Day 10

The tenth day of my 21 day challenge!

DAY 10 (17th January):

WOW I am almost halfway through!  And i've never felt better or more positive about everyday life!  It has been gradual but when I look back to the start things have really improved!!  By simply breaking things down into small, manageable tasks everyday, and setting small daily targets, a hell of a lot has happened!

Exercise:  Today I went swimming and swam 50 lengths!  Which is about 2500 metres so I was quite knackered after but felt AMAZING!

Doing things for other people:  Today I did a thing on the internet with WWF that asked questions and calculated my carbon footprint.  Then I had a look at some tips that I could do to make it better so this is what I will be doing!  As if I wasn't environmentally conscious already, now I am going to be the biggest pain in the arse ever with my family!  This wasn't just for one person this was for the WORLD!!  I am going to try and improve on this every single day!

Working on my business and drawing:  I did some awesome sponge paintings using the stencils I designed yesterday.  This would be a very good method of painting on tshirts and I think I will use similar designs but adapt and improve them.  I have quite neglected the whole writing side of things so tomorrow this is what I will be doing.  But anything creative is good really!  It is really therapeutic to do creative activities!

Meditation:  Today I had to meditate on the bus on the way to my friend's house for dinner!  This wasn't ideal but desperate times I suppose.  It certainly was a new experience, when I opened my eyes, time seemed to have gone really quickly!

All in all it was a very active day, even after swimming I seemed to be bouncing around with loads of energy!  I love feeling like this because it is when I feel most like myself!  I cannot believe that I am pretty much halfway through this challenge, it has really gone very quickly!  And I am learning a lot about self-discipline, and also how much doing things for a short period of time everyday can really benefit you!  You just don't really notice it because they are such baby steps.
