  • Day 21: Shaping Discipline

    Holy crap, getting close to finishing my second 30 day challenge. I realized the last few days it’s been getting progressively more difficult for me mentally to go through everything. Thinking about it today, I think it’s that my internal identity is shifting – instead of always thinking about what I “should” be doing or…

  • Day 20: Shaping Discipline

    I slept in a bit this morning, then got up and walked out to my kitchen and hydrated. Then I decided to go go back to bed – I’m still fighting crap. I’m about 90%, but for some reason my body just won’t come back the last 10%. I’m still congested and have low energy…

  • Day 19: Shaping Discipline

    I got up late this morning – well comparatively anyway. I jumped in the shower at 5:11 and was out of the bathroom by 5:31. I did end up taking a mostly cold shower to make sure my wife had hot water. I’m thinking it’s going to become something regular. I had to cut a…

  • Day 18: Building Discipline

    I slept like shit last night – the joys of relationship troubles as you change and grow. I got out of bed on-time this morning and did a lot of stuff, but I kept my son home because wasn’t feeling well. I cut my reading a little short as well – I’m already way ahead…

  • Day 17: Shaping Discpline

    I slept in this morning – I was little drunk when I went to bed last night. But I still got up and went through everything. Doing things is surprisingly easy if you simply don’t accept anything else. I’m finding out how important it is to keep your word with yourself and how it builds…

  • Day 16: Shaping Discipline

    I slept in a little bit, but I was out of bed at 5:00 this morning. Really good for a Saturday – I got everything done and even surprised my wife when she got up and found my son was already dressed. It’s funny as I’ve been going through my morning routine I’ve been getting…

  • Day 15: Shaping Discipline

    I woke up this morning, but chose to stay in bed and rest for a little bit longer – gotta love having a child in daycare. But I got up by 5:15 and then get everything done even with my son waking up. I started reading Living the Martial Way today and after reading the…

  • Day 14: Shaping Discipline

    I’m wondering if I’m getting enough sleep – I keep waking up before my alarm – like 10 or 20 minutes. Generally that means I got in bed early enough the night before. I’m probably worrying over crap I shouldn’t be – just wondering why I’m fighting something else now that I just got over…

  • Day 13: Shaping Discipline

    It is a fight to get myself to do things I know I should be getting done. I need to put myself into whatever I’m doing fully. I got through my daily list, but I don’t like the end result – it was half-assed today as was my whole day. How to hold myself accountable…
