Today I went jogging early in the morning, before work. I give myself a round of applause for this.

Recently, I have not exactly been very regular about exercise. Anyway, I did my Day 3 IM/LOA while jogging.

For those who haven't tried it before, do give it a go. You can do IM/LOA while swimming too. One advantage of this approach is that as you exercise, you're already burning off stress, excess nervous energy etc. That means you're naturally clearing off your negative emotions and moving into a more positive emotional state.

My theme for today's IM session is "a typical day in my life, 2 to 4 months from now". As I jogged, I used words and images to mentally describe that typical day to myself. (Of course, when I say "typical day in my life", I mean a typical day in my LOA-improved life, 2 to 4 months from now).

I planned to visualise an entire day (from morning to night). However, I only managed to visualise the day, from morning to 6 pm, before I finished my jog. I'll do the rest another time.

These are some things which I thought / visualised about:

1. waking up early, before everyone else

2. going for a jog, enjoying the jog

3. imagining myself jogging in a certain beautiful park (the park is not so close to my home, so if I actually jog there and back, I must have become quite fit)

4. kissing my wife and kids goodbye, before going to work

5. listening to my favourite music while on the train

6. in the office, I sit at my clean, tidy desk. I organise a few things, incidentally picking up and looking at my latest salary statement (which shows a significant increase in the NUMBER

)

7. imagining that I've already been promoted. I have bigger responsibilities, but I feel calm and focused about them.

8. imagining myself very efficient at work, calmly and steadily clearing up my work in one solid morning

9. going for a long, leisurely lunch alone in a quiet, peaceful cafe. I eat lunch while reading an enjoyable book

10. after lunch, helping my colleagues with their work (they come to me because I'm the expert)

11. free time in the late afternoon, I update my personal blogs while in the office

12. 6 pm sharp, I leave office

-------

Well at this point I finished my jog. Therefore I didn't manifest what happens after 6 pm. Will continue another day.
