This morning went great! I planned to wake up every morning at 7am, then freshen up and meditate for about 15-30 mins before breakfast.

I didn’t sleep very well last night, and I was very groggy when the alarm went off this morning. I felt like rebelling and not going through with this plan on the excuse that I didn’t sleep well, but after a couple of minutes fighting with myself, I decided that I could always take a nap later if I was really tired.

So I got up, and I had a great session! Felt more refreshed and enlightened, and of course, also happiness and pride that I was disciplined and motivated enough to do this! =)

I hope I’ll continue to do well with this, and make it a regular thing. I think it would really benefit me a lot in the long run.

I read a lot of books, but I want to make sure that I’m also reading some books that I can learn something else from.

One non-fiction book a month should be doable. And of course, required textbooks for my studies aren’t counted.

I might have to make a list of the non-fiction books I’d like to take on. I have a few in mind already. =)

I’ve set aside two hours a day in the mornings for the whole month of November, and I’m not allowing myself to do anything else during those two hours.

It’s easy for me to distract myself and procrastinate, but I guess one of the things I gotta learn is self-discipline. I really want to do this, and I have to remind myself of my motivations.

The great thing is that you’d only have to be disciplined for a short while, and after that, it becomes a habit.

If all goes well, I’m planning to continue the two hours writing every morning, even after NaNoWriMo is over.

Good luck to all participants! And good luck to me too!
