Who here has heard of this? Its an amazingly simple 7 day system for increasing positive, empowering thoughts. If you've never read it I have typed the entire thing on my blog here

Build Your Life To Order ™ » Blog Archive » Change Your Life In 7 Days (7 Day Mental Diet)

The reason I am asking is that I am about to embark on it and I would love others to join me on this challenge at the same time and share our experiences. Please read it if you never have before (It's by Emmet Fox)

bylto-

I'll give it a shot. I think it would be foolishly optimistic as a long-term strategy, but a week to change your predominant habit can't hurt.

When do you want to start?

bylto · 01-13-2007, 08:36 AM

Hi ahimel, I am looking at least 10 people in total before we start, so 8 to go. I am creating a group at the moment where we can record our experiences and help each other out. I'll let you know when it's up. I'll also post on my blog today asking for volunteers. Could you please send me a wee email to let me know your email address as I need a way to track who is involved. You don't need to write anything in the body of the message, just put '7 day mental diet' in the subject box. email mark@buildyourlifetoorder.com

Thanks for your cooperation. Any other takers? It'll be fun.

bylto · 01-13-2007, 09:39 AM

Joy to you

Flying Man, go to bylto : Build Your Life To Order to share your experiences with the rest of us. At the moment it looks like we'll be starting on Wednesday 17/01/07. Until then, we will be sharing ideas on how to stay positive for 7 straight days. Will you send me an email from my contact form just put '7 day mental diet' in the subject line. This is just how I am keeping track of participants. Glad you're on board!

okay, I'm in. I tried to do "no complaining" for Lent last year, and that didn't go very well, but this is much better because it also gets rid of the mental complaining, which is a bigger problem methinks. already sent in my form

just don't expect me to check in every day, sometimes I am away from the computer for a few days at a time.

bylto · 01-15-2007, 05:36 AM

Lauxa, welcome. Got your email. We should be starting on Wednesday the 17th. Please join bylto : Build Your Life To Order .There are 7 of us now including myself so if anyone else is interested, please let me know.

JJH · 01-15-2007, 10:39 AM

Sounds fantastic, but what about the last paragraph? I'm going it alone as suggested, and will post after the week.

Happy thinking everyone!

harmonica · 01-15-2007, 01:25 PM

Your challenge sounds great. I'd love to join.

bylto · 01-15-2007, 03:56 PM

Good JJH, what is it about the last paragraph? Harmonica, did you send me an email and join the group? Welcome guys!

bylto · 01-15-2007, 04:11 PM

Oh I just read the last paragraph again JJH. I think it's different when the other people are half way across the world. If you tell people locally it heaps pressure on you when you are around them and others might even try to put you off intentionally. This method brings the encouragement needed without any added pressure.
