Hey guys,
I just wanted to give you a bit of an update.
Things have been going really well! I am happier than ever and I have been getting SO MUCH done in my life. I procrastinated on a lot of things before that I am now taking charge of. It feels great!
One thing I noticed is that when I don’t get off to a good start of the day, my whole day seems to end up off track. Today was a great example:
Just as I am about to wake up my Dad bursts into my room and starts yelling at me becuase he can’t figure out how to get wireless on his laptop. He has a PC and he was angry because he thought I setup the wireless router for MAC so I could use it (he doesn’t get computers or network stuff). So I wake up in an argument. I try to take his side and offer my assistance to try to diffuse his anger and he just gets more mad. After this I tried to do the hour of power but I found it extremely hard to get into…
The rest of the day was productive as far as getting stuff done but I found myself slipping into some old habits. The big one today was my eating. I WANTED junk food. I was craving it… I kept myself away from it but I was eating a lot of other stuff like bread and crackers which aren’t terrible but when I eat a lot of them then they are bad.
As Tony said, people eat and eat and eat to feel full. I wonder why the shaky start to my day causes me to crave a feeling of fullness? Perhaps it has something to do with the previous night where I had to spend the whole night in close proximity to my X girlfriend (awkward and emotional). When I do things for instant gratification, to feel good or feel full, its because an area of my life isn’t feeling good or full.
Now that I break it down, when I start out the day feeling great about everything it makes sense that I wouldn’t get urges for things of an instant gratification nature in the way that I do when I start off poorly.
I have also noticed the same thing happens when I log onto my computer before I do my hour of power. I check one email, then I have to see something else, then I have to respond to something else, then its a facebook message, then I start thinking about all of the things I should be doing instead of yelling stuff in a park (Hour of Power haha) which I still haven’t done … pretty soon its an hour later and getting into my hour of power is borderline impossible.
The healthy eating, my upgraded mindset and all of the other tools I took away from Tony have been doing such GREAT things for me otherwise. I don’t want to de-rail myself and give myself the opportunity to get back into poor habits.
Every morning – no matter what – the first things before ANYTHING is the hour of power: – water & lemon
-Movement: bouncing around and getting my blood flowing
-Gratitude: all of the things in my life & magic moments
-Celebration for my gratitude
-New beliefs: ...THE TRUTH IS….
-What I want the future to be
-Celebrate for my amazing future
-Affirming beliefs: ...NOW I AM THE VOICE… & STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN
-Celebrate: “you are so beautiful” “you are beautiful” then dance and celebrate hard
-Great green alkaline foods
-Oils
-More lemon and water
-Regular breathing and celebration breaks
If I start to crave unhealthy foods I will take 10 deep breaths, drink water with lemon and if I still feel hungry for it I will run through a list of all of the things I am greatful for. This will be my new pattern to make me feel full when I slip and feel like something isn’t right.
Old pattern: resorting to food to make me feel full.
New pattern: stopping, breathing, hydrating (with lemon!) and feeling greatful to make me feel full!
Looking forward to reporting back on my life and hearing about yours soon,
~Sean
