I'm slipping!

Hey guys,

Its been 22 days since UPW and I am stoked that I have kept such a high for this amount of time. We took the 10 day challenge and we more than doubled it.

That being said, as most of you know I am currently living with my parents. Late last week they decided to corner me and UNLOAD on me. I won’t get into the details but they basically were putting down all of the new habits and beliefs I had built at UPW and also a lot of my goals and desires.

Since then I have been slipping. I have been doing my hour of power every day. This starts off my day on a super high. I get in my greens for breakfast, oils, water and I’m stoked. But then when it comes to getting work done towards my goals I don’t seem to be stoked about it like I used to be a few days earlier.

I know that only I can change it but I believe that a big part of me slipping the last few days is due to my parents imposing negitive bullshit onto me. The old adage is that sticks and stones will break my bones but words can never hurt me…. I’m sure that we can all agree that this isn’t 100% true with parents.
They seem to have emotional power over me that can be held back at first but whatever they criticize me on always seems to come back to haunt me soon after.

I have made the decision to move back into my apartment by the end of December. As Tony says, “Love your family but choose who you spend your time with”.

More importantly though, I think that getting in person support would have helped kept me on track with this. The same goes for all of us.

We have been conditioned over the last 20 years to think the way society wants us to think. We are surrounded by people every day that think this way and force their opinions and beliefs on us consciously and subconsciously. These two types of conditioning are effective. Its natural that we will slip a little…

The thing that would help us stay on track a lot more would be to get our IN PERSON peer group started on weekly or bi-montly meetings.

What days / nights are your free later this week? When are you free most weeks?

Jerin, Patrick, Stefan, Cheyenne and I have all voiced a need for this. Lets make it happen!
