If you fail 1 or 2 then make it a target to nail it next time, point is your making progress, post about it and be proud for it, you'll gain a little self gratification and then when looking back at it in a few weeks you can think to yourself, fuck me I actually dragged myself out of that mindset, rather than just seeing an endless list of promises to yourself.

Had 3 prices of fruit so far today

SAMs backed out from meditation but I'm not going to let that put me off. I'm going to make sure I stick to my list and attend!

Meeting up with him afterwards for a catch up which I'm looking forward to.

You can meditate by yourself, probably easier too as you dont have to travel etc.

Just sit there and observe your breath, body and thoughts.

I want to be around like minded people for advice and to help me see how this works. I want a nice environment to do it in

I look a lot like a monk to be fair haha

A guy from my mums company who is based down south is coming to the manchester office for two days and I've found out that he has his own NLp company and he's a master NLP practitioner. I'm thinking about going for a pint with him because he stays in a hotel on his own to give him some company and have a general chat about NLP and try to understand what it actually is.

What do you guys think?

Just got to meditation and sat in the waiting room and the hottest girl I've ever seen is here!!!

It's such a mix of people attending

What's her name?

Went to meditation last night and it was quality. It was part one of a two part introduction session.

Sam couldn't make it so I went on my own, when I arrived I was shocked at the range of people who attended. Business men, fit birds, old people all sorts.
We went upstairs into one of the meditation rooms and took our shoes off and grabbed a mat and a few pillows. We were told to make ourself comfortable and started with a full body scan.

The full body scan started with the teacher getting us to be aware of our body and focus on differs parts. He wanted up to focus on how our clothes felt as we were breathing and use our mind to work around the legs, arms, head, chest and neck and identify how each part felt.

I felt a tingling sensation throughout my body that I had never experienced before. I went numb and really did feel present.

We then did a breathing type of meditation. It had 4 steps -

1) breath in and out and after each breathe start counting to 1

2) start counting to 10 at the start of each breathe

3) just pay attention to your breathe

4) pay attention to how the breathe feels entering and exiting your mouth.

Everytime a thought pops into your head you just focus on the step that your on. I swear I had never felt so present in my life. The teacher did another full body scan just to bring us all back around. I felt amazing.

I went to meet Sam for a catch up and I bumped into so girls I've known for ages and they even said to me that I seemed like a different man. I don't know if I was high on life because of the meditation or if it was just because I was bussing that I had taken action.


List for today

1) 5 pieces of fruit

2) walk home from the train station and not get a lift

3) write and record my next round in mine and kowalski audio rap battle

4) stay away from bread

I also need to add onto today's list - 20 minutes of meditation

Awesome man, I've wanted to try meditation for a while but had previously dismissed it as mumbo jumbo non-sense. How many of you guys try it and how does it work for you?
