Losing Steam

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

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

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.
