Day 4 - Balance

Stressful day, nice test of my focus and willpower.

Meditation this morning was more difficult then the prior three. I tried to vary much I think, and lost focus much earlier then prior mornings.

Work was busy and a ton of distractions. Went to lunch for a celebration, and totally messed up the flow of the day. Need to overcome those distractions.

The DH and I carpool to work, so there are times when he gets stuck in late meetings which I have pretty much prepared for in this challenge. Got home late today, but because I am cooking large meals with leftovers, just started yoga late, not a big deal since I did not have to cook. Although, I was very tired by the time I got home, so had to push to get the yoga mat out and get started. Initially, thought I was going to just do a short yoga session, but I decided I needed to push through, and ended up going much longer then intended.

I consider this just a challenge day, not a big deal. The last few nights I have worked through the evening on my home 'work' projects much longer then I had set aside, so tonight I will take it a bit easy and just meet the minimum. Do not want burnout early in the 30 day. My husband has been stressed at work, and I believe I am picking up too much on that vibe, will try and work on that in my meditations.

Even though it was not a 'great' day, I consider it a good results day, because I had several obstacles and pushed through. Nothing serious, but a nice test of my schedule and drive.

Tomorrow is Friday, happy for the weekend, and looking forward to seeing how I handle the morning hours without work :)
