At my 25th moment

I just turned 24 fifteen days ago and let me just say that I am blessed beyond words. I have no children (by choice and the grace of God, I used to practice in high school), I'm in a graduate program, I work with an amazingly talented population of children, I have been blessed with many opportunities to get my name out professionally and I couldn't be more happy about that. But I have one major problem or character flaw, I have minimal discipline in all aspects of my life. I am going to improve that in this 24th year of life. Majorly I need to carve out my time and dedicate it to the things that are truly are important and vital to my success professionally and personally.
I have a rough list of things that are hindered due to lack of discipline: writing/research, journaling and meditating, exercising and eating healthier, my finances, my sleep, and of course school. I have a few ideas of how to tackle a few of these which will effect all of them positively. I have already started a few. Everyday I write down what I really, really, really want, my happiest moment that day and how I am feeling about my mantra. My current mantra is "Love will win". This is truly great for me because I am so quick to anger and think negatively and consciously deciding to pick positivity and love or negativity and anger will truly do wonders for me personally in my interactions with those I love and have in my space. I am currently finishing up the end of my semester and I am not doing well at setting out time every week for my research. I am choosing Tuesdays as my day to work for 3 hours on something related to my thesis. Not saying that I won't also work on other days but those three hours on Tuesdays are just for that. I'm working on disciplining myself to work out in the morning and at night. This will be a challenge because when I don't see results I get discouraged but I have been telling myself that this is to exert tons of negative energy that happens throughout the day and sexual tension that I will have because I am currently not sexually active. In the last two weeks I have cut down on my eating outside of my home. I am continuing to try new things for a more balanced and healthy diet. I do need to get back to drinking my 64oz of water a day. Finally, for my finances I'm going to fix my car and save for the big purchases I want. I cut out some personal maintenance like my hair and nails because I can do them myself and I always have a problem with the way they look anyway. I also lowered my cable bill, decreased my netflix account and I am 4 payments away from being done paying for my car warranty. I also reduced my hours at work so that I would have energy to do all these things after working most of the day.
But in a couple weeks I will update progress with my quest to increase my discipline by 50% by May 19, 2012. I picked that date because it will be 2 years since I uprooted my life to Las Vegas.

Until then,
Ms. Procrastinator
