Great Discipline Experiment: Day 10

A friend got all inspired about the Great Project (but she renamed it “The Great Intention Experiment), I guess because “discipline” sounded to harsh or something. Which is fine. Here is her tale.

Sooo, after we talked, I was so excited about what I call “the intention experiment”. It’s really bugging me how days pass.  When I got home I started to write out a schedule for the day. When I would actually get things done.  Like the Nanny does for mothers on the Super Nanny show. First morning of “the experiment” my friend Jim taps on the back door at 7:45, yes 7:45, he was returning a drill I had been looking for and lent them. We started to chat and then it was 8:30 and I missed my meditation and journaling time  forgot to drink water, say affirmations and take vitamins and barely made it out the door to catch a yoga class. I did make it to yoga though! The rest of the day was kind of like that and I didn’t get things done that I wanted???

Well, it’s going about the same for me. Things happen, like my car needs service or I lost my keys or a conference call gets rescheduled…what then? How not to let the whole thing got to pot? This must remain a rhetorical question for now…

So, my analysis of week one is something like this:
Meditation: Good
Journaling: Pretty Good
Yoga: Good
Study: Not Good
Writing: Not Good
Diet: Great

The main thing I’ve learned is that if I don’t contemplate the day hour by hour first thing in the AM, the discipline project goes down the tubes. It has to be scheduled and planned for. When s*#t happens, I need to rearrange my schedule, but not let it fall apart. Just move time slots around.

OK, Week Two. Bring it on.

How’s it going for you?
