This is such good news!!!

Thanks for the suggestions! All has been going well, and it almost feels light a weight has been lifted off me, as I have not been using my phone at night to fall asleep. It’s reduced my phone use in general, even during the day! And I love that I am moving my body more everyday now. I get a lot of satisfaction crossing off a day as “complete”. 🙂

That’s awesome!

I usually getting 8 hours of sleep, so I am surprised that after only 2 nights of getting to bed & lights out by midnight, waking feeling a little more rested.

we will see. there is a lot in this list that goes to the root of my life struggel ( my story ) I this have wonderful opportunity here in being accountable to the ambition. is it an easy intention, or a notch on the ol belt of ‘done that’–so, i’ll ease into the list- i have nothing more important to be about. today, now this isn’t hard for me.…

This is a lovely list!

Do you think it’s ambitious, or is this pretty easy for you? You could look at doing a bit less for your first go around?

Ah, I meant it that way: I can’t always control that I get 8 hours of sleep (especially when traveling, due to late arrivals, or long drives and having to get up early). But I’d like to make it a habit for most days, so I wondered what the best approach would be.

It’s probably more realistic to go for meditating before bed and journaling,…

movement / floor exercise/outdoors activity / 1 hr daily

meditation / morning and night-30/min minimum daily

minimal dish diet-no processed food.

1 day month-do what comes spontaneous/ w/o food.

creative project/30 min minimal/daily:

vigilant mind-daily journal-observations:

That is absolutely perfect!!!

That’s cool!!!

But don’t change the challenge. You can always drink more any time!

Yay!!!!

Yay!!!! That got Jaye excited!!!

This is all great! Or you could do numbers of pages. We did 10 and found we often read more!

Explain more what happens because we don’t see why you’d need “excuses?” Maybe the letting go meditation before sleep? You can build the flexibility into it. Even 5 mins of meditation is better than getting on social media. It’s the habit of what happens before sleep.

15-30 minutes of meditation and journaling before bed seems really doable but with the 8 hours/day I’m a bit uncertain (e.g. what to do when a flight/train ride is delayed?)… I’d like to try it and maybe allow myself 3 excuses in case of emergencies? Or would that be cheating? 😅

It’s more of a “not having the discipline/attention”-problem that has established over the past 5 years. I find it difficult to get enough sleep when traveling (one or two weeks per month), as being on the road makes me a little nervous and stressed out. I’ve noticed some difficulties finding a relaxed state of mind and winding down in the…

The things that I’m going to be working on this 100 days as more meditation and more Qigong.

I will be doing meditations before even getting out of bed the deer the crane and the turtle.

And then my goal is later in the day to either do Shen Gong, eight directions, seven circles dao yin or a few animal forms.

I’m also going to add more…

For this 100 day challenge I am going to do:

~sword form

~microcosmic orbit

~chinese calligraphy

Here is my challenge I still have a hour to get to bed with lights out and 3 chores to go. Already drank my 8 cups of water thinking of upping the water to 10 cups. Hope everyone had a nice Friday.

Count me in, I’ll list a plan and start tomorrow. Making some adjustments…

I woke up this morning with clarity about what to do and why I’m doing it for the 100-day challenge. The first 3 below are my current routine, but the bulleted items are the commitment to add and do for 100 days. It feels like a gentle, loving act to prepare me for the day, to be seen, and ease my flow into the day.

New Morning – 100 days

The face washing is about feeling fresh and ready. It gives me a feeling that I am a priority and ready for the day. I’m more willing to be seen and go out into the world. It also feels deeply nourishing (self-love act).

Oddly, for some people, the diet change if it’s simple… like one thing, is achievable for many people even though it sometimes sounds impossible.

7 circles is a wonderful place to start! We always do them every single day (mostly in the mornings). You can even do them twice a day. They are so simple, don’t take a long time, and really are so great for you health.

What is the washing your face symbolizing for you? I’m curious about that one.

What a wonderful gift Tammy! I think it also sounds achievable for you.

That is a great one!

We just finished our 100 days of no corn! Haha! Funny we are swapping and giving something else up (to be determined tonight) for the next round… we’re celebrating by having popcorn tonight!

The way I do my qi gong is that I have a set that I do (that’s on the Learning Center), and a Shen Gong, that we taught at a previous retreat. I do those everyday. HOW I DO them changes everyday. Some days I feel rushed and disinterested, so I do less. Some days I’m totally into it! So that works for me.. Everyone is different!

