Nina-Rose Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 This is my respawn from 2017, and I'm exploring what does and doesn't work for me in 2022. I began this challenge last week as a trial - partly because I need consistency, but also because I'm going to be away for the final week of this challenge. So my week 0 is at the end of the last thread. I've tweaked a couple of the goals, but managed 20/30 XP last week, For this 4 weeks, I'm trying to really scale back to things which make a difference. Foundational Waters -Avoid unhealthy food choices (sweets/chocolate) for a whole day (_/1). -Eat 5 fruit/veggies at least 2 days. (_/2) -Intermittent Fast 15 hours. (_/7) Strength of Earth -Daily Movement / Stretching / Yoga (_/7) -Additional Walk / Workout (_/1) Scholarly Air -Read Nonfiction (_/2) -Read Fiction (_/2) -Complete a CNM chapter journal prompt (_/2) -Complete the GUGY journal prompt (_/1) Creative Fire -Write fiction (350 words / 2) -Write nonfiction article (/1) -Listen to ‘We Can Do Hard Things’ podcast weekly (/2) Total XP: /30 per week 4 1 Quote Nina-Rose Druid | Assassin | Monk ...if Ezio Auditore did metta... https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/102562 2022 Challenges: 14, 15 Old 4-week challenges: 1-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 Link to comment

I've had a few short stories paid for and published too, but no luck in my early attempts to get an agent so returned to make the best book I can=) I write on medium.com too, but that's nonfiction. 1 Quote Nina-Rose Druid | Assassin | Monk ...if Ezio Auditore did metta... https://www.nerdfitness.com/character/102562 2022 Challenges: 14, 15 Old 4-week challenges: 1-2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 Link to comment

Scaly Freak Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 I like that you have "listen to..." in your Creative Fire category. Creativity is o much more than the act of creating something. 2 Quote The Great Reading Thread of 2023 “I've always believed that failure is non-existent. What is failure? You go to the end of the season, then you lose the Super Bowl. Is that failing? To most people, maybe. But when you're picking apart why you failed, and now you're learning from that, then is that really failing? I don't think so." - Kobe Bryant, 1978-2020. Rest in peace, great warrior.
