Day 12 and day 13

12th and 13th day of my 21 day challenge!

Day 12 (19th January):

Meditation:  I meditated for about 15 minutes and was mindful of my surroundings, listening and noticing how my body was feeling.

Exercise:  I did 52 lengths in the swimming pool, this was easy and I wasn't even a little bit tired which was quite disappointing!  I think I need to keep on increasing the amount of lengths I am doing to improve as much as possible!  Next time I will try and do 65!!

Writing:  I did some research on how to develop my plot, this is for my story that I am going to start writing as soon as possible, it just needs some fine-tuning in the storyline first and I need to think about characters and how they are going to develop throughout the plot.

Work on my business:  I did some research and blogging for the promotional side of my business.  This side of things is going quite well already, as I have 56 page likes on facebook, and I've only had the page up for about a week or so.  I also found a cool website called Threadless, where people upload their t-shirt designs and people vote on them to get produced or not!  This is now bookmarked.

Day 13 (20th January):

Meditation:  I meditated for 20 minutes, using my 'om' mantra.  This was easy when I broke it up into two 10 minute sessions.  I might do this from now on!

Exercise:  I did half an hour of yoga today.  I really like doing yoga because it tones your muscles and strengthens your core muscles, not to mention it is amazing for your nervous system!!  I did some twists and some practice on lengthening my hamstrings, downward facing dog and happy pose.

Spend time with/do things for other people:  I was going to go to an appointment with my best friend, but she decided that it was too long a wait so instead we just had a catch up and some yummy chickpea curry which we made together for dinner.  Mmmmmmmmm!

Drawing and work on my business:  I did an hour of designs for some of my T-shirts.  These were detailed line drawings of mushrooms and jellyfish.  The idea was to do them on a black t-shirt, but with bright blue, orange or green prints.  This would look UV and awesome!  I don't know how I am going to put this onto a t-shirt yet but I will need to explore my options.

I have had a great christmas break, and it's back to uni tomorrow so I am going to struggle at first to do my challenge activities as well as go to uni, but I think this will be good for me and I will accept any challenge!  I am still annoyingly positive about all of this even though I have to wake up at 6!  But I guess I just can't wait to get my teeth sunk into a new project at uni.  I hope everybody has an awesome day tomorrow!  HAPPY TUESDAYYYY!
