Week 39’s Task of 50 Weeks to a Lighter More Loving You is Dread Locks.

I often wonder how many people were inspired to dreadlock their hair after Johnny Depp’s coiffure in Pirates of the Caribbean.    Unfortunately, if you have wanted to try dreadlocks, this isn’t the week for that…though feel free to do so.  If you are worried I’m going to ask you to dreadlock your hair, no fear, I’m not.

This week, get out your journal and write down everything you DREAD. 

Things that LOCK you up in procrastination, avoidance or a bad mood. 

Maybe these things give you anxiety or frustration.

The things that make you go…

• UGH!
• Do I have to!!??
• I’d rather eat nails than do that!

List things you know you have to do and are necessary in your life but cause you DREAD just to think about them.  

Things like…

• paying bills
• grocery shopping
• planning or making meals
• laundry
• cleaning
• yard work
• car maintenance
• taxes
• finding or dealing with insurance
• filing
• de-cluttering
• exercise
• good nutrition
• travel packing
• yearly Dr. visits
• etc.

For right now, just list them.  Feel free to share some of you Dread Locks in the comments.

Cheering You on to a Whole Dread Lock List Heart,
