Celebrating Freedom My 10 Day Blog Challenge Experience

This blog post is in response to Natalie’s 10 Day Freedom Plan Blog Challenge Day 10

This is the last post of this challenge and Natalie has invited us to "think back to the journey you’ve been on in the last 10 days. I encourage you to read through all your posts to celebrate all that you’ve written, learned and experienced as part of this daily blog challenge. And in today’s blog post, I want you to write about:

• What you enjoyed most about your experience of taking part in the blog challenge
• Your favorite challenge day and why
• The biggest takeaway you’ve had from it
• The next step you’re going to take to make your freedom plan a reality"

I must say when I felt to do this challenge I really didn't think there would be much in it for me. This is why i just let go and let "Life", because doing this challenge was the perfect thing at the perfect time.

The Journey

Challenge Day 1 - The Challenge Of Freedom - I realised my challenge was not really about obtaining freedom, it's about what I do now I have it!
Challenge Day 2 - The "Y" Of My International House Pet Sitting Lifestyle - This is where it struck me that my inspiration comes from the "Y", and my freedom lifestyle "Y" starts with "To inspire people to trust and appreciate life so that they may change their minds about the world."
Challenge Day 3 - Freedom Day - The Perfect Day - I came to understand that a vision of my perfect day is more of a constant attitude or mindset, rather than a location, place or experience.
Challenge Day 4 - My Freedom Lifestyle Superpowers - I learnt to value change, adaptability, intuition and guidance, and how they will play their part in expressing my "Y".
Challenge Day 5 - My Daily Success Plan To Expand Freedom - I can now see how some structure can be very inspiring to my free flowing lifestyle, and in expressing and extending my "Y".
Challenge Day 6 - Finding My Trust Tribe - I realised the importance of finding and collaborating with a tribe that shares my values of Trust and Appreciation in life.
Challenge Day 7 - Beating Procrastination and Overwhelm - I realised that in beating procrastination and overwhelm I had to feel the imperfection and do it anyway.
Challenge Day 8 - My Freedom Adventure - This showed me that sharing an adventure with others just enhances the joy.
Challenge Day 9 - My Location Independent Lifestyle - I shared the importance of me allowing "Life" to balance and guide my work and  adventure.

The experience

This challenge gave me the excuse to examine and reflect on my current lifestyle. I loved the way the challenge structure took me on a journey of rediscovering "Y" I live the life I do, how to move forward and what tools to use.

I enjoyed and resonated with so many other posts written by people with similar mindsets, and they inspired to keep on keeping on. This freedom tribe also showed me the importance of others and collaboration, a lesson I will use as I expand my freedom lifestyle.

Mostly I just enjoyed the journey, and the experience of the gradual revealing of what it takes to not only live a freedom lifestyle, but to also to be in the Joy of it.

The Favourite

My favourite challenge day was two - The "Y" Of My International House Pet Sitting Lifestyle. Actually revealing and defining "Y" I live like I do provided the inspiration and new ideas that had been missing for some time. I had never intentionally done this exercise before and I found real value in it.

The Takeaway

My biggest takeaway from this challenge! Well that is easy commitment, focus and consistency. This particular challenge came at a busy time of traveling, new locations, new properties and new experiences.

It was through making a commitment, focusing on my MIA's and consistently blogging that I was not only able to finish the challenge but reap the value from it.

The Next Step

Find and collaborate with a tribe of like minded souls who share my values of Trust and Appreciation of Life.

The End and Thankyou

This is the end of the challenge but not the end and I look forward to all that is to come . Additionally I wanted to say thank you to @nataliesisson and those who took part in the challenge, I appreciate your efforts and am inspired by you all.

​As always feel free to express you thoughts and feelings in the comments below.

Just Liven what's Given

Cheers
