• +7 Fearless Living Points

Thanks Rhonda for giving us Fearless Living Boot Camp. Amazing leap in my life!!

Here are my 3 acknowledgements:

1. I acknowledge myself to saying 'no thank you to fear' and take commitment to my painting by renting space at my Artist studio & join their community of Resident Artists, when the opportunity came up. I have been struggling to make this happen since I was made redundant from my office job a few years ago & wanted to turn my long-time hobby of painting into something more serious, mainly driven by my desire to paint my country of origin (Madagascar).

2. I acknowledge myself for singing every morning with one chosen song to sing along while preparing my first cup of tea and creating a habit of this. This seems to really have an impact in mood shifting and get jolly for the day.

3. I acknowledge myself for realizing and applying the need to tell myself absolutely the truth & share with myself at a deeper level my emotions. This is fearless because I can apply Rhonda's message: Intention not Mood. After I spend (limited) pity time, I can replace the heavy shadow of sadness or whatever else with the magic veil of Intention and think FORWARD. Thanks Rhonda, this is way above everything I have learned to transcend my fears and start living the life I choose to live, and not the fear choosing for me. Still a long way to go but it's a beginning.

Thank you everyone for sharing such an amazing time together & best of luck everyone. Cheers Rhonda :) :)

Today's challenge: Find an accountability buddy to continue with our stretches, risk & die and be accountable. One of my goal is to get out of my comfort zone and reach out to more friends as a way to stop isolating myself so much. So this could be a good challenge to move forward from a die and doing more fun things with my friends & lightening up is in itself making myself more accountable to myself for this goal. I have an accountability buddy for my other goal of commitment with my painting, to make it like a job so putting in the hours & the focus. I am amazed it's already been 28 days, but it feels like even much more than that with all the challenges.

Today's challenge: Intention not mood! I need this sooo much today as I couldn't get going. I said to myself maybe I caught some bugs while going swimming yesterday. I took some paracetamol & rested a bit & re-listened to Rhonda's posting. So my intention is to keep focused on my painting but part of that is to keep my environment tidy & in order. Felt so much better after sorting out canvases, paint materials, sketch books, deee-clutttttteerrrr: get rid of old stuff. Thanks Rhonda I couldn't have done it on my own.
