Day 6 of 24: Planning, handstands, and meditation

This is a challenging goal, but I’m confident I can achieve it in the next few weeks. I’m going to:

a) set multiple reminders with my phone and e-mail
b) text my trainer daily
c) write out a few routines so that I don’t have to think about what I need to do each day
d) order the Yoga Shakti DVD
e) print out my intentions/plans and post them prominently

Yes!
