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.

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

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 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 to sleep too! Pick a slightly boring book though! haha! In one of our group challenges, we all did the reading a book thing and shared a cool book list. That was fun! If you do a book reading challenge, I might recommend doing it with some flexibility – I had a tough time not falling asleep after a page or two, and tried hard to keep myself awake, which was so yucky! So you can think about that and craft it in a way that works for you. Try it out tonight!

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 before bedtime. So flexibility helps. But in the beginning, I was glad I did it more strictly so I could develop a new habit. I got up at 5:00 am for those challenges. And I still do it most days. So you can play with it for your first challenge. You could say you’re going to get up 20 minutes earlier. You could say you’ll get up x minutes earlier than you need to (depending on your day’s schedule). Think about what’s realistically achievable!

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 do whatever I’m doing… so even a minimal amount of journaling can really help to keep you on track!
