Thank you Holly! It was a great challenge. Lots of easily integrated shifts and practices. 🩷

I started this thinking my real challenge would be sharing my learning and reflections because I always felt like the light is much better focused on others. It was a challenge, but more challenging is the realisation of how deeply ingrained the self talk that minimises me is. It’s been a delight to let myself listen to the good practices I encourage others to use all the time! It’s been wonderful to remind myself I’m worth the efforts and then agree with myself so much that I’m keeping a few key ones 🤣 It’s been a tiny and also magnificent growth. Thank you Holly. Thank you me.

I danced and danced, for the sake of dancing and the joy of being able to do so, and oh so silly! It was contagious - we were all laughing 😜 I’m so glad because the rest of the day was filled with hard and serious work and also moments of appreciation for the joy.

Not really loving writing a letter to future me..present me was very stuck in the idea that I can work hard but things won’t really change. Then day 28 challenged me to consider what negative tracks I’m stuck in. So I wrote future me another letter. I told me to read the first letter, then the second, and remember that time I spent a day thinking about all the ways and days I blocked myself, and decided NOT TODAY. So read that letter, future me, and remember who you are. 💕

My empty tank light came on at the end of day 17. I am dealing with a lot of different things at the moment, almost all of them are not in my power to control, but I have some influence on how well the other people involved travel their journey. This is a heavy load, and I am happy to do it. What I realised on day 17 was that instead of leaning into taking care of myself, I was adding to the work by giving myself activities to complete when my energy was actually pretty low for that. The willingness was strong, but the tank was empty, and I was doing the wrong things to fill the tank. So, I paused the learning/refreshing of activities like this challenge and deliberately gave myself a week or so to bed down the practices I had been learning up to day 17. I’ve spent the time journaling, my sleep routine is back on track, I’ve set up good habits to transition from one task/process/situation to another, and dedicated time to building rest into my day. And I struggled with feeling guilty that I was not doing “enough” or had failed at the 30 day challenge - for about 4 days. I am delighted that when I came back to day 18 - there was a lovely reminder to do exactly what I had done! FILLED THE TANK! And now continuing the road trip 😊🤣

@Emma Murphy I’m a fan of naps too! 😊
