I am slowly putting it in place. I am taking the time to tweak it so I find my best fit before commiting to it fully. I imagine I will have it ironed out by the end of the month.
Despite never wishing it on anyone I realise the slowness and steadiness of my situation is an opportunity.
As for your question, I managed a few days with no criticism, which is pretty good but had a minor slip at the weekend so I am back to zero.Haha. it will be a long three weeks!!! Ha ha
My intention is not absolutely to achieve 100% no criticism but to minimize it, be aware when it occurs and mainly to ensure my mind is not stuck in criticising/negative thinking.
Dan Lefave has a good podcast and other info that I like and is coherent with my thinking behind my approach, if anyone wants more info.
Don't worry I am not just sitting around mulling over this, I am taking appropriate actions to. I organised a two hour mountain bike ride with friends to be followed by a party at the house next weekend. I am signed up for a half Marathon in the mountains on mountain bike tracks on June as well as committed to at least three other sporting events. I have accompanied my kids on various school outings. All and all I am packing more and more into my life.
Got to go.
Best wishes everyone
