Day 9 - i sat down and came up with some "tenets," or guiding principles. The original list was over 25 items deep. i narrowed it down to 10 "10ets." In no particular order:
- Drink more water than wine (or juice, coffee, soda, beer, etc)
- Actively seek ways to be of assistance
- Practice being in the present moment. "Where am I? Here I am."
- Do things today that my future self will be thankful for
- Apply the 80/20 rule as often as possible
- Consciously direct the flow of money in my life
- Take responsibility for my "roles" (family member, dog owner, employee, etc)
- Beat the sun (wake before sunrise)
- See the good -- Be the good
- Leave [it] better than i found it.
Day 10 - Prepped chicken noodle soup so that I'd have an easy, hot meal when i got home from work. Add chunks of chicken breasts, celery, carrots, chicken broth, salt and pepper, and whatever else you'd like. Cook on low for at least 8 hours. Cook noodles separately and add just before serving.
Day 11 - i drank too much the night before and stayed up late. the result was that i slept in and didn't have time to do anything but prepare to go to work. (boo! ME)
Day 12 - this post! (hey, it counts...)
