Here are the Baby Steps that were planned
and the progress that was made.

Baby Step: LAUNCH THE ROAD TRIP SHOW

Didn’t happen.

I’m having too many problems/challenges with WordPress — must wait for my friend Kcrystina to help me install the latest version.

Because there’s no way I’m going to set up PodPress — a podcasting plug-in — when I’m already having plug-in problems.

So for the time being — not knowing when I’ll be getting together with my tech friend — I can’t even launch a launch date!

LESSONS LEARNED: Patience. Patience. Patience. Letting go. Concentrating/working on other projects while waiting to update WordPress (drawing, writing my memoirs, administrative work for my housing co-op, etc.). Most important of all: Not beating myself up for not reaching — yet again! — this important weekly goal.

Baby Step: 1-HOUR MORNING WALK EACH DAY
No more than 1 hour — from 8 to 9.

I tried walking for only 1 hour, but realized my body needs more. I’ve been having mostly 2-hour walks each morning, though on one occasion, a 90-minute walk at a faster pace seemed to do the trick. Maybe that’s the answer: to speed it up a bit.

I missed 2 days for personal family reasons. In the future, if I can’t walk in the morning, I’ll walk later on in the day instead of not walking at all. Lesson learned!

Baby Step: MEDITATE

My mind is a never-ending highway where fast and frantic traffic never stops. Meditation is quite a challenge!

But I want to get better at it. I know how important it is. I will become good at it… one second at a time. I noticed that music helps me calm the traffic in my head; I’ll check out my library for meditation CDs.

CONCLUSION

With all the delays in reaching my
most important goal this month…

I hope I won’t turn into
THE BABY STEP MONSTER!

(see you tomorrow)

   Hi Oza! It’s my first time here and I have no clue about the roadtrip show, but I like the 1 hour morning walk and meditation. Meditation is something that I also do from time to time. Can’t really walk in the morning coz that’s the time I travel other dimensions (like Looney Tunes) when I sleep, but I think it would be fun. Your pictures give me the impression that you’re a cool person to hang out with. Hence, I’ll be returning to your blog whenever I get the chance. =)

   Peace and respect,
   Ryhen
