Wow. This is a great start to my goal, and if this isn’t a sign I should strive onward, I don’t know what is! I actually made this work, and it was actually really yummy! :D I’ve noticed I’m not bad when it comes to making desert. I made chocolate lava puddings for Christmas and that was also a success… I better start writing down these recipes.

How I did it: I set aside 20 minutes for meditation everyday, after having written out a kind of contract that I would finish the 40-day session. I'd meditate in front of this everyday to encourage myself into finishing all the days. At first it was something of a chore, definitely for the 1st week it was something of a challenge.

I’ve given 43things a breather for a while, but I’ve noticed that since I’ve stopped coming to this site my life goals are a little bit out of focus. I spend too much time on one thing and fail to keep up with another – I need balance, and I think that calls for my setting a schedule for organising my time of what to do and when to do it. I’d really like to see how much more efficient I’ll be if I do this. Schedules aren’t really my thing – I go with the flow a lot of the time, but I’ll give it a go and see what I get from it. Hopefully I can sort out all the crap that’s going on in my life right now!
