    I'm enjoying the thread when I can, but no time to post very often, this baby is keeping me busy!
    On the transatlatic challenge blog there have only been a few posts in october - is this right or have i missed something?

    Trying to keep up, must try harder !

    You are not behind - especially not with a wee one in tow.

    For the past couple of weeks I've been bringing the stuff from coaching calls that people might find useful over here - and I think it will stay her in instead over over on the MAtrix site. YSWIM

    :j:TREPORTING IN ON LAST DAY OF 100 DAY CHALLENGE:T:j


    So remember way back when we started this journey together we set ourselves some 100 day challenges?

    Care to share?

    This is my list - goodness it feels like forever since I wrote it - in a whole other universe.

    FAMILY

    Get DS2 moved into own bed in own room and sleeping happily DONE

    SOCIAL
    Find a network of positive and supportive friends that want to build prosperous, abundant lives of contribution and energy. DONE Well if you are reading this - then thats you!!! Funny but I'd forgotten about this until I opened my envelope today.

    PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT:
    Use the Mindstore programme 50x in 100 days DONE 74.
    Read, reread and read again "the Secret" - Its till on my bedside table and I start the morning with it

    HEALTH:

  • Happy Monday folks. This week is going to be a bit of a killer for me... lots of meetings, and little time to do the work resulting from them! Plus, OH is managing a release of software at his work and basically said to me this morning as I left for work that he will see me on Friday! So all of the housework and cooking and animal care and what not all falls to me. Still, I have positivity, I have energy and dangnabit, I am going to achieve! :D

    I have joined the forum MG - instructions were very clear and cogent. One problem though, is that although it says there are 5 posts and replies... I can only see the first one introducing the forum. Have I done something wrong?

    Right then folks. Off to make my first cup of tea for the day and get my motor running. Have a good one! :D

    Guilty as charged M'Lud.

    I think a few of us have found the "accept every offer of help" really difficult to stick to:D:D (haven't we chaps).......................... so am going to resort to a very old trick of mine

    ...................just for today!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    .............I am open to the Universe offering me any help that I will need. :) Don't know exactly what I will be offered yet ............ but thats what makes it exciting.

    That's a good approach. I don't think Psycho's comment was aimed at you though... :o

    So, after my first cup of tea, I have had a look at the forum again. I can't create a new post either. :( Anyone got any ideas?!

    Good morning Matrix and other friends,

    I hardly ever post in the morning but today is a very special day – it is the end of the 100 day challenge and it is Mr. F’s birthday. So special days demand special action.

    I set myself only one goal for the 100 day challenge: to finish the book about fitness (and I had not started it back than). Meanwhile loads else has happened so will be including intended and un-intended achievements.

    Finish book (working title Fitness for All)

    Book is 80% there – the parts left to do are mainly down to co-author who is a top fitness instructor and has been very busy over the summer: racing and training. Shall be done, dusted and will be selling like hot bread by Christmas.

    Job

    During the first two weeks of October 2010 I received invitations for three key note speeches (academic ones) and one workshop. Two of those are in areas I set out to establish myself in couple of years ago.

    Between August and today have been approached twice to do consultancy.

    Have co-organised a high level workshop for next April; top academics not only accepted to come (without honorarium) but also are really keen and interested. Also just heard that the funder of the project decided to fund the workshop separately which frees some more funds for the research itself (£10K to be precise).

    Have submitted one paper to a top journal; have one almost ready to submit and another one in progress.

    Personal growth

    During the last 100 days I:

    Learned who I am;
    Figured out what I want;
    Developed a plan how to get what I want;
    Have started implementing the plan.

    Not bad for only 100 days. Thanks guys and for many more like that – without you and all the chat about cooking and bras, business and grounding, visualisation and mantras my life would have been so static and boring. With you I learned to learn rather than blame, support rather than put down – I learned that a supportive group is all we need to blossom.

    Morning! Um, I think I joined after the 100 days general challenge, I didn't know about that :o

    I'd set myself a 30 day challenge, following the blog .... and that 30 days ended last Saturday.

    I have to report :o:o:o I sabotaged myself with old patterns - the aim was to establish a spiritual practice (specifically, listening to a meditation CD, possibly joining a meditation group).

    What actually happened is that I never made time to do this .... I carried on working too hard at the practical bits of trying to get this house up and running (moved in mid-August) in the middle of seeing clients at home and having building work done so that I *can* see said clients. And that resulted in the final piece of the sabotage, where I got sick - I've been ill for half of those 30 days, with a bad cold thats left me totally drained of energy, I'm still spending whatever time I can either in bed or crashed out in an armchair ...

    I'm really not sure where to go from here....
