I'm beginning to see that which I can do every day and that which I'm not all too crazy with and that which I want to replace on my list.
For instance, I have decided to actively play with Smokie for 30 minutes 5x a week rather than have a deep relaxation period 10 minutes per day. Morning Pages I'm not all too crazy about because I've never been able to get to writing the first thing in the morning, and I feel if that's "one of the rules" of doing Morning Pages I'd rather not. There's a lot of writing that I put on my list to accomplish every day and that is definitely going to change.
I want to succeed with a 101 list, but I don't want to get into it knowing I'm not going to accomplish it. It's not because I doubt myself, it's because I know myself. I know that if I'm not excited about something I won't follow through. And as I learn more about myself the more the list will evolve, of this I am sure
"To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." ~ Anatole France

I think that it's really important to identify those things that aren't going to work.
I have been feeling that way about some of my reading goals. I LOVE to read, but the reality is that I don't have the time to read 100 books over the course of this challenge in addition to grad school and work. Initially, I felt really guilty about wanting to alter this goal, but then I realized that it was all about me growing anyway.... if it doesn't feel good and I don't want to do it. I am not going to :) I have had to give myself permission to change and know that it is not failure.
Hope that all is well in your world.
