Good morning! Had trouble sleeping last night, which made waking up at 4am a bit more difficult. But I dragged myself out of bed and am out and about.
Daily Reporting for 8th January
Gud morning everyone! Got up at 4 am today.... think I dozed off between 6 to 630 when I was reading a book - Need to do something more interesting instead of just sitting around... 2/30
Good morning everyone,
Just a bit different, it took 10 seconds to drag me out of bed at 06:30 and now I have already did my prayer (meditation)
i
Awake, out of bed, and 1 hour ahead of schedule, on with the day :-)
Went for aerobics even if it meant dragging myself off the bed. Well I was in for a surprise!
I had weighed myself on the 5th of Jan and the scale showed 76.7kg(my highest ever). Today it showed 75.3.
But, considering the holidays were spent feasting(mostly on wrong food), I was probably just constipated on Monday morning ;P
I am 5 feet 5 inch only and that means there's a long way to go.
Was in a foul mood this morning as am in very touristy Surfers Paradise and sunburnt! I long for empty beaches and real food .. plus missing my exercise routine. However - am going to take back control of my mood and to that end did another forced writing session this morning in order not to forego my zenhabits challenge. Felt a million percent afterwards!
Had troubles getting up today but dragged myself out of the bed and did my morning routine, visualization challenge included. I ended up on average time 10 minutes, my visualization will serve as a good guidance for today, since my mind seems to be quite erratic. :)
Day 8
(i)
got up @ 6:45 - easy!
(ii)
did a 15 minute mindfulness meditation. OK.
(iii)
did a 15-20 minute Chinese vocab review - easy.
Still very motivated.
Morning, all fellow challengers!
To recap, my challenge is to take one tiny step in the direction of Getting Things Done, namely to identify and write down the tasks i need to get done (with the wish that i'll actually then get around and actually *do* them :)
It's getting harder and harder to think of *new* things that need to be done. I thought of one work related task and three personal ones, so my focus must change a bit. In addition to adding any new stuff i can think of, i'll add a review bit which i caught from Tim Ferris' blogging about this very challenge (here: http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2009/01/07/the-power-of-less-leo-babauta-zen-habits/ ) : "Set your 3 MITs (Most Important Tasks) each morning."
What would feel great is to have a list of tasks that i've actually *done* too :)
Up early & out the door on the way to the gym by 05:30 .....
Need to try & get to sleep earlier though - that said in the middle of humid summer is a bit of an ask
Hi all! Got up at 7am without recourse to the snooze button. Did gentle exercise 5 mins.
Onwards & Upwards everyone!
Day 8. I'm glad that I started exactly on January 1st, because it makes it a lot easier to remember what day I'm on :)
Today I did leg lifts and pushups.
day 4 of morning meditation, had a little bit difficulties to get up, but i was still on time for the practice!
Day 8. Meditation went surprisingly well, I'm now able to focus on being present more and more each day. (Hope it's a tendency that won't stop tomorrow.) I didn't sleep well for some reason, and woke up worried after bad dreams. Zazen helped me to shake everything off and start a day calm and mindful. No after-birthday syndrome, as I didn't drink last night (which is good).
My morning routine was a little disturbed by a friend that rang at my door. Anyway, back on track, I did my Chi-Kung exercise and my back is thanking me already. Still very motivated and curious to see if I'll be able to complete the challenge this time.
2/25 (I started on Jan 7th).

Ronn 01 – Day eight of recording my dreams and thoughts upon waking. I did not remember my dreams. My thoughts were on keywords for a website I am planning. I greet this day with love in my heart and an attitude of gratitude.
Hai
Today, I found it very difficult to stay with my 30 minutes of organizing papers.
Lots of single papers to store in different folders - lot of work and no end to see.... :o(((
