Day 153
Should have been 155 days but was away for the weekend at my friend`s house in another city so I was unable to listen to MLS.
Ok so time to feel like an idiot publicly because I stuck to my plan for like a week and then nothing. It felt like a chore. If I am getting up at 6am, my morning routine shouldn`t feel like a chore, it should be something I enjoy doing. Not because I read it`s good for me. A reason to get up. Not to stay in bed. I didn`t enjoy the gratitude journaling, it felt forced. I like Tibetan rites to some degree but one particular exercise makes me nauseous every time. I tried modifying it but it didn`t help. So I tried to think of a time I enjoyed doing a morning routine the most and I realized it was when I was doing the Wim Hof method. I can`t even remember why I stopped doing it. I think it was cause of all the travelling at that time. So I went back to the drawing board..
Here is the revised plan:
Rule no. 1: Wake up at 6am
Out of 30/31 days in the month, wake up at 6am at least 25 times. To wake up at 6am you need to be asleep by 10:30 pm. That gives you a healthy 7.5 hours of sleep. If you fall asleep later than 10:30pm, you still have to get up at 6am. If you feel tired and sleep deprived, take a 20 minute nap in the afternoon or just suck it up and get to bed earlier the following night.
Rule no.2: Have a morning routine
Morning routine will consist of the following:
- Wim Hof method
- meditation (15 mins for now)
- make your bed immediately, not 5 hours later
Rule no.3: Work on your business every day
Every day, no exceptions. Even if it`s only 5 mins. It`s 11:45pm and you still haven`t done anything towards your dream? Tough shit. You still have 15 mins left until midnight to work on it. No excuses.
Rule no.4: Learn something new every day
There are some excellent Youtube channels with crash courses on every topic you can imagine. There is so much you don`t know. The goal is 15 mins per day. You can do more but you can`t do less.
Bedtime routine:
- be in bed by 10pm
- read something to wind down (Physical books and/or quality newspapers, not e-books. Don`t read any more personal development books. But you can re-read what you already have in physical form. Remember that knowledge is not power until it`s applied.)
What was modified compared to my original: morning routine
What was eliminated: running. This was too optimistic on my part. I will focus first on getting my morning routine strong and then on adding elements in the day.
I think this should work now
