Random Strategy From Personal Development for Smart People: #58 Coach-I need hire a personal coach to stay motivated, focused and accountable.
Comments: OK–I get the point here I need help from others. I am going to get some coaching of sorts tomorrow anyways. We shall see how that goes. I am considering starting the Master Cleanse next Thursday or Friday, so I will need to gear up and get myself ready. This time I suspect I will go for longer than 10 days. On the Master Cleanse, you consume a drink made from freshly squeezed lemons or limes, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper. Should be fun the second time around. I completed my first cleanse in September.
Day 8 Results
I completed 30 minutes of raking leaves today and only made a small dent in the overall job! More to come!
It was definitely helpful to write in my diary today about how this 30 day trial is going for me so far. Overall, I think it a success because I have had a major breakthrough in posting material to my website. I have also been good about getting my tasks done, but have been more resistant to following through on the strategy of the day sometimes. That is something to look at. Part of my challenge is that sometimes in order to complete my tasks, I need to sacrifice doing something else that I think makes more sense to do or that I want to do. It is quite an obligation to post these updates each night. If I have plans for the evening, I need to get all my tasks done and reported before the plans, or leave enough time afterwards to complete my tasks and reporting. Once this 30-day trial is over, I will feel so liberated from that type of scheduling snafu. It is my intention to keep up the pace of producing material however.
I reviewed my notes from my last Master Cleanse. I am in the planning stages for my next one. On Wednesday, I am attending a vegetarian Meetup dinner. I have made the decision that my next Master Cleanse will begin on Thursday. The results of my first Master Cleanse will be reported in one of the articles I committed to writing for this 30-day trial. It is all coming together.
I did my goal getter hypnosis CD-still not bored and really am enjoying the reinforcement to stick to my goals.
I have not worked on the Nasal Irrigation article, which is fine–today was a busy day. I should have no trouble completing it and posting it tomorrow.
