GryffindorGoddess is Evolving

[GryffindorGoddess]

ev·o·lu·tion

(noun)

the gradual development of something, especially from a simple to a more complex form.

Synonyms: development, advancement, growth, rise, progress, expansion, unfolding

 

Hello! I am GryffindorGoddess - or GG - and this is my first challenge. I know most people start with the Recruits on their first challenge, but I really feel like I belong here. I am evolving. Slowly. But I am. I am making changes in my life that will help me to grow in to the strong, healthy, and amazing woman that I know I can be. I am looking forward to the changes that will come, to the new experiences I will have, to the things I will let go. I cannot wait to see what has been hiding under my cloud of doubt and laziness. I have called myself goddess for many years, yet have not been behaving as one for quite some time. It is time to fix that. It is time to become the goddess I have long since claimed to be.

[GryffindorGoddess]

My goddess inspiration - for quite a while now - is Lilith. Her affirmation/prayer/poem really resonates with me.

 

I dance my life for myself

I am whole

I am complete

I say what I mean

and I mean what I say

I dance the dark and the light

the conscious and the unconscious

the sane and the insane

and I speak from myself

authentically

with total conviction

without regard for how I might look

All the parts of myself

flow into the whole

all my divergent selves unite as one

I listen

to what needs to be heard

I never make excuses

I feel my feelings

deeply an d profoundly

I never hide

I live my sexuality

to please myself

and pleasure others

I express it as it needs to be expressed

from the core of myself

from the wholeness of my dance

I am female

I am sexual

I am power

I was greatly feared

Welcome and GRYYYYYYYFINDOR!

 

I really love your goals and your motivation. A+ on the book goal. I love reading but I haven't put any time in it since 2015 started. My 2015 Book Goal is very sad and constantly reminding me of how many books behind I am.

 

Subbing to offer lots of support and good juju!

[GryffindorGoddess]

Thank you kelliefications! I love to read! I used to devour books at an insatiable rate. Now, I might read one book in a month. I've been watching a lot more TV than I used to. I want to get back to reading. 

 

Thanks for the support!

[Bekah]

Hola! It looks we have lots of similar goals and well...books

I think I am going to get fired if I dont say that generally you have to start as a recruit, bc you learn how shit works with goal setting and finding comrades and whatnot is part of their mini challenges and all, but you seem to have that handled, and also its my job to help newbies anyways, so if you need something, just yell, k?

I'm excited to watch you become the Goddess you are!

Double Post Dance

[GryffindorGoddess]

Hello Bekah! I know I'm new to Nerd Fitness, but I think I'll do much better here than in the Recruits. I know the path I want to go down.  Thanks for looking out! I'll be sure to tag you if I need some help. 

 

Thanks for the support!

[GryffindorGoddess]

Plans for Week One

- Mason jar lunches for work (to be made tonight)

- "The Rise of Superman" to be read this week

- No work on Friday -- no bedtime for Thursday night, no early morning on Friday

- Camping Friday evening to Sunday evening

[Little Owl]

I want to say that your challenge looks super interesting, I eventually want to implement your goal 3 and 4 in my life but I want to wait a bit before doing it. And well for yoga, it's also my challenge this time, so I'll be glad to see how you're doing and support if you ever need it !

Gooooood luck and cheers !

[GryffindorGoddess]

Thank you Little Owl! Goals 3 and 4 kinda go along with my yoga goal. I want to start doing my workouts before I leave for work in the morning which means that I'll have to get up earlier, which means that I should go to bed earlier. It's going to be tough, but it will be worth it. Thanks for the luck!
