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

Brucep	This will be tough I have talked about my past me entire life, I need to let go of being a victim.
Silver Eagle	2 perspectives It has become much clearer to me, in trying not to talk about the past, that there are truly two kinds of talk. The positive kind where you are sharing things you've done, learned, enjoyed, etc. and then there is the whining. Well sometimes I enjoyed both, but I'm finding it much easier to avoid the whining. I think some positive discussion about the past is fine, but I know I have in the past spent too much time in that area to. I will say that not talking about the past at all has brought more focus on the present. That focus has been very good.
Nickstar	MMMM Gee its been hard but have been going good until i had someone ask me about my past, nilly talked but i stopped me myself just in time not to start or i would fail myself.
St_Nick	I am sorry you guys I should have made a post on this page to let you all know that I would have limited online access while on vaation... here is an excerpt from a blog I posted befroe I left. I will see you all Monday Anyway I just thought I would let the TTL family know that I (will be taking another week off from tools) ... I am going to visit my Dad who is ill with prostate cancer, fibromyalgia, and carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrist... I am going to take my tools notes and check list but I will check myself away from the computer for the time while I am away.... I need some time to think... i will keep up with most of my challenges working out saving money reading SYBD Remembering GOD Not talking about my past drinking water even decluttering and situps (PUJA have you set it up yet?) but I won't be able to document them until I return home... but I will I won't be able to BOOST, but there are enough folk on the Boost squad that you will not even notice that I am gone. ;) I just thought I let you all know so you don't have to worry about nudging me... I love you guys... Thanks for reading my Blog
Puja	Guys Just dropped into say hello How are you doing. While Nichole is away and just making sure you guys are doing great. It is an awesome challenge to be part of. Whenever I want to feel great I listen to music. This song makes me feel great and I thought I will post it here for you to enjoy and keep going. Feel GREAT :)
Dukefrukem	.... im not doing well
so2u	Going out of town for a day Hope I can keep my mouth shut-!!
zenda333	Fell off the wagon Day 12 spent 15 minutes dwelling on the past then thought of the challenge and put an end to it which was great. No wondering down dark roads.
SButterfly	Excited over the next 30 days! I'm looking forward to this challenge. I'm not sure if I can do it, but I'm certainly going to try! Butterfly
Doll	Great challenge This is tough too! What I'm finding is that I'm not talking about my past stuff but I am thinking about it just as much. UG!!! Need to work on this! Doll
so2u	Talked with a Tools friend and on came the stories...
zenda333	I thought about past mistreatment today For about 15 minutes before I remembered the challenge and cut it off. This is a great challenge.(normally I would have gotten into it.
zenda333	I am to busy for the past
so2u	Being in the present... Doing Tools and this challenge helps me stay in the moment, listen better and be more concerned about what is important to others people's lives... it really feels good,
St_Nick	ooh I am having a rough time with this... i did journalize my thought about my past... and shed a few tears... I feel better today... tomorrow is a new day
zenda333	I have not thought of the past Since this challenge started. I think the trick is to have other thing to do and concentrate on them.
St_Nick	Hey every1 Hey You all! I am infromaing you all ... I am going out of for ten days...and I will not be logging in. I will keep record of my silince and will record them when I return. I will miss you all Good for you Newjet... I can't wait to get there... i am very proud of you. I was telling a friend of mine how I replay bad scripts in my mind her reply: "oh you poor thing" there's hope for me....
NewIjit	Nudges Thanks for the nudges, but I'm really unsure about how to quantify not talking about my past. I've been really good and haven't talked about any old grudges or wrongs in my life.
Nickstar	hi well i need to try to move forward so to try and forgive all the people who did me wrong and the mistakes ( there is a few))
Dukefrukem	:) thanks for the nudge St Nick, but i haven't been doing a very good job about not talking about my past...
