Day 80 - Socialising

It was a socialising day today, so it felt like I had not ticked anything off on my 100 actions list. However, it did achieve a minor de-cluttering by passing on the Japanese books. It was also an opportunity to be open about my mental health journey. And of course to use Japanese, and some semblance of practicing goals starting to form.

I had a dose of feel-good from a gifting theme day. This was one of the quotes from a reading:

"To be truthful your comfort zone never really existed, it was simply an illusion created by self to keep you feeling safe and small."

I also received a call to action from another reading, which was interesting considering I had an 'off' day of sorts from creating content. Also it was a reminder that I will be required to take big actions towards publishing my works.

On the home front, this is now visible in the dining room at baby's eye level.

 I am perfectly enough day #5

Day 79 - Abundance

Today I was contemplating abundance. This too, was easy to give thanks to all the stuff I have, the ability to cull and give away, and the space I have to store or have on display around the house. Give thanks to the abundance of water from last two days of rain, and the abundance of sunshine all day today. That I have enough to share with baby for her growth and well-being. That I have enough for my happiness.

3 minutes to midday, I finished my drawing task for today, which was an amazing feeling. Knowing I finished for the day I was able to nap with baby guilt-free in the afternoon.

Day #4 of 'I am perfectly enough.' I shared the concept with the Peach Tree mums and it looks like I have 'perfectly enough' buddies with me for the next few months.

Abundance has many forms and exploring them is great fun!

Day 78 - Joy

Today's focus was JOY. This one was easy to list what brought me joy. I also laughed a lot today, was productive with my drawings (did two!), had an enjoyable lunch with baby, and had the opportunity to Skype with my father.

I read a lot of other people's visualisation - interestingly most of the their happy places were by the sea. For the 'waves to wash away their worries.'

Lastly, I washed my hair tonight. Small gesture perhaps, but also an accomplishment to have my own 'washing away my worries' time.

Day #3 of seeing 'I am perfectly enough' on my phone.

Day 77 - Wholeness

Today's contemplation was on WHOLENESS. To me, wholeness feels like everything; completeness, and yet also the beginning, freshness. It is a feeling to feel into, and then expand from.

Anne suggested I twerk the "I am enough" alarm statement to "I am perfectly enough." So I have 99 more days of "I am perfectly enough" to look forward to several times a day.

As I was working at a cafe, a young man came up and asked about the page. He shared with me his works, and I was able to pass on convention information written by Megs Drinkwater. I wish him success!

Day 76 - Peace

I started the day on the PEACE page.

I make space in this world for peace in all moments. I remove all blockages to manifesting peace in all moments. I stretch my capacity to manifest and accept peace in all moments.

From Jen Ward's Jenuine Healing Sharing Circle

I listed a few things that make me feel peaceful. It was harder than I thought it would be. It made me contemplate what peace means. There were a lot of avoiding sentences, for example 'avoid toxic people.'

"Learn to recognise tension and stress in others around you and be aware of your reaction to it. Always choose which brings peace"

From 'A Perfect Calm' by Alan Hewitt

Today's event I went to Anne Aleckson's Mind Your Own Vibration, as I felt the need for direction for this new year. Among the great messages that were spoken and discussed, it was suggested I do the 'I am enough' exercise as my 100 days goal. To be aware of the shifts that happen as my phone alarms at 4 intervals, I AM ENOUGH.

By the end of the day, I had affirmations running in my head: "I am peaceful, I am peace, I am whole and complete, I am enough."

I also had visuals in my head to turn these affirmations into colouring pages. Which, as I feel into it more, feels like an achievable goal in 100 days. Now to jot down the 100 (micro)action steps.

Day 75 - De-cluttering Books

While I still don't have a clear goal for the 100 Days, I'm enjoying reading people's posts of their progresses. It is very inspiring to see.

Today I went through my book collection, half of which includes what is left of my mother's collection. Even though I had gone through it several times before, there are still a lot I want to hold onto. This time I only got two small bags (one Japanese pile, one English pile). Still, it is a cull. I also found books I wanted more easy access to, and some I had forgotten about.

One of the books I found was A Perfect Calm. It's a pocket book of visualisation by Alan Hewitt. Here is an example entry:

"Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional." - Anonymous.Visualise the pain easing.

Day 74 - Happy New Year

As a happy new year to myself, I started the day putting on the Magnify Your Purpose oil, and used Joy oil as perfume to go out for the morning.

In the haze of recovering from late night and early morning start, this afternoon I opened my first email reminder of the 100 day journal from The Business Bakery. Since I haven't created or thought about goals for this year, the best place to start was to write today's entry.

Speaking of 100, I'm almost there with writing my 100th entry. I have enough posts now to start sorting through the tags and observing my topics. Along with this blog, the dinosaur drawings, and the short stories I'm creating, it's going to be a busy productive year.

I also found this gem posted by Jen Ward, to which I wrote the words on separate pages. Awakeness and baby allowing, I will complete filling out the pages in the next few days.

TECHNIQUE:  

Tap in Your New Year Intentions: Make a list of these words down the right hand of a piece of paper: Joy, Love, Abundance, Freedom, Health, Success, Security, Companionship, Peace, Life and Wholeness. Write down next to each one, what would bring you the greatest amount of each. For example, for joy, it may mean spending more time with your children or being around more animals. It will be different for everyone. After you have all the sentences, Convert them into sentences. Use these sentences as taps and tap them into your psyche. If you need to formulate them, into things you want to manifest, write them like this:  

"I make space in this world for _____________; in all moments"
"I remove all blockages to manifesting ____________; in all moments"
"I stretch my capacity to manifest and accept ____________; in all moments:

Card of the Day:

Polar Bear: "Stand up for yourself and speak your truth respectfully and compassionately, with no attachment to outcome."
