10 Day Mental Diet

The 10 Day Mental Diet Challenge – Day 9

February 28, 2015 by Aaron Graves

Day 9 of the mental diet challenge. Total fail. This morning I read my email, to discover something that totally sends me over the edge. Now, granted, I wasn’t exactly mindful of my state at the time, and when I did become aware of it, I changed it. But none the less, this negativity lasted …

The 10 Day Mental Diet Challenge – Day 8

February 26, 2015 by Aaron Graves

I’ve survived day 8 of the mental diet challenge. Though I still have concerns about just exactly how much attention I’m paying to my mind states, I did not experience any times where I dwelt in the negative. Overall, I had quite a bit of positive today! I was able to meet with one of …

The 10 Day Mental Diet Challenge – Day 7

February 26, 2015February 25, 2015 by Aaron Graves

Day 7 update of the mental diet challenge. All in all, a pretty good day. As I mentioned in the previous day’s update, I resolved to be more mindful of my states, to see if there was something I was missing. And I can honestly say that I didn’t see anything to be concerned about. …

The 10 Day Mental Diet Challenge – Day 6

February 25, 2015February 25, 2015 by Aaron Graves

I didn’t post yesterday about how day 6 went for me (of the mental diet challenge, of course). I’ve got a very good explanation for that! You see, Monday I came down with a cold. And Tuesday, it worsened to a fever and aches. So I decided the best thing for me would be to …

The 10 Day Mental Diet Challenge – Day 5

February 23, 2015 by Aaron Graves

Day 5 of the mental diet challenge went well today, I’m pleased to say! I’m still a bit skeptical though, it seems almost too easy. I have to be missing something throughout the day. On a side note, I’m coming down with a cold (thanks to my lovely daughter). And I found out something interesting; …

The 10 Day Mental Diet Challenge – Day 4

February 23, 2015 by Aaron Graves

It’s day 4 of the 10 day mental diet challenge. Well, technically now, it’s day 5. But yesterday was day 4. And I passed again. I’m actually beginning to wonder if I’m missing something. This has suddenly become very easy, and it’s making me a little suspicious. Now that I’ve said that, I’ve likely jinxed …

The 10 Day Mental Diet Challenge – Day 3

February 23, 2015February 21, 2015 by Aaron Graves

Day three of the 10 day mental diet challenge is in the books. Today I’ve noticed several opportunities to engage in negative thoughts, and was (thankfully) mindful enough to notice what was happening, and make a conscious shift to a new state. Now, the method I’m using to shift may not be the best (I’ll …

The 10 Day Mental Diet Challenge – Day 2

February 21, 2015 by Aaron Graves

So I’ve completed day 2 of the 10 day mental diet challenge. Yes, that’s right. Completed. I don’t even recall a time where it was close today. No prolonged negative mindsets. Actually, none at all.

February 19, 2015 by Aaron Graves

Alright, so today is take 2 of day 1 in the 10 day mental diet challenge. How did I do? Well, let’s just say that my second attempt at day one went much better. I’m happy to say, there will be a day 2 tomorrow! Now I’ll admit, it got a little hairy today. We …

The 10 Day Mental Diet Challenge – Day 1

February 18, 2015 by Aaron Graves

As I wrote in the intro, I’m chronicling my journey on the 10 day mental diet challenge. Today was day 1. The result? I totally failed. Well, I shouldn’t say totally. I actually made it almost the entire day. Then I’m driving home from work, it’s almost 10pm (I had my team meeting tonight, and …
