Day 18 Catching Myself When I'm Off

So my 30 day challenge has been quite an adventure so far.  Yesterday, I started my pattern of letting my commitments fall by the wayside but today I've recognized what I've started doing and I'm re-committing today.  The more awareness I'm building the quicker I'm able to catch myself when I'm off the path and re-connect to what I want for myself.  Here's a reminder of the commitments I've made for this first 30 day challenge:

Items to do Every Day (Non-negotiable):

1. Drink 24oz. of water every morning. (Body)
2. Study Body, Mind, Mastery by Dan Millman for 45 Mins. (Mind/Coaching)
3. Exercise for an hour (Body)
4. Work on Art Pieces for a minimum of 1 hour. (Artistic Expression)

Limits I want to put on myself (Non-negotiable):

1. Only 30 mins at a time at the computer.  A minimum of a 15 minute break until I can use the computer again.

There have been so many things I've been learning with this process...but, it doesn't necessarily feel like learning as much as it feels like remembering.  These lessons I have known all along yet making them practical (to practice-all) has been a wonderful journey and challenge...and it never ends.  

Reminding myself that this is a practice that will continue as long as I live is humbling, especially for a recovering perfectionist.  Moving from a striving for Perfection to a commitment to Mastery has been a great realization and one that I've been getting more and more comfortable with as part my default mindset.  "Neurons that fire together wire together" as my psychology professors would say.  

Reminders occur daily by studying Body, Mind, Mastery.  It's been very satisfying so far and at Day 18 I'm really seeing the benefits of this consistent action.

My 30 minutes has run up on my computer time (and past...grrrr) and the day is too nice to not fully enjoy it.  I'm really enjoying this limit on computer time but need to keep duct tape that my timer to it.  I'm going to do that now.  Have a great weekend!
