Well, I am half way through day one, and so far, right on track. Yes, it’s a bit early to be updating (I will usually do a post day after), but part of this challenge is to consistently update/write, using my lunch hour as the set time. I used to use my lunch hour to surf the web, and I am trying to stay out of that habit post unplugged challenge.
Did not sleep well last night, I believe I was worried about jumping out of bed on time. I kept waking up, thinking 'its gotta be close to 5', and I would glance at the clock and it was only 12:30. I continued to wake up every hour after, and was even quite wide awake at 3:30 (as usual). Part of my hope in this is to get my sleep cycle corrected. I am not tired in general, and usually sleep fairly well, so just some new alarm clock and challenge excitement I would guess. :)
Meditated for a full 20 minutes, although did not mean to. I had set my phone timer to 10 minutes (or so I thought), but at some point I decided it best to check the time, and realized it was counting down 10 hours. I had already been meditating for 20 minutes on the dot! I thought it would be harder to go a full 20 minutes, guess I was wrong on that one.
Got to work 5 minutes early, and set in motion my plan for the day. Still plugging through my list, hoping to have a nice satisfying day.
Very happy with day one so far. Reading over my notes, I sound a bit obsessed with the schedule and flow of the day, but this challenge really is going to stress my ability to stay on track ALL day. I am liking that aspect, I usually don't organize my days quite so strict, but I think this will help clean up some minor areas. For example, we have 'flex' time at work, so its not imperative that I be in at a particular time, as long as I am pretty consistent, and work the required hours, no issues. But I would like to get in early and lock in a time every day, rather then let it fluctuate 10-20 minutes, usually based on my alarm clock arguments. So I am just refining a few things in my schedule into stronger habits, and I am motivated quite a bit on that angle.
rolling along.....
