I've decided it's time to start a blog to focus myself on staying tuned-in, tapped-in, turned-on as Abraham likes to say.
Having recently returned from a Divine Openings 5-Day Silent Retreat in California, my attunement to Grace has increased, but I find myself lacking the focus I need to keep myself on track. So I'm going to give myself a 30 Day Challenge.
For the next 30 days, I will be going to the gym every day. I don't have to work out intensely every day. I just need to go there every day. My intention is to work out rigorously at least 4 days a week, following Zuzka's workout plans online. The other days I'll do something gentler like a yoga or belly-dance class, or even just walking uphill on the treadmill for 20 minutes or so. But as long as I get myself to the gym, then I've met my challenge.
The second thing I will do is post a list of all the things I appreciated as I went about my day. Any little thing at all, as long as it jumped out at me as something to appreciate, I'm going to list it here at the end of each day.
This is my own private challenge for now. I don't need to share this with anyone, I just want to have an archive of my progress so that I can stay focused.
So since today is day 1, I have met my first challenge. I did a Zropes workout, which kicked my ass! Wow, it was so satisfying to push myself through 40 burpees! Amazing. I love my body.
Things I appreciated today: cool music videos, watching Dexter, eating amazing food, indulging in a fluke Dunkin' Donuts craving (this actually never happens, so I was like "fuck it!"), taking a photo of myself in a bikini in the snow (!!), running around with Ollie in the snow and watching him romp, giving Ollie a bath and subsequently petting his freshly fluffed fur (alliteration!), licking up baked bean sauce and egg yolk after finishing a delicious cowboy breakfast (one of my favorites!), hot shower relaxing my shoulders and back and neck, new toothbrush, shoveling snow (satisfying work), Pharrel's video and song "Happy," making it to the gym, Zuzka's awesome and uplifting website, getting scripts for an upcoming paid acting gig (yay! work!), enjoying my inner world for a while, breathing more deeply after working out, eating yogurt with granola and honey and bananas, making commitments to myself and keeping them, lovingly connecting with the Divine Openings community.
Love,
Adrienne
PS. Forgot to mention my starting weight! Not that I'm particularly doing this to lose weight (I'm actually doing it because it makes me feel really good. I love my body as it is now), but it's fun to see things change. I'm weighing in at 160 lbs. Let's see where I end up by day 30!
