Nina-Rose is Going Back to Basics


Recommended Posts

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

Happy respawn! :D 

 

Doing a trial run is a smart idea. What are GUGY and CNM? What kind of things do you write?

I didn't even think to explain my own jargon :P It's not fitness related.

 

CNM is the book Codependant No More by Melody Beattie which I'm working through as I await therapy from my failed marriage. 

GUGY is a Life Coaching yearlong course called Grown-Up Gap Year by Tiffany Han. All about listening to my instincts and living the life I want, not defined by my roles 😃

 

I've begun multiple novels, completing drafts of 9/16. I have a website with my stats here: https://krgreen.co.uk/novels/

I'm currently working on 'Project TFG' which has gone out to beta-readers and I'm editing based on the feedback. 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.

I like that you have "listen to..." in your Creative Fire category. Creativity is o much more than the act of creating something. :)

Thank you for explaining :D Makes more sense now... :P 
I also joined the clicky group and wandered around on your site. 

 

Love what you're doing - I too was a tree once 🌴 although I failed to find deeper connection though... 🤷‍♂️

Also very cool that you work with hawks! 

Btw; the hawk pic on the home page needs a little work. The about me link is broken.

Thanks for clarifying. that doesnt show up for me - it must autocorrect with my cache or something. 

Okay I've reset the link in theory and on my private window it now works - hopefully this fixes it? Appreciate you flagging it up :)

 

Also thanks for calling me a badass hawk woman :P
