So last month was my first month trying this out. The goal was to set habits in place to do something different other than doing nothing and wasting time. This month, I'm taking it a step further and building on the momentum from last month. Goals: Be in bed by midnight I'm setting this up just because I want to wake up earlier and get things done earlier in the morning. I still have a habit of staying up until I crash so this should help prevent that. Meditate Daily for 30 days (No Time Requirement) I've seen how meditating has been helping lately. I felt bad for breaking the streak a couple times last month so I want to see if I can go 30 consecutive days with no time requirement on how long to do it. I'll experiment with longer runs and at least get in a good 5 minutes if I don't have much time that day. Dance Party 3x a week (2x a week MINIMUM) This is just to feel good, get out of my head, and go back to my body before either going out or going to work. I got this idea from a 3 foot giant aka Sean Stephenson. He has a great talk on TEDx too. Here's a video for reference on the Dance Party: Run 3x Week Last month was daily walking. This month I'm stepping it up and giving running a try. I did it the other day and saw it was a nice change of pace. I'm also integrating Zombies Run since it's been a long while since I used that. This will be fun. Yoga 2x Week This is to help to maintain my body during rest days and build on my flexibility & balance. I plan on getting NF Yoga next month. For now, I'm going to use Youtube. If anybody knows any good resources, let me know. Read 5x Week After doing this last month, I can read more than when I started. Instead of doing this everyday, I'm doing 5 days a week this time so I can allow myself to take a day off if I want it. Finish Level Up Your Life and start a new book I was looking at the book today and was surprised I'm 2/3 through with it. I want to get this book done so I can start a new one. Taking it one page at a time. Eat clean for 3 days in a row (Do this twice every week with an optional day to "cheat") To make it easier than 6 days in a row, I'm just breaking it down to 3 days in a row twice a week. Instead of concerning myself with what exactly is on my plate, I'm just making sure I'm having the best quality food I can get. I'm already consciously minimizing processed foods and sugar so that helps a lot. As long as it's real food, I'll put it on my plate. The optional day is for when life happens. Gotta make room for that. Small Talk when I'm out (Side Quest) This is a social goal I have so I can get more comfortable talking to strangers. Social situations with strangers still freak me out and I'm working on it to lessen the anxiety in the moment. One Academy Quest Per Week (Side Quest) At least one academy quest a week to get some more XP, see how far I can push myself, and keep moving that baseline. Just like last month, I'm doing the Gold Star/Demerit system for accountability and highlighting behaviors. Feedback is always welcome. Let's get it!
