Do things at your own pace,silly.

I think going through the lessons to absorb what you can and do your best is key. Do not put yourself down for not completing everything. Those things are brought to your attention to be worked on.

I do not even have a printer but I still try to go day by day learning what I can about myself. I plan on going through this many times because I know my perception will change and new information will pop out.

Just work on feeling good and put the effort in but DO NOT PUT YOURSELF DOWN or feel like a failure if you don't get to everything.

PLEASE PLEASE do not quit!!!!! Be more light hearted about this. I even have a reading issue(mild dyslexia)I guess you would call it.  My mind has to really work at reading the words correctly and then comprehend what I have tried so hard to read.  At the beginning of each lesson I have to assure myself that I am doing my best even if it takes much longer than it should.

I am growing daily and can not explain how important it is that you stick with it, with me.

You are my friend and I want the best for you so do not give up on yourself,silly woman!

LOVE AND LIGHT-SAHNDRA 

You can do it, keep going!

Sending you lots of love

me too

I have finished day 25 and I am doing great but I have not been keeping up with the checklist like I should. You will find it easier to complete some tasks and the others take a little time to sink in. But if you read your checklist everyday it will get easier and it helps soooo much.

Wordbird:

Make it your life habit

I agree!

Your checklist is important to bringing about those small step daily changes and you know that, by what you wrote. Some people print it out and carry it with them, pin it on a wall or otherwise create something that really sticks with them. 

It should happen that as you keep doing these same small steps every single day, they become habits, little routines, that you stop having to think about. You just do them. Try choosing a few and do them exactly the same every day, until you do them automatically. 

Eventually Coach provides some new approaches to the list. Not far ahead.

Hey there

First of all, you are doing really great...after all, the most important step to avoid falling behind is to take or ask for help whenever you need it.

It sounds as though you are trying to do too many things at once...in other words, you may be expecting to be able to work on multiple areas of your life at once or you may be aiming for a very huge overwhelming goal every day.  Remember, it is much easier to take baby steps every day (rather than attempt to take huge strides and risk getting stuck).

Tools is also a program which pushes us to keep growing in multiple areas and it can get harder to keep track of all of them without falling behind in one.  One strategy is to continue doing your current checklist items everyday till you get comfortable with them and then progress onto the next day.  By then, some of the checklist items would have become second-nature to you.  That's exactly why  the program is designed to be self-paced...you can progress ahead at your own pace.  

If you get time today, print out the list of the checklist items you have so far. Divide them into categories, easy ones, hard but achievable and very hard ones.  Probably you may find that the early morning wake up and night checklist items are easier, but the ones to be done during the day are slightly harder to do.  Also if you can batch up some of the checklist items together, that makes them easier to keep track of. Identify which among the checklist items are notoriously hard to do, and look for specific help in that area. Or you can open up a Tools challenge. for instance, many of us have participated in challenges involving drinking water daily, positive thinking, gratitudes & affirmations, daily stretching or physical activity, etc. etc. Once you highlight your checklist items and identify what challenges you are facing with some of them, you are halfway close to solving them. A note of caution: if you rarely drink water or stretch daily, do not aim for 8 glasses of water & 30 min stretching everyday...instead do it in smaller, incremental daily doses making them more manageable. 

And before long you will be progressing to the next day...who knows you will be even empowered to share some of the tips that worked with other toolers who may be struggling with the same area
