I am addicted to the internet and I eat too many biscuits. I am incredibly scattered, constantly distracted, never in the moment, lack focus, have too many plans and ideas and things I want to do and things I should do and never actually do any of them and I feel like I can?t move forward with things. I too often shout at my children and husband, have a very short fuse, and rage at inanimate objects. I have lots of minor aches and pains, backaches and digestive issues. I can never find anything when I?m leaving the house and keep losing things all together, which is driving my DH to distraction.
I have many good intentions but not much follow through. So now I am starting with this one small thing.
Starting a week on Monday, I will do 11 minutes of yoga a day every day for 40 days.
I am following the principles of Starting Small, and doing One Thing at a Time. I read "The Power of Less" by Leo Babauta and was inspired and then overwhelmed. But after talking to my friend Francine, who is a yoga teacher, on Monday night, I feel I know where to start.
I know I should address things and change things one thing at a time. I am starting with yoga and nothing else. Yoga will be my One Thing for the next 40 days, and hopefully completing this challenge will enable me to focus better on One Thing at a
Time after that.
I am declaring this here for myself and anyone who's interested, and will post on my progress, here and on facebook. A public declaration helps with motivation!
Sorry this is so pompous sounding and self-involved. Now I must get off the computer!!
