Expectations & Commitment - Setting Myself Up For Success

Now I am clearer on my challenge my next step is to look realistically at the commitment required and my expectations. Going in with this clearly in mind makes a huge difference in the outcome of any project, goal or intention.

Questions to ponder (from my program "Breaking Thru Your Invisible Barrier to Success":

1. Do you have the physical time to complete this program? Are your prepared to make it
   a priority for the next 100 days? Why now? The program will be a wonderful opportunity for me to rework my time, particularly my nigh times. I will be using time I already have but in a more positive way so I do not need extra time. I love the support of the 100 day challenge as well as of course the accountability so the timing it perfect for me to take advantage of this. Another factor is my desire to deepen my spiritual practice and shift some undesirable habits before I turn 40 this year. I feel I have been preparing for this for a long time and am now ready to live the last act of this chapter of my life.
2. What sacrifices might you have to make in order to get the most out of this
   opportunity? Are you ready to make them? I will have to sacrifice taking the easy way out, old habits, time on the couch watching TV.
3. Have you considered how you will approach the program (time of day, how much time
   per day, expectations? The support calls are weekdays at 8 PM so I will be spending 7:30 - 8:30 PM most evenings unless I have plans outside the house or am working with a client. At least 3 nights per week will be spent on it. Friday and Saturday will be different. I will be outlining them once I get into the specifics of my challenge but I think it would be fun to focus those night and at least 2 total per week around indulgent evening with Kirk. I will also be blogging each day around the challenge from 7 - 7:30 AM. I will also spend 1 hour each weekend working on Personal Foundation to clarify my indulgences, needs, wants, values, habits and to solidify my foundation.
4. Where can you draw support, strength and positive energy from to help you through
   the program? The support calls, friends whom I will be including by indulging with them - perhaps setting up at least 1 night of indulgence per week with a friend. My coach, Kirk of course and anyone who is tagging along on my journey via the blog. Rev Kusula, Rev Shanti and temple.
5. What are your personal expectations, desired benefits, and outcomes you hope to
   achieve by completing this program?
