The ORIGINAL Drink your Food challenge

[Sophie]

we'll use this area here to post information, feedback, requests for support in the original drink your food challenge

My WHY: If I'm going to find out what I have to contribute and be all that I can be, I will need to be around and have the energy to do the work. I will need good health, and I will need to become the one who calls the shots. I'm doing this to be on the side of life and health and to be the boss of my eating by being present while I eat. I'm also curious to see what the experience will be like.

My WHO: I want to be well, and to become the one who calls the shot. I'm up to learning what it feels like to be present, and to be able to tell when I'm not present, all in the interest of becoming a contribution and all that I can be.

1. Why I want to do the challenge- I would like to reclaim my power as being the boss in my life. The goal is for me to be an effective and efficient person who participates by consciously doing things with awareness, attention, and intention.
2. Who I am going to be in the challenge- I will be open to new ideas and information and will immerse myself in the challenge. I will be earnest, honest, and present with myself and what I experience.

Julia, you may want to re-study the way a WHO is formatted. As a declaration. It's not bad, but it's weak in the current format... Just replace the 'I will be' with 'my attitude is'

Jodie, please read what I answered Julia... and follow the format. I want to, I am up to... all weak forms... not a declaration

[Jodie]

Who I am is that I can learn to slow down and be present, not always looking to the next thing...My attitude is that I am the boss, the one who calls the shot, and who can distinguish when I'm present and when I'm not. Just learning to be the 'boss' of my eating will allow me to become someone who is on the side of life and health and becoming a contribution to others. I can and will do it, and when I fail my attitude is that I'll learn from the failure and grow from there.

Very nice Jodie. Thank you

[Jpercy8]

Who I am is that I am open to new ideas and information. I immerse myself in the challenge. I am earnest, honest, and present with myself and what I experience. When I fail my attitude is that I notice it, but not judge it, and move on, and I correct the action (chew the next bite thoroughly). I declare that I am capable and I do what it takes to complete the steps in this challenge.

[Sophie]

set up a really high ideal... just make sure you don't judge yourself when you fall short.

Hi Everyone!
In Polish, my mother language, attitude is also related to body posture. So in this challenge I am going to sit up straight while chewing my food And be straight with myself.
My attitude is:
I am bold enough to be healthy.
I am bold enough to be free.

It is not easy for me to formulate my attitude in English because I sometimes don't feel the word.
I was thinking about using the word 'courageous' instead of 'bold', because it derives from Latin 'cor' which means 'heart'. Then I am also open hearted and wholehearted.
