Woke at 4 am this morning wide awake. One of the cats then started yowling, so at 4:15 I just opted to get up, put him in a room until breakfast, and just use the time for some extra writing. I have been meditating, usually visualizing my goals, but keeping a supply of paper and pens in front of me. I set a goal so that I make sure to finish my meditation for the morning (as best I can), such as visualizing what my plan for the day will be, positive outcomes, and then a lot of times I work on some areas of problems, and write out a plan of attack. I do need to make sure I balance my plans with my actions.....starting to get a bit ahead of myself. So my meditation time is usually a mix of clearing my mind, visualization, and some focused writing.

I have a mental picture coming together of my next 30 day challenge. A lot of it is going to revolve around maintaining some of the habits I have created in my prior two challenges. Keeping the internet and TV time low, yoga and meditation on a regular basis, and continue setting aside time for my projects. Would like to make more progress on my work goals and projects that I have laid out this month. I am going to add a couple items in there to focus a bit on my husband and my felines, who have both probably lost a little of my time as of late. I think solidifying my habits, and making sure to give time and energy to those I love is a good follow up. I will still be busy, but mentally, it will be less 'new' items to instill. I feel like I have made some drastic changes in the last couple months, I probably need a bit more practice to make sure my habits stay in place. I have my home and work projects to keep me super motivated heading into the next 30 days.

But I am ahead of myself........still 14 more days to go here :)
