I Dared You… how did you do?

Whew, the week has come and gone and I don’t know about you but I found this past week to be full of surprises!

What did I discover? Here are a few answers to my own questions:

1. What did you do in lieu of watching TV?
   • I mowed the front lawn at 5:30 in the evening. This is definitely unusual!
   • I finished a couple of half read books.
   • I spent a couple of wonderful evenings with my granddaughter, mom and daughter.
   • I took the time to revisit my goals/vision journal and found myself adding to it!
   • I actually cooked myself a meal, lit a candle and enjoyed a leisurely glass of wine.
   • I used some of my evening time to meditate and breath.
   • I listened to some of my favorite inspirational tapes.
   • I took the time to dust off and ride my bike with my friend!
2. How did you feel?
   • Very anxious at first.
3. What did you like about it?
   • Eventually the incredible awareness of myself and surroundings.
   •  I did not feel mentally or physically tired or exhausted at night.
4. What did you dislike about it?
   • I found it very hard to turn off my thoughts to sleep!
5. What surprised you about this experience?
   • I was very surprised at the amount of “found time” I discovered.
   • I was also shocked at the amount of TV I had been watching and how unaware of it I was.
6. Do you think it made a difference in your mood or attitude?
   • I felt better and had more energy.
   • It was not so much that I was happier and more positive, which I was, but more importantly that I was much more in touch with what I was feeling whether it was good or bad.
7. And of course… did you cheat?
   • Just twice!!!!!

So how did you do? You know you don’t need a challenge to try this experiment. You can start enjoying the sound of your thoughts whenever and as often as you like.
