My 7-day break is finally over, tonight I'm running the sub. Looking forward to it 
In other news, this morning after I woke up I meditated for 35 mins which is a personal record for me. I tried meditating a couple of times over the years but even then it was never more than 10-15 mins. Last night I just made a decision "I'm gonna meditate tomorrow when I wake up." Mostly because I'm annoyed with my short attention span. So I'm looking to improve that. My attention span is even worse than I imagined because I kept focusing on my breath and I literally couldn't do it more than two counts of inhale-exhale. Frustrating. I kept re-starting the counting for like solid 30 mins. The last 5 minutes I gave up on that and just tried observing my thoughts and letting them go. That seems to work much better for me so I'm gonna focus on solely that method tomorrow.
I was definitely more focused and productive today. I didn't check Facebook or Instagram until later in the day. Today I'm also doing a 24 hour fast which is something I started doing again like 2 weeks ago. Feels smooth so far. This taking care of my body and mind aspect is beginning to resemble my experience when I was listening to MLS which is awesome. Very pleased with this development.
