I have tidied up the stuff next to my bed and vaccuumed there. I have got my yoga mat out and I am all ready for doing a little bit of yoga tomorrow. I also just ate my banana :-)
I would not have got the floor done, or eaten the banana, if I didn't plan to write about it here. So maybe I need to keep this up for a while...
My list for tomorrow:

My list for tomorrow:
- make a phonecall about the document (I know I would procrastinate on this)
- spend 10 minutes tidying/sorting in my bedroom
- go for a short walk as soon as I get home
- do 10 minutes of yoga streches**
- eat two pieces of fruit as snacks
- go to bed by 11pm
**I keep thinking that I need a solid 45 minutes or so for it to be worthwhile doing some yoga - and 45 minutes seems so hard to find (although I can easily spend 45 minutes online reading blogs without even noticing). But everyone can manage to commit 10 minutes to something! And really, 10 minutes will still be good for me (and with my back being a bit funny still, it is probably better to start off slowly). And I know I will feel good once I managed to get started (a bit like the walking thing, huh Sharni? - comment on previous post) so it is likely that I will continue for longer.
I ended up with 6 things on my list. I really wanted to keep it to 5, but the ones that are repeats from yesterday I am hoping to build up momentun on, the phonecall has to be done, and the yoga I am all set for now with cleared floor space and my mat ready. So six it is :-)
I am now about to brush my teeth and get ready for bed so I can be in bed by 11. Sweet dreams!

Way to Go!
ReplyDeleteI keep thinking about going for a walk and I keep thinking about getting back into my tai chi but I never quite get there. The most frustrating part is that I do have the time.
Call me the queen of procrastination.
Well, your post yesterday inspired me and I did some yoga by the bed last night and a bit this morning.
ReplyDeleteI started meditating when I was pregnant with Xavier and just did 10 minutes a day. Just like you, I said that I can definitely commit to just 10 minutes a day. You know what? It works.
I have a 9pm cut off with my blogs and tidying up the house. I then go into my room, get into my pj's, light a candle, meditate and then do some yoga. I find that if I don't do the 9pm cut off, I end up not meditating, not doing yoga, not lighting my candle and then not sleeping well. (Not that I am getting that much sleep, since I am still getting up for my little man at night ;)).
But I was thinking of you when I was doing my yoga :)
Keep at it!
Thanks Nevyn! :-)
ReplyDeleteCan there be two queens of procrastination? I am damn good at it, but trying to get past that. I have to, as my body has given me too many signs saying I really need to take it seriously.
Many years ago I used to train Kung-Fu, and part of our training was Tai Chi. I can still remember the 24 movement short form (mostly anyway - it is 10 years since I stopped training). I would sometimes do Tai Chi after I stopped training, but gradually it wore off...
Wow - that is great if my post inspired you!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your routine with a 9pm cut-off and then meditate and do yoga with a lit candle.
What a great way to finish the day and setting yourself up for a peaceful night (at least until your little one needs you!).
Thanks for the encouragement to keep at it. I am amazed that I am getting this support here, it is fantastic, and it really helps!
