30 Days to Condition in a New Habit

It’s a full moon tonight so this makes a perfect time to start this spiritual and discipline challenge.

The original 30 day programme – moon style, nature’s personal development plan. We hear about 30 day challenge’s all the time, so what so special about this number, one minute search results says…

well,

NASA scientist did an experiment on a group of astronaut, basically they asked them to wear concave glass’s for a 30 days.  Concave glasses invert your vision so everything you see is upside down. The scientist were surprised to see that their brains had flipped the image back up, what they concluded is that after 30 days the brain had rewired its self.

30 Days of Meditations Moon Style

Is meditation to fill up your cup or is it to empty it?  I think emptying your cup is to settle the mind. Filling the cup is to immerse yourself in mental activities, visualisation and thought exercises are good examples. It’s your choice, anyway topping up on your mediation does wonders. Consider meditation as your time to settle the mind and reinforce your vision.

Their are many benefits in taking 5 – 10 mins out to meditate. A meditation practice does wonder for self awareness, and emotions, it’s a great time to listen to the mind and tune into your inner space.  Try  meditation out for 30 days and see how you feel.

The 30 Day Phenomenon

The ancients knew there was some connection between the moon and you. This may explain why many religious and spiritual systems used 30 day time periods, such as Islam’s 30 day of Ramadan, muslims have 30 days of  fasting and prayer.  Personal development guru’s are always throwing around this 30 day number, 30 day of power, 30 day goal accomplishment, 30 days to success, 30 days to do this, 30 day to do that, 30 days to get a cat.

30 Day Personal Challenge

In my opinion Steve Palvina is the king of the 30 day challenge’s.  Mr Pavlina says its a good discipline exercise and an  opportunity to try out something new. Steve also says after 30 day if you don’t like it, you can go back to normal, if you like it keep it. This is a great philosophy, because it’s a win win situation, giving yourself the freedom to pull out after 30 days which takes away some of the apprehension about making a permanent change, you also win because you get to build some discipline Muscles over this 30 day period.

Here’s an Example, a smoker can choose to quit smoking for a month, you could go on a diet, you may decide to take up judo, you could meditate everyday, you may choose to walk instead of taking the bus. There are some great benefits to this approach. If you decide  to give yourself a break after 30 day you should feel a sense of growth and renewal. It’s also good because the discipline that you gather will synergistically infect other areas of your life.

The 29 Day Moon Phases 

When you observe the moon you’ll notice that its goes though phases. At the beginning of the cycles it’s a very fine crescent, at every subsequent evening it get bigger and bigger and then it appears as a half disk, which is the end of the first quarter and then on the 14th night of the cycle, its a full moon. It then rejoins and goes into a different phase of the cycle.  It rejoins to the third quarter, and then it disappear, this is what we call the new moon. It does not appear in the sky because its on the same side as the sun this cycle is 29 half day. see Dr David Neiman video
