I am doing really well with my 8 cups of water a day and getting better at not having to drink 3 cups right before bed. And the 3 minutes of movement has opened the door for more movement, but tonight might be just 3 min. That getting to bed with lights out by midnight has me back on day three. tonight I hope to be in bed by 9:30, starting…

One way to think about the 100 day challenge is… are you curious about doing something for 100 days and then see if you like it? Some of the things I’ve done, I learned I really don’t want to do it. And then some things that were super hard to do, like getting up early, I LOVE doing. So who knows…

It just gave me a giggle, I will get to the goal one toe at a time til I can judge my worth before sunrise 🙂 <3

leta-

this helps very much—the challenge morphs with what is-and yet it can still be ever there for how i decide to play…

Well that backs up your desire to sleep in, doesn’t it! What’s cool is that you get to design your own 100 days and your own life. If sleeping in means the success of your happy life, then yes!! Be all in on that! 😍

Slow and fast

Fast (I hope)

Slow (I think)

Uh oh…

It’s so wonderful how you’re having a dialogue with yourself. The 100 day challenge isn’t necessarily about the Wood-Winning… the Win is having that dialogue and starting to understand yourself more deeply… why you get stuck in mindless patterns… bringing more mindfulness to the pattern and being in that discussion. Yay! Congrats!

Embodied Listening Journal

I am choosing this as a daily practice rather than the pressure/no pressure of a 100 Day Challenge 😊. I write in a journal at the end of each day an account of “listening” emotionally, viscerally, energetically, and mentally of what goes on inside me when I connect with three others. I take notice of facial…

This is such a good trick! I will try this out tomorrow AM 🙂

OK I am back at day ONE still entertained I am doing well with the 8 cups of water sometimes 4 cups 2 hours before bed not the smartest choice and the 3 minutes of exercise is going well 4 minuets and 4 sec of walking this morning. Plus before our 100 day challenge started I started a 90 day Tapping challenge with a friend that is doing well,…

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.

5 am is impressive and has been my aspiration for about a decade LOL. This part of my challenge is proving difficult even though my goal “isn’t big”, I’m gonna keep trying different things. I have started bargaining with myself and making excuses for why I shouldn’t have to wake up earlier than my body desires because this is a “rare period…

Welp, I’m in the reset club!!! I had an evening with my girlfriends this weekend, and we went to brunch on Sunday. The place had awesome food, and the server said the grits are her favorite. I immediately jumped on it… and then realized after I ordered that they are made of CORN!!! AH! I decided to eat them because I hate wasting food… so…

I am back at day 1 this is the third time getting into bed by midnight really its the light out that is bring me back to day 1. Amazingly I am not even frustrated, just enjoying the journey. I am getting closer and already feel better what’s not to like. I did add 3 minuets of movements everyday to my challenge, and I am doing well with 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…

We’d love to have you share your walking videos with everyone. We can look at your Elemental stack-up as you move through time and space.

To create a walking video for a Five Elemental Energetic Evaluation, please follow these directions:

Find an area with plenty of room to walk in. A long hall, large room, or outdoors is best. Longer is better…

checking in.. I am sidelined physically at the moment, so this will be a whole new ‘restart. movement has always been my go to, so this will be a reframing and surrendering to what is at the moment===i will regroup and go again.

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…

Hello all I’m Rudy. I’m in my second year but trying really hard to catch up on my first. Lol.

My elements are water wood fire.

I’m really glad to be here in this environment I really love what I’m learning. More importantly I’m really in love with what I’m unlearning.

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…

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…
