Wow! I quickly found that the hardest part of this was keeping the blog up to date! I find myself torn between the desire to keep a record and let others know of my progress… and the drive that these trials are for me alone to continue improving myself, thus seeming like a very private and personal matter. It’s not that I want to hide it, but rather I don’t want a feeling of obligation to be the motivation behind my actions, rather my inner desire and/or awareness…

I will post this one, but don’t plan at the moment to continue the practice.

As a final update: I finished the 30 days, and for workouts did very well… Overall working out every day was a breeze and enjoyable. No problem there. Drawing didn’t keep coming quite as easily. I love doing it, but I often get stuck on a drawing and feel like I need to finish it, but don’t really want to. And meditation I ended up converting to tiny breath meditations throughout the day instead of blocks of time.

Day11

Drawing - 20 more minutes of drawing on the abstract design for Briana’s birthday.
