So interesting! We were just talking at dinner how we were taught to eat all our food no matter what!

You could start more simply since right now is tricky for you… what’s something that you can accomplish as a starting place… remember – being kind to yourself is also key!

I love the conversation with myself when I can’t do something I thought I could do! I just keep working on all the ways things seem to prevent me from doing it.

yes, we started 4/11

I liked your idea of getting started earlier so you can be settled by midnight.

I love the idea of an embodied listening journal… what would that be like?

Here’s my trick… put your feet on the floor, even if it’s just one foot over the side of the bed. For some reason, putting kidney 1 on the floor wakes you up!

But also, I started with 10 or 20 mins earlier than normal. Somehow I could convince myself of that.

Hi Elroy (and this is for everyone)…

If you are legitimately very sick or hurt… you get a pass! But we encourage you to still do what you can and stay in it. For example, if you’re doing Tai Chi as part of your 100 Day Challenge – you can do it in bed! In your mind – just moving your hands and arms, but envisioning it in your head. Whatever…

This is such good news!!!

That’s awesome!

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?

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.

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?

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…
