Mindset: Curious. I took a little time last night to review and read more about the whole "Huberman" routine, which was something that crossed my path a while back and which I've found validating and challenging and reinforcing. I have a 'light panel' I use for waking. I try not to jump out of bed now, but I don't always practice avoiding technology. I added in the cold showers with good results. I'mgetting sunlight now, using this wireless keyboard paired with my iPhone to journal from the patio as the fragmented rays of rising mourning sunlight filter through the leaves on the trees lining our backyard. I think it all makes perfect ends and returning to intermittent fasting is an additional goal. Our dog walks don't really count as they're more dog led strolls, but I may take the reigns (leash) on hat and up hte pace too. Looking back over the years of journaling, I had a range of efforts capturing various aspects of mood and accomplishments which wove into more of a narrative, but with this effort I might return to some morning and nightly assessments of mood, outlook, success rankings, maybe even counts of meditations and such. Just it see trends.
Goals: My goal today is to be free from tech as I spend the am at Jikoji helping the residents with the Zazenkai event. I'll return mid-day, and we have dinner plans, which I'll work to eat well and manage alcohol consumption.
Anticipation: Dinner plans and alcohol consumption. ;-)
Wants: I feel like I'm inching along, and I want to start footing along. I also know well how my relative 'stall' in the desired dropping of a mere 10 lbs is my failure to apply my intentions to my actions. Once it's locked into daily thought it's unstoppable, but it's not sticking yet. I need to make it stick. I think the return to daily tracking will help.
