WEEK 1 POST 1

Welcome to Q4, 2015 -- The 90 Day "Power Thinking" Challenge

715 - 815 tonight's hourly goal.  (Finished around 10:15, so... 2-3 hours I guess.)

Power Thoughts Box

Need 10 a day (non-word, however essential to being a 5-6 & hitting 70+ calls)
"Any time you pushed a little harder to lay a little more stone."

The POINT is to call forward thoughts that are helpful throughout the day, to ask myself "what thoughts would be helpful to me right now?" several times a day and apply them successfully.  These will often be "replacements", but don't need to be -- this box respects any increase in size.

Examples of what could go in the box:

-Catch and REPLACE (replace is the stone.)
-1up and actual achievement associated with size increase (for instance, calling w/out delay to 1up a regular 10 second delay.. and another when you start stacking the behavior to develop the "large size" habit of always calling without delay.)
-"Keeping it going" 1-up or extended replace, stacking size achievements.
-ANYTHING where stone was laid and size is increasing ACTIVELY (as long as you put in effort and overcame a restraint or troll and achieved some real objective as a result.)

Instead of focusing on just replacements, focusing on driving 10 "power thoughts" a day and keeping tabs on my size will set the focus on becoming more powerful, which is my goal.

 "Getting DEEP passed the 50", if you will, REQUIRES power thinking -- "catching trolls" only helps remove small size behaviors, it doesn't build large size behaviors and habits.

YOU NEED TO BUILD "LARGE SIZE" BEHAVIORS AND HABITS.

If you want to be able to have days where you are a 6, you need to get good at developing the behaviors of a 6.

I know you've struggled.  I know you've failed to implement the "stone building" well.  However, I KNOW this can be done, I've seen you mark 10+ and hit 5.75 RECENTLY doing exactly this.  I know you can do this 3 or 4 out of 5 days a week.  I know you will continue to fail, but I am interested in turning these failures into successes, more and more, ever increasing until I have grown in size.  And I will continue trying to be a 5 until I succeed... doesn't matter how many times I fail.
