not talk about my past for 30 days

Goal per member: 0 day

letting go .

I realize that I have been thinking and talking about my past too much. Although I know that sometimes you have to look back in order to move forward. I would love to free myself from using up precious time by dwelling on my past.

I am challenging myself to not talk about my past for 30 days. If you have a story that you tell to anyone who is willing to listen - then free yourself and give the listener back there time and energy.

12 years ago I gave up TV for 40 days and have not watched tv since. YES really no TV in 12 years.

So I trust that the "whoa is me" story telling will have the same effect. I will share my story with others... if it helps them past a painful situation in my their life and I can be used as a testimony. Lately however, I have been experiencing pity... and I really want to let that go.

I am so ready to let go...

Thank you for joining my challenge

St_Nick	i talked about my weight today but I was offering am answers to someone's question. it'shard not to talk about weight release while you are losing weight. because will ask "how are you doing it?"
Rachaels	Today was a challenge Well--I talked alot about the past. Particularly my previous employer. . . . . . . . .
landaG	Back Well I was on a camping trip got back yesterday evening. I did really good and didnt talk about anything bad. My mind didnt wander into my past either. Guess it was the fresh air and peace and quiet. OMG was so GREAT!!
St_Nick	i still talk about my weight loss hell I am to darn excited... people keep giving me complements and asking what am I doing that it is hard not to talk about it... but I don't initiate it.
	Away for the holiday But did great while I was away
sirg	favourite memory wow, trying to think of something. I guess a day when my sister bought material and got a taylor to make me a suit.
St_Nick	you know as a massage therapist I get to listen more than I talk... with those open ended question ... I plug in statements like 'hmm good question" or "is that so" beacause if I don't then I get on my soap box and start singing the whoa is me* song...* great share so2u.* Thanks* good idea nickstar... but if you talk about your childhood only tell the good stuff...if there isnt any make it up... who's gonna know... Seriously, my point is - you get to create the life you want. so if you want to let go of the dark past.. you can... my favorite childhood memory is: includes roastbeef, mash potatoes, green beens, HIGH C peach drink and pineapple upside down cake... ;) (comfort food) what's your favorite childhood memory? ... everybody join in on this question... Please
so2u	how to live to be 90 On the 4th I took my mentor and bridge partner out for (what would have been) her 68th wedding anniversary. She is 90 and a joy to be around. After listening to her stories about her wedded life, and we noticed I was finished eating and she had hardly started. She said it was because she had done all the talking. Good for me... then oooops I realized I was telling her some story of mine. She's a true listener... perhaps that's one reason she's lived to be 90-!! This challenge is a good one....
Nickstar	well Well this is a hard one!!! Not going to talk about the things that happen to me as a kid!!!.....................................
St_Nick	way to go sirg thanks for the nudge.
sirg	Another Day Another Day, What a brilliant day, change is what were after improvement on our attitudes. So again today i give thanks as i will again create new pathways today, clear the clutter and rejoice in my forthcoming evolution. Thanks to you all. much love Fred
St_Nick	I just changed the my past section on my personal profile. it mentioned some stuff of my past... but I changed it to something more cheery
Doll	my challenge I am not going to speak about the negativeness of my family for this challenge. Not going to be easy but doable. Hugs Doll
St_Nick	you guys are gonna do great I am inspired by your enthusiasm... The three things I am not talking 1. my past as it pertains to my mom 2. my constant talk of my progress of how much weight I loss. ( I am running folks away) 3. and my stress over money... (especially these gas prices in America) Rachaels: we cannot change the past... and if dwelling on it prevents us from moving forward... I say move on. ;) Sirg... use your current crisis as a opportunity find solutions. I won't be surprised that by 30 days you won't be calling it a crisis... Nickstar: Yes, let's all get rid of those grudges. what would happen if you smile at your enemy. or pray (send them positive mental thoughts) for them... Zenda333: mistreatment... since we are no longer mistreating ourselves... we are only going to allow people in our lives who treat us with love and respect so there will be no mistreatments to talk about... Silver Eagle: I truly relate to your challenge... I have negative self talk all the time about my job, and my family. Gunny sacking I never knew that's what it was called. I am the Gunny Sacking queen. But no More... I now the "Honorable Let It Go... ray of Sunshine" I am still in awe of you all for joining this Challenge... we are going to be the most positive people on the planet by thirty days... Whew Hew
Rachaels	What was done in the past. . . . . . I'm not going to talk about, "What was done in the past was. . . . . . . ."
sirg	What a great challenge So here I go talking about my future rather than my past. My future will improve ten fold . How ill I accomplish this : 1. TOOLSTOLIFE - will assist me in changing my habits and beliefs. I will re-programme my sub concious.Through this i will change my belief in what I am able to accomplish and be. Everyday I will be posting to this challenge new beliefs which I am intending to imprint on my sub conciuos. Thank you St Nick in addition to this i will also not talk about about my current crisis. So St Nick for me today i can register a 1. much Love Fred
Nickstar	very good challenge Thanks stnick. 1. past grudges i have. no talk 30 days!
	OK MY famous one how I have been mistreated
Doll	great list! thanks for sharing this. Definitely has me thinking about mine so that I can be more specific.
Silver Eagle	Interesting Challenge So, if I don't make this written commitment, I won't follow through. Here is my list of topics in the past that I will NOT talk about again for, at least, 30 days: 1. How things used to be at work. (this is my greatest challenge) 2. Past grudges where I feel I've been mistreated or slighted in the past. 3. No "gunny sacking", you know all those little things you've stored up to dump on someone NEXT time they tick you off.
