So Far So Good to Awesome

I have implemented my daily schedule and my daily training schedule and so far it's been very good. Having the days "themed" is great because when I wake up I think what is up for the day and I get excited about it because I know what I am doing that day versus wondering what shall I do today. I have found that since I implemented hot yoga classes 2-3 times a week, I'm more noodlefied that I anticipated, however I will adapt. The executive decision has been made that the 90 minute hot yoga class on Fridays will be opposite the weeks of I Ho Chuan.

Implementing my daily training is a progressional transformation progress and I must say that having the bulk and light days for my pushups and situps is very much working for me. Bulk days are on Monday-Tuesday and Thursday-Friday. Last week I made sure that my goals were met for pushups and situps and this week I added in the forms and will probably keep status quo for next week. The week after I will be adding in another requirement and so forth. The reason for the progressional transformation is to not only to divert overwhelm,but also give a sense of accomplishment along the way.

Designated torch days pull me forward as well. In this hot weather I have been making icicles not because they cool me down, it's because they are quick to make and meditative in the process. Plus I have to build up a stock of them so now is a good time as any to do so.

Now for the awesome part. I have added a "want list" to my daily journaling and it's helped me to be more free in asking for what I want. Here's the kicker: most of it isn't material, it's either way of being, what I want learn, or what I want to accomplish. I am, however, careful not to make my "want list" into a to-do list. What I have discovered is that through my journaling I am getting to discover who I really am, what my gifts are, and are starting to embrace them. I am turning to my inner self for answers and guidance, not making decisions based on others thoughts and opinions of me or otherwise. It's truly amazing to see what is revealed through my pen when I ask what I need to know for today. I am learning to recognize, trust, sharpen and follow my intuition even more than I have in the past. Some times it's scary but at least it's me making and following the decision. In other words: total accountability.
