Way to go Alexis! I’m really proud of you for pushing through Day 4. Sounds like the habits are now getting auto-pilot for you too, which is fantastic! Continue to share with us any other updates you may have too.

Hey Helena! I know many recommend meditating both day and night as a practice. I meditate at night because it’s a great way to clear out the clutter/ongoings for the day. Whereas in the morning, I’d be waking up fresh from the sleep, so I’d rather get up and get right into action. That’s my preference, and there’s no one way. Let me know if you have other questions. Congratulates on your pregnancy Helena!

Hi Celes! It is a great blog you have and I really enjoy your posts. I have a question about meditation – why are you doing that in the evening, isn’t it more effective in the morning or does it depend on purpose (like relaxing in the evening etc.).
I am in the middle of my third pregnancy, so I really cannot make any plans for myself right now – just have to follow the needs of my body and mind, but I’ll definitely will remember all this, and hope to use some day. Thank you for sharing it all!

Hi Celes, I came late to the party so this is my first exposure to your lifestyle revamp. I am in the middle of a revamp but is minor compared to what’s happening here. You are some great points and I thinking perhaps I need to get more serious in my efforts. I’ll be following along as time allows to learn from your incredible example. Thanks for the inspiration.

Hi Everyone!

Mmmm… these changes do sound great. :-) Congrats! Guess I join the group with 21 days of:

1.) Bedtime routine (sleeping from 12 to 09, or earlier).
2.) 3 or more hours of work on my thesis.
3.) Inner Child – Inner Parent written conversations, _every single day_: I sweared myself as a kid to be a great parent of my future children – and the most helpful way I’ve found for learning this is to become a great parent of myself. Sending myself to bed in time, calming myself when I’m upset (and not letting anxiety lead to perfectionism and/or procrastination); having an eye on how healthy is the food I eat, trusting and encouraging myself, being responsible and patient, etc. (AND switching my mind into my childlike-self is also a great source of the creativity, playfulness and sincerity that children usually have.) I still too often fail with this.
4.) My spiritual excercises: one for 10 minutes, and one for 50 minutes.
5.) Taking the 6changes program* for a longish meditation (as this gonna be a hard one, I’ve decided to be patient and walk it with baby steps).

*: Credits: http://www.6changes.com is from the author of zenhabits, too. :-) I was suprised, Celes, that one of your links above lead to his blog (wasn’t expecting it, rather, as two of the five blogs I read most likely won’t EVER connect with the other three) — but it was a nice reminder that after all, it’s really a net. :-)

Have a nice day, everyone! :-)

Day 6
Well it’s becoming a habit now, It’s going to be even easier for me to do what’s on my habit list for the next 2 weeks since the school holidays have begun… The most difficult day for me was day 4 because I was really badly sick, even with all the pain and exhaustion, I still did everything on my list: I played football while sitting down, I did the homework and meditation in my bed, I’m better now and feeling like nothing during the 15 remaining days to go will be as difficult as Thursday^^…
Hope everyone is doing well in their trial and thanks for your so useful tips Celestine!
