In order to catch up to the rest of the challengers, I decided to read and summarize the first 7 days of the challenge. It should serve as an introductory overview for anyone else thinking of taking on the challenge.
What is the 100 Day Challenge? The mission of the 100 Day Challenge is to Inspire, to Promote and to Celebrate excellence. It was created by Gary Ryan Blair, famously known as the The Goals Guy. In Garys words, The 100 Day Challenge is a powerful results-oriented program that will challenge you to think and act better. Deciding to change your life and commit to your goals is the most important decision you can ever make for life success. Dreaming about your goals is not enough. Neither is watching the Television. Its only people who act on their goals who achieve any measure of success in life, not the wall flowers who just sit back and watch while others succeed around them. Here, is a brief overview of the first 7 Days of the 100 Day Challenge.
Orientation Day This is the big day of the challenge. There is a lot of material to cover in a number of recorded video and audio sessions, including:
Goal setting and the anatomy of a goal, The awesome power of boldness, How to make a quantum leap (and leapfrog over everyone else), Integrity and commitment, get your mojo working (get that fire in the belly ignited), and a Massive Action Plan based on the law of cause and effect (this is a downloadable PDF).
Inside the members area there also a forum to interact with the other challengers for support, as well as downloadable forms and software. I like the Accountability Clock and the Accountability Coach desktop applications; they are both great for reminding me to keep me on track.
There is also a really cool iPhone application called Everything Counts that includes 52 audio lessons that you can listen to on the train or when waiting in your idle moments. It helps make maximum use of your time. At the end of the orientation day I was able to clarify my top five goals in measurable terms with fixed deadlines. Just as important was identifying at least three Whys for each of my goals. Why we want to achieve a goal is just as important as the how to achieve it. Our Why, gives us the motivation and energy to achieve our goals. I was also able to list out five actions to take to achieve each goal. The rest of the 100 Day Challenge is designed to keep us accountable and committed to the goals we identified on the Orientation Day.
Day 1: Get Serious Grow Up Have you ever stopped to look in the mirror and decided to get serious about your life. All successful people have come to this stage at one point in their lives. Your behavior tells the world if youre serious or just playing around. Are you serious about your goals? Day 2: Boldness and Audacity Its the people who act with boldness who get the respect and help of others, not the wall flowers of life. Be willing to get out of your comfort zone and thrive under pressure. Take the risks. With great risk comes great reward. Day 3: Do It Now Adopt a sense of urgency in all that you do. Procrastination always leads to massive regret. TNT Today not tomorrow! Day 4: Success Loves Speed Leave your competition in your dust, by executing your goals with speed. Its stressful procrastinating, worrying about what you should be doing. The fast eat the slow Time is your ally when you take action Objects at rest have no momentum Day 5: The Power of Deadlines A task or a deadline will take as much time as you allow it to take, so set a completion time for every task. Deadlines enforce accountability, create a sense of urgency and represent a commitment to complete the task. Day 6: Discipline Your Behavior
Discipline is a daily habit. It requires consistency. Each act of self-discipline engaged in today moves us one step closer to our goals. If you do not learn to discipline yourself, you are sure to be disciplined by others.
Day 7: Results are Everything Your current results reflect what you believe about yourself. Remember what you did yesterday; did you like the results? If not, then change what you think, say and do today.
It is now the end of week two of the 100 Day Challenge. Each week I like to do a revision of what I have learned from the previous weeks lessons. I also like do a performance review of where I am at with respect to my goals.
Day 14 Say No
Say no to the activities that drain your energy or take you further away from your goals. Less television. Less internet surfing. Less high sugar foods. Read more: http://www.excitedbylife.com/blog/100daychallenge-week2/#ixzz2LobBKEh7
Well, I am now at the end of week three of The 100 Day Challenge. As a revision I like to go over the lessons I have learned in the previous week, and to do a performance review of where I am at with my goals. Currently, my weight loss goal is going well. I am happy to report I have lost 3 centimeters from my hips, chest/back and stomach combined since my last status report. My other goals are progressing, but will need some quantum leaping (see Day 21) to get them moving faster.
Well, the first month of the 100 Day Challenge has gone by, and so far it is working well. I have lost over 5 kg of weight since I have started. One thing I have learned is not to set too many goals for the challenge they need to be achievable. A couple of my other goals are lapsing a bit because I took on too much. I like to do a little summary of what I have learned from the previous week of the 100 Day Challenge. So, here is my summary for last week.
When you stretch your comfort zone (your reach) in any area of your life, you are reaching out and living a fuller, richer and more prosperous life.
We are now a third of the way through the 100 Day Challenge, and I am still on track with my weight loss goal. Each week, I like to do a summary of the previous weeks lessons to remind myself of what I have learned.
How do you feel when someone breaks a promise? Throughout each day of your life its important to understand that ALL unfinished goals, projects and relationships are the result of broken promises and agreements. ~ Gary Ryan Blair
I am now into the sixth week of the 100 Day Challenge and the daily lessons keep getting better and better. I am beginning to notice that a lot of the ideas from the previous weeks are working on my subconscious and changing some of my values in Life. Its a good thing . Without further ado here are my notes from the previous weeks lessons.
"Yes, we all get knocked down, but successful people know how to pick themselves back up." ~Gary Ryan Blair
I am now over half way through The 100 Day Challenge and already seeing the benefits. I am back on track with some non health related goals including learning Chinese and am very keen to re-do the challenge again at completion, with some extra new goals. Here are my notes for week seven. NOTE: These are just notes and a really not adequate in showing the benefits of joining the challenge..
We are now over half way mark now in the 100 Day Challenge. I am back on track with my language learning after a minor diversion. The daily talks from Gary help me persist with my goals especially when I am discouraged.
"We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world, that is why adversity must be viewed as an opportunity for disciplined patience." ~Gary Ryan Blair
This is my very brief summary of week nine of the 100 Day Challenge. Its mainly a collection of Garrys quotes from each lesson.
Here are a few quotes from Garry Ryan Blair that I really appreciated, from week 10 of the 100 day challenge. Its great to have these daily lessons to keep me on track with my goals.
"Large goals and overwhelming tasks are only intimidating when you look at them in totality." ~ Garry Ryan Blair
Its now week eleven in the 100 day challenge. Here are are few notes I took from this weeks lessons along with some inspirational quotes from Garry Ryan Blair.
The suffering cost of failure is always higher than the suffering price for success. ~Gary Ryan Blair
Its nearing the end of the year and the end of the challenge. I must admit, wit h the rush of Christmas coming up I fell behind in the challenge. I am back on track now. Enjoy some of my favorite quotes from week twelve of the challenge.
This week I especially liked the lesson on Day 86 and the quote from Albert Einstein.
The final week of the 100 day challenge. This has been a journey and an adventure and one I plan to continue in the coming year. The daily lessons have helped spur me on with my Life
goals like a virtual life coach. It has not been easy and at times but in the end the journey was worth more than the final destination, in terms of character building and discipline.
