    This just gets better and better! Sex and road trips? Throw in some great music and tapioca puddin' and it is a party! Thanks everyone for participating.

    PS. I've been catching myself slipping into being critical and cynical while watching TV. I may have to abandon the TV until the challenge is over...

    Not so sure I want to do this challenge. Where would I be without my negativity?

    I'd love to see who feels up to the challenge and hear about your stories after the spiritual throw-down is completed.

    Any takers?
    Sounds pretty wouldn't it be better to instead of fleeing from reality, to take the challenge and turn it into something positive? Or is that the next step?

    Such as Step one, step back and view the situation in a positive way, step two share that positive view with others?

    I wouldn't say they are really tests, but it seems like the closer one gets to the Know ledge (where one can jump off and fly or fall), the quicker "karma" seems to come around saying prove it. If you don't prove it, then the card just goes to the back of the deck. We all know that last card will have us pulling our hair our, same thing over and over...lol

    Its a good challenge, having a positive view can only help, otherwise ones mind becomes less flexible and easily pulled...lol

    This means, I have already done this, or are you looking for an group to do it simutaniously? In truth, my time lasted about a week, the walls of reality started to break down, the ground rippled slowly like water, nothing was still, everything lived. Its a nice world, but I live in reality for a reason, so to dismiss it totally would be to dismiss my intentions of being here. Thats just my opinion though Like I said, good challenge.

    Only to yourself, give yourself another chance, you deserve it and the negativity push can be strong at times. I know.

    Oh crap, I just started reading this thread and I have already lost.

    I am very aware of my emotions, as I have been working at turning them
    towards the positive.

    Good luck all

    Oh my intrepid participants, please don't feel bad if you notice you were negative. The challenge was to ignore the negative thoughts and avoid negative talk. Its out there and it happens. The beauty of this trial is to use the mental ignore button in your mind; to take your attention off what is negative and plop in it on something that makes you smile instead.

    Yesterday my poison sumac rash was painful and I wanted to be crabby. In an effort to distract myself from the pain I watched some TV. The news painted a picture of health care disaster and it intensified my irritation. OOOps!! I noticed my mood and my overwhelming desire to be snippy and so I shut off the TV, pet the dog and ate a piece of chocolate. All better! One positive effect is my blood pressure is very low. Carry on my darlings.
