1. Meditation
Continue doing meditation everyday. Focus on technique and application. Go deeper into my consciousness. Study and practice a couple of additional types of meditation.

2. Diet and Exercise. This is a new one and a huge one.
Diet: I will be overhauling my whole diet. I am going to eat at least a 50% raw food diet. Cut out at least 90% of processed food. No nervous system stimulating foods. 5-6 planned meals a day. I am going to eat more organic food. Keep my metabolism just right and steady. Will re-program my taste buds in the process too hehe.

Exercise: Go to the gym 6 days a week. I am going to begin slowly and consciously. Strengthen my core first. Fix my posture. Do a lot of stretches. And then learn the right form for exercises and do them. Start with small weights and build slowly.

3. Blogging/Writing
I will write 15 quality posts this month on the new blog I set up. My target is 1 post every other day. My goal is to improve my writing and see how I like blogging. I will focus on writing content that can really help people.

By the end of July, I should have enough feedback to set more informed goals for 2 and 3. Because with these I am venturing out into unknown waters but at the same time its exciting!

1. Week One: Walk. Anywhere. For one hour total, whether at once or in separate parts of the day.

2. Week Two: Continue the walking, add juice fasting.

3. Week Three: Continue the walking, fasting, and add strength training.

4. Week Four: Continue walking one hour, fasting, strength training, and break the fast some time in August - by going raw.

5. During the entire month, set aside some time each week to meditating,
donating to charity all my Goodwill boxes, and either writing or typing my affirmations.

1. Wake up every day when I choose to and not when I feel I have to.
2. Finish one of the movies I'm working on.
3. Figure out how to play some songs on a small one-handed flute while simultaneously playing a video game.
4. Find a bunch of stores to play this flute in [around a corner out of sight] and then as I step out, feign confusion to where the music was coming from.
5. Do more things that probably shouldn't be listed in a public forum.

I have been wanting to do another 30-day trial of non-drinking (alcohol of course) for a while, so now is as good as ever.
For 30 days I will not consume any alcoholic beverages.

I would just like to survive turning 40 tomorrow!

I never had any idea how this would upset me. Milestone birthdays are always a wake up call, but this one has knocked me for 6. Particularly the fact that I'm still single and don't own a house.

Why should that matter so much?? Sorry, I've hijacked this thread. I'll go get my slippers and sweet sherry

This just in.

Ceros' goals for the next 30 days:

1) Maintain my new diet infallibly for four weeks and two days.

2) This is a subset of (1), but it's so important to me that I made it into an extra goal: Abstain from sweets and products with processed sugar for 30 days.

3) Develop an exercise regime -> Whatever the hell that means.
