Fasting To 40: My Fasting Plan for Fasting To 40.
What the heck is Fasting to 40 going to look like throughout this year?
I’ve been thinking a lot about what this is going to mean for me. To be quite honest, it’s pretty overwhelming.
I know, I know, that’s just me putting earthly, unnecessary pressures on myself because after all, this is all voluntary. Nobody is making me do this.
So, I’m going to take it in chunks. And today’s chunks is what a monthly fasting plan will look like.
Being that this whole year is one big fasting challenge for myself, there’s got to be a lot of, well, fasting in it (potentially an unnecessary sentence but you’ll probably hear me, thinking slash, typing out loud in my F-2-40 posts).
In my journal today, I wrote it all out. I intend for this to be a dynamic and ever-changing plan but it feels good to have something I’m happy with to start.
For the fasting part of my plan (because there are a lot of other goals in mind), I found it the least overwhelming to use the more businessie timeline of daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly.
I’ve done every one of these fasts several times (I’ve even done a 7-day fast) so this somewhat rigorous schedule is very doable for me.
- 19-hour fast: 5-hour eating window.
- 36-hour fast
- 72-hour/3 days fast
- 120 hours/5 days fast
After I wrote all the fasts I want to accomplish over the quarter, it was easy to match them up with my timeline.
- 19:5 = Daily
- 36 hours = 1-2x Weekly
- 72 hours or 3 day = 1x Monthly
- 120 hours or 5 day = 1x Quarterly
The one wild card is the 72 hour fast being monthly. I think I’ll change that one to, 2 times a quarter and not do the 72 hour fast when it’s a 5 Day fasting month.
This is my 3rd year of what I coined, Spiritual September. More on that in upcoming blog posts. But I’m excited for a rigorous fasting plan for September which will help get me into spiritual alignment.
