EleanorBE's Monday List

EleanorBE - 5 Nov 2012 - 12:46pm

Thanks movingalong. I love candles. In fact I think I'll go and light one.

Well, I don't really have a list for today because I've just been ploughing ahead with the end of the book right through the weekend and today. But it's feeling like it's time to check in anyway. 

I started work at 6.30 today, did some writing before breakfast so that a chapter was ready to go to my partner for proofing. Then I ploughed through the next chapter all day long, and see that there's still a scary amount of work to do on the end of it. Will stop now and think about breaking it all down a bit for tomorrow. 

E.BE.

wow... what a burst of posts yesterday about bursting in the chat room ;^)

was that a distraction to read those? i didnt read all, read some and browsed.

everybody loves each other here, so we're gonna be fine! :D

personally i like separate chat rooms. but i can adapt to any of the suggestions, so it's a no-op for me personally. I am passionate about EVERYONE being able to recover here. Everyone!

i came to post something meaningful to me from my quiet time:

"For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh." - 2 Corinthians 10:3

this is a great reminder to me to depend on God, not my own abilities. But i am addicted to depending on my own abilities.

But here's another great one:

"For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds." - 2 Corinthians 10:4

Isn't that exactly why i'm in PA? To receive / lay claim to that divine power to demolish strongholds? My demand resistance and avoidance and escapism all sound like strongholds in my mind to me, and they need divine power to be demolished.

Just when, oh when, will i finally give up and really, truly, constantly depend on God?!

Show up (done), cal, exr

Thanks Moving for starter. For me, I believed Step 2 "before" I was in program, what happened in the rooms was I came to believe he could restore "me" to sanity, "AND WANTED TO"....THAT WAS MY HURDLE. I crossed after working the rest of the steps, and 10,11,12 one day at a time. Best cap rate ever- out of this world.!!!!

Wolke check in 5nov

Wolke - 5 Nov 2012 - 6:09am

Thank you for the beautiful opening, Moving.

Main tasks for me:

- Shorten methodology to max 1000w  [3 pomos]
    - highlight important bits, get rid of unnecessary blabbering in between them.
- Write about my conceptual framework [6 pomos]
    - Check if it would help my data analysis presentation [1 pomo]

- Get feedback on that from supervisor.  [1 pomo]

They usually end up taking longer, so will later write how long it actually took.

Good progress to all and solidarity.

You can do it, Yes you can!

Progress report

Sunny-Cal Frances - 5 Nov 2012 - 12:13pm

HI All

 

It is now 19:08. I have done 10 x 25 mins of intensive work. still plenty more to do. Iam behind - the deadline was yesterday- but I believe if I keep on going I can have it done tonight. If not tomorow midday is my ultimate deadline. Still have diagrams to do do, and lots to write. I think I need to have a breakthrough, to stop working the way I am, and start working another way, maybe, I am not connecting well with hp and not having right motivation. i am worried that my work will be too . rough.. whatvcan I do about it.. well there is something I want to express through this writing, and if i allow myelf to express it in service of hp.. maybe it will be worth expressing.. I hope so.. my motivation is that this work will make a difference .. right motivatin is important for me otherwise what is the point of being here.. away from family.. in this far away country... for years.. time for me to be very active and responsible and focused and trusting in my abilities and in hp abilities.. hp will be done not mine.
