Basic rules, norms and limits

 

 

 

I told you yesterday I really need to put more structure into my life.

More rules.

More fixed things.

Some rituals to keep holding on to.

 

 

 

So here is list of things I will do in the future,

(sorted by category):

 

 

 

 

Super addiction:

 

 

• Maximum 3 hours (!) of Facebook per day.

Travelling and being on the mobile counts.

(This will also mean reducing the time spent on stupid FB games.)

 

• Reduce internet, increase contact IRL.

• Maximum 3 "Red Bull" or other energy drinks a week.

• Retake writing novels. Work on them whenever I have time (e.g. time saved at FB).

• Control my budget. Have a rough budget plan. Don't go into minus again.

• Take medication when I really feel out of balance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Food:

 

• Write down exactly what I have eaten 

(phone cam and Fitness Pal app help to not forget).

• Try eating more and more fruits and veggies. Stay vegan.

 

• Try eating in nice company at midday, whenever possible.

• Don't buy "Bullshit stuff" except for the few things explicitly allowed

(cookie with the tea, dark chocolate or vegan chocolate/syrup on fruit,

some soletti to snack, cashews to throw into meals,

and a pack of wasabi peanuts once a week.)

 

Put all other "danger items" in the FOR EVERYONE drawer. Not into my own!!!

 

 

 

 

Exercise:

 

• Minimum 30 min. of exercise EVERY DAY.

Walking counts if it is more than my everyday "go to the bus" routine.

 

• Do "Wajogking" (walk, jog slowly, walk, jog, walk, jog slowly, walk)

• Dance & Sing

• Go to Fitness center for a quick&easy workout twice a week

(one workday and once during the weekend).

 

 

 

 

 

Stress Management:

 

 

• LIGHTS OUT at midnight during workdays. No discussion.

And even if I can't sleep, NO turning on the computer or checking the phone.

 

• Every extra hour of sleep (gone to sleep earlier than midnight)

will mean more calm on the next day, plus an ounce of dark chocolate or equal treat.

 

• Take a warm relax bath once a week, with face mask, self-pedicure and massage.

Read "Savitri" while in the bath.

 

• Stroke the cat in the Pro Mente V house any time I'm there (good for my psyche).

• Sleep a siesta from 16:00 - 17:30 on weeks with morning shift.

OBLIGATORY.

Alternatively, if I can't sleep - writing. Not on computer, but in bed with my paperblank.

 

• Light an incense stick every day before settling to bed.

• Do a short surya namaskar (my own plump adaption, anyway) when getting up in the morning.

 

 

 

Love & Support:

 

• Contact with parents (difficult personalities...): gimme and ya'llreceive.

I don't call if they don't, I don't go home unless they come visiting me too.

 

• Get support from my friends. Connect myself when feeling down
• (call, visit, whatsapp, online).

• Act against isolation. Break down the wall. Don't hide to binge.

• Apply affirming tonic and Aura-Soma every day (self-love).

Show them.

 

And then,

losing weight will REALLY be

 

 

the lightest thing.