That’s great. Okay, let’s think of actionable things you can do to get more sleep because you can’t always control how much you sleep?

I’ve been asking my body and spirit team what I could do in the next 100 days, knowing that I have sold my house, will be packing, moving, and allowing my next home to be revealed. Oh and traveling to MA! 🎉 I thought I wanted to do the rebounder (trampoline) for 3 minutes a day, but then I realized I won’t have access to it for several weeks. …

For this 100 day challenge, I’m committing to a minimum 30 minutes of Yi Quan (standing meditation) practice daily.

My goal is to reboot, revitalize, and advance my Qigong, meditation, and breathwork practices. So, I’ll add other practices, but Yi Quan is my 100 day gift to myself.

Out of the three challenges I mentioned I am committing to one: Exercise/Movement 30 min a day

Woo hoo! 100 day Challenge!

I will be: cutting out corn (it’s the only grain I’m in love with), sword form (or/both) Shen Gong daily (preferably outside), meditating daily (with extra focus on mirco-cosmic orbit), attend as many dance classes as possible, 24 hour fast near/on full moon every month, and intentional dreaming w/ dream journaling.

for my 100 day challenge I’m thinking of

minimum of 8 cups of water a day with hope by time challenge is over up to 12 cups per day. Plus getting into bed with lights out by midnight.

I’ve been working on the water and doing pretty well, but the getting into bed is a laugh, the kitchen is getting cleaner every day

Exercise/Movement 30 min a day.

An Embodied Listening Journal – record daily the narration of 3-5 intimate connections experienced in person, by cell phone or face-time, in nature, or telepathically.

Read 10 pages daily from Mystery Gate, Energy of Love, or Connecting Your Circle.

I’ve been thinking of doing qi gong daily

making a drawing/little painting/sketch everyday

and meditating for 10-20 mins

it might be kind of a lot…but I’ve been doing the first two almost everyday this past month so I feel like I can keep it going. I am also thinking about what Emiliana said and having a short/med/long version of each…

I’d like my challenge to bring me back to a more grounded state, meaning:

1) establishing a regular healthy sleep/wake cycle (getting at least 8 hours of sleep daily), which I’m finding myself often to neglect for longer periods of time

2) 15-30 minutes of meditation before going to bed, maybe with journaling?

Hi Julie,

This is a wonderful start! Movement is so lovely, even when you have a lot of resistance. The movement is its own reward (you always feel better afterwards!). The no phone in bed is awesome. I did that for many challenges! We also simultaneously did 10 mins or 10 pages of reading a BOOK (remember those???) and amazingly that puts you…

Wonderful!

This was one of the hardest things for me when I first started out. But now it’s easy. It’s a joy to do something for yourself in the morning. After doing this for a few 100 days, I’ve settled into mostly getting up with an hour or two for self-cultivation (before having to do worldly stuff). But on days when I can’t, I make sure to do it…

This is an awesome one TK. Let’s think about some ways to ground that. Would it help to journal that? I’m also going to post an electronic copy of our daily 100 Day Challenge journal. You can buy the physical journal online too. But maybe just some writing in your morning? For me, even to write down what number day I’m on helps me remember to…

I’m looking at two things to do for my first challenge:

-at least 20 minutes of dedicated movement in the form of conscious dance or walking

-no cell phone usage in bed

I bought an “old school” alarm clock so I don’t need to rely on my phone for the time/alarm. 🙂

I’m desiring my time without my phone to be filled with connection to myself and…

I’d like to continue my daily practice of releasing chaotic energy plus add 5-10” of meditation daily.

For my 100 day challenge, I want to work on waking up at a consistent hour every day and do gratitude & prayer journaling. Sleep is something that I can accidentally over indulge in and it makes facing the day quite challenging.

My challenge is to be grateful, joyous, and look forward to my day.

I thought I would start today but I have not been able to get there yet today….

I will start again tomorrow!

This is our new 100 Day Challenge Forum — a place to share our thoughts about doing the 100 Day challenge. To start: you can share what you think you might like to do for the 100 Day Challenge!

Greetings all:

I’m Elroy in the first year group. I have not been disappointed in coming here to find diverse folk with a common intention. I have found these classes, different elements and our guides both comforting and challenging…thanks for ‘bring it’.
