Losing Steam

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

As it seems to happen, I lost my focus over the weekend even with Twitter.  Sunday was a wasted day after I had high hopes.  I am back and have done some good things.

I am counting calories, getting progress at work and working on my scheduling.  I am not having the success that I would like to have at this point but I have 3 more weeks.

I will be gone this weekend most likely.  If I do go, hopefully history repeats itself and I will come back with a lot of focus.  Previous have had that effect if even for a short spell.

Up Until Now

Tuesday, February 5th, 2008

I had a decent evening.  I was dogged tired and finally realized that I was tired, not just lacking focus.  I played basketball and almost went home skipping the typical gathering afterwards.

If anything else, the main thing I worked to change is developing my friendships.  Ignoring them would have been contradictory to what I want.  I ate as healthy as I could.  Then I went home, did some laundry and went to bed earlier than I have recently.

I still woke up tired and wonder if I am not sick.  Work is picking up.  Hopefully the Law of Attraction works.

Oh and I had the most amazing dream last night.  It was very realistic then movie-like.  Something in my dream that I could not imagine doing in real life.  It gave me something to ponder.

Still loving Twitter.

Focus and Twitter

Monday, February 4th, 2008

I picked up Twitter on a lark after seeing them on other sites.  Didn’t know what I would do with it but I have ended up finding it to being an accountability buddy.

I have wanted to break some good habits or momentum but then I think of writing in Twitter.  I write about it and it keeps me on task reminding me of what I want to do.  That is really the problem with me.  I will have a moment of clarity and strength then I will use my powers of procrastination to say, “I will do this tomorrow,” for avoidance.

Twitter keeps my goals in my mind.  I actually dreamt of using Twitter, that is how much it had excited my mind.  Out of reflex I have bought a soda during lunch and starting drinking before I remembered that I was “focusing” on my goals.  Sounds silly but I would just forget.

Even after this experiment is over, win or lose I will keep Twitter.  I have a “Monkey Mind” as they call it in Buddhism and being able to throw thoughts on to Twitter will let me organize them later.

Almost 24 hours and I am still excited.  I’m doing 90% better than I usually do with my plans.
