Stage 3 Week 5 - Week 8 Overcoming Procrastination 4G
Life got a lot more busy lately, my time is now used towards activities which directly effect my future. Because of that, I was unable to change from stage 3 to stage 4 on the 32 day schedule. Stage 3 was extended by 7 days.

- Stopped drinking my favor caffeine source. Its not that I've stop caffeine, its just that I've been meaning to cut that source out. One day I concluded now is the time. So far so good this is a stepping stone of course towards larger acts of self control. I expect my confidence in this small thing to give me confidence in big things.
- I've started to laugh out loud lately. What was only humorous before has now become funny.
- I'm beginning to find enjoyment in classical music.
- In order to build self discipline, which I equate to alpha, I'm starting to deny myself of small things. Maybe better said I'm pushing myself to improve my self control and will power as with the stopping a specific caffeine source stated above. I'm starting to do this in other parts of my life. These are not rules like the caffeine drinks, "I will not drink that any more", but small acts which deny me of things I've become accustom to. Forgoing a mid meal snack, not buying the impulse item at the store checkout line, not stopping at the convenience store, etc. My motivation is not that I need to deny myself of something in order to progress to a new state. It's more of a small step in increasing my confidence in my ability to have true self control and will power.
- Re-reading chapter or entire sections of books in order to make sure I master material or a subject.
- Using my spare time much more constructive. (which means less forum time)
- Starting to think its not "becoming alpha to everyone else" that I want, it's confidence in my ability to do things excellently that I'm desiring. With self-discipline such that I know I can accomplish whatever I desire to achieve. The confidence is founded upon knowledge and experiences showing to myself that I'm who I want to be. This includes both mental and physical desire, motivation, discipline, will power, and persistence to continue to the goal. At times I thinks it ok for my not to be the alpha male among my peers. I'm less and less caring if I'm an Alpha. I want to fully respect myself. I want that level of confidence in myself, because it really does not matter what the world thinks of me. What matters Is what I think of me.
