Program

Since today I am very sensible and all I can do is read people's blog, I got to Silvia's and I've got inspired by a movie she posted.

It got in my hands exactly but exactly in the right moment after a period of excesses and no personal effectiveness.

So, in this perspective I am taking some new commitments to myself for the next 30 days...so from 5  August to 3 September included :

• I will read  at least one article / news per day , even if I am bored and not interested
• I will read at least 5 pages from my books / day , even if I am tired and not in the mood
• I will draw everyday even if very little 
• I will write a post on my blog everyday , containing a learning point or something that I am thinking about, even if  I  have the impression I don't have any ideas
• I will do one nice thing for a friend/someone close , even if it's just saying hi or listening 
• I will wake up in the moment that my clock rings , and not postpone the moment , even if I am very tired (if that is the case I will just put the clock 10-20 later when I will go to sleep)
• I will put all the things that I am using back to their places (within the next 30 min max), even if I am on  the rush, tired, not in the mood 

Since I am very kind with myself and I am always pushing my limits to unhealthy levels, 
I will set to myself the following limits :

• never overcome in one month the limit of 100 euros for shopping 
• shopping includes : clothes, shoes, bags, accessories, cosmetics that I don't die without (like perfume and  cremes )
• shopping does not include : food, stuff needed in the house, cosmetics that are a must 
• no exceptions excepted what so ever, no matter how nice the things are or how much I think that I need them 
• money do not report from a month to another...so I will have the 100 euros credit just for one month 
• I will not go out more than in 3 days / week 
• reasons : I loose time if it's more than this , I loose money, I don't give time to myself, I am not efficient and I don't concentrate on what is really important
• going out includes : going to  a bar , pub, social gatherings 
• going out does not include : making sports, taking a walk, shopping , other administrative things
• exceptions : when my parents or friends will come to me  I will join them in whatever they want to do 
• I will never be on minus again on my bank card
• even if this month it's hard, in next months I will always check my finances and plan in order to be sustainable and not get depressed cause I don't have any money anymore
• exceptions : if  I will join a trip outside the country - traveling being the only thing that I believe worth spending 
• Never let a week pass without at least 2 days of sports / movement / message 
• sports means : swimming, running, making inside exercises, massage, ping pong, walking more than 1 hour, biking, fitness, etc 
• even if I am tired, not in the mood, don't want to go down again the 7 floors , doing something else, it's cold outside, being in another country/city , there is always the possibility of making inside exercises or a massage 
• no exceptions permitted

That is it for now....they are enough ...now I will make a tracking list in order to track all my changes and after 15 days I am allowed to  add other things to my list. Now I have to focus on these .

Good luck Cris, I know you can do it and it's very very good for your goals and your discipline.
