Day 50: Reading Ab Hicks for 45mins each morning ( My no1 easiest and most reliable resistance releasing activity )
Day 25: posting here. Main guideline, focus on what's wanted with scant attention to unwanted

Last night I found myself looking forward to the idea of going to a coffee shop this morning and doing a Creative Workshop exercise.
I remember enjoying doing this soon after I went full time self employed about 2 years ago. Like the instructions say, it's good to do this when you're happy so it's a great sign that I've found myself wanting to do it. I've bought a separate A5 notebook for creative workshop and for positive aspects. I had fun re-reading the chapter in Ask and it is Given and enjoyed the exercise. Having a dedicated notebook will make it easier to update it regularly.

As my average mood improves, I'm noticing a fascinating change in my perception of time. My few hours of free time in the morning now feels like SO much time. My hours at work feel like SO much time to get things done.

My cold is getting lighter each day. Amazingly both my girlfriend and I woke up with a sore throat a week ago, my symptoms progressed very strongly and now I'm almost better... my gfs symptoms did not get worse at all , until yesterday. It's like life knew that we really could do with not being ill at the same time! lol

Day 1: 16-8 intermittent fasting

Tim Ferris loves that idea of the 'minimum effective dose'. Reading Hicks for 45 mins every morning seems to be my 'M.E.D'
Today's reading, a sentence that really stood out is 'if you make joyfulness your priority then abundance will flow easily to you'.
As it happens this is a good week to play with that more - my girlfriend is ill which means I'm covering the shop every day until further noticed. Knowing I have all this extra time instore makes it feel like I have more leeway for breaks and slowing down and stuff, so it's easier to allow myself to play the joyful game.

I'd like to get more mental sharp / less foggy or scatty. Something that lines up with that only going on YouTube if I have an idea what I want to watch or search for.
Also if I get impulses to check my email or randomly google football, to check if the impulse feels like it's moving towards more joy or not.

I'm feeling inspired to do intermittent fasting. It feels like a really easy and fun change to make to both lose a little weight and gain a bit more mental focus and health. I've taken my bag of organic oats to work I like the idea of a little lunch break at 2pm around this

Day 2: 16-8 intermittent fasting

interesting day at work yesterday - felt like there was a real battle between the old mindset of 'need to do things' and 'my top priority is feeling joyful in whatever I'm doing' . Eventually I really settled in to taking it extremely easy and after a couple of hours I had a nice little flow of customers to deal with - it was a really nice feeling to experience that flow of custom whilst in an allowing state and not ' working hard' state.

I feel so good now at not getting worried or frustrated with negative emotion. I'm loving that awareness that negative emotion just means I'm playing the negative aspect game.

I'd like to be less day dreamy / brain foggy. As I write positive aspects, it's helping to keep my pen hovering on each line to keep my attention on what I've written.

....

Later in the day now, been at work a while. Noticing that positive aspect game is starting to feel a little to active - emotions are telling me that my mind is after more slowing down. When I get into work I set a timer for 45mins and just sat without any distractions like internet or phone and stuff - and felt really good!
I'd love it if this keeps going and I naturally dislike distractiony stuff

Day 3: 16-8 intermittent fasting

In reading Hicks this morning , something stood out that felt good - 'there's plenty of money ' feels good to say
I actually do have that £100 in my wallet I carry around with me, I'd like to remember more often that I have it and spend it more often

Today I was attracted to playing the prosperity game. My imagination isn't quite up to spending £1000 on day 1 so I'm starting with £100 lol. Took me a good while to spend that! And it includes tins of organic lentils and black beans.

I'm enjoying my mornings more and more. When I wake up it's getting easier to look forward to them. Also that sense of time shifting is really nice, my hours in the morning feel like such a great amount of time to chill out.

I went to the gym this morning, at the entrance there was a big guy arguing with a member of staff - so immediately I was like 'check my vibe!' and indeed I wasn't really feeling good about going to the gym, I'd gotten into 'action mode'. I turned around and left and it felt like a big relief! That's some good guidance following there

Average mood still creeping up - my enjoyment of things still creeping up.

Day 55: Reading Ab Hicks for 45mins each morning ( My no1 easiest and most reliable resistance releasing activity )
Day 30: posting here. Main guideline, focus on what's wanted with scant attention to unwanted
Day 5: 16-8 intermittent fasting
Day 3: animal walking in morning
Day 2: no snacking

Average mood still creeping up - for the first time I find my thinking naturally drifting into hopefulness which feels very very nice. There's more self worth and self kindness in my vibe for sure.

I'm enjoying the evolution of my daily habits.Yesterday I naturally wanted to drop off my snacking during my eating window. I enjoyed food much more, felt better and am already losing some weight. I'm loving this process of not taking any action until I actually feel I want to do it.

I'd like to still get less brain foggy and more focused and awake - in feeling into this last night I found myself really wanting to go the gym and do an exercise that I used to do. 20 mins walking on a steep incline treadmill. There's many things I love about this exercise particularly that the incline improves my whole posture by strengthening the whole posterior chain. Lovely antidote to sitting

Oh and I'd like my business profits to go up so much that everything changes

Day 6: 16-8 intermittent fasting
Day 4: animal walking in morning
Day 3: no snacking
Day 2: 20mins incline treadmill in the morning

I can say that my average mood is still creeping up. At points it's like I'm really feeling my own goodness again, which is very nice.

I had a perfect Hicks day at work yesterday. I run a little private art gallery with framing and printing service - despite it being a Saturday and lots of people about, I'd barely taken anything by 4pm. I was really really good during the day of refusing to feel bad about anything, I stopped many times from 'doing things' and switched to little focus blocks on this website with the intention of feeling more well--being. Then a lovely couple walked in, very wealthy and successful , we had fun negotiating a £500 which I joyfully upsold to £750

I feel like it's getting easier and easier to nudge out of any negative thinking. I often just ask myself about the thoughts in my mind ' are those positive aspects?' and that an be enough

I enjoyed doing the 20mins incline treadmill again this morning. Amazing how many things about this exercise are perfect for me. I'll list them again! I can burn 200 calories in 20mins, it still feels quite easy and fun, my whole body feels better afterward, my posture improves, leg strength improves, gives me more energy for the day. This dovetailed into some weight training - which went much better than normal s my inclination moves away from drama and into ease
It came back to me about Tim Ferris' 5-5 cadence advice and it worked really well - I walked out the gym relaxed and everything feeling good.
