Hey there!

It's day four of my Integrity experiment and I’m liking what I’m seeing. 

I can already tell that my workouts are more intense and I even feel stronger and thinner (could be a head thing but I really feel it!)
 

My daily meditation, which is one of the most essential aspects of my experiment is already proving fruitful.  I have been consistent, even getting up before our already very early trips to the gym, and low and behold I am actually receiving guidance in the form of inspired action!

One of those inspired actions is to find an energy practice (spiritual practice.)  This is not the first time I have had this idea but as part of my experiment I am committing to finding a mentor in this area in the next 26 days (ohhhh, the pressure is on now!)

Below I have also included parameters around some of the more obvious pieces of my experiment.  I figured I would get them out into the world as it will support me in being accountable. If you happen to see me out and about blatantly violating any of the below in the next 30 days, you are welcome to call me on it.

So far, I haven’t been perfect, and that’s ok.

I am realizing that getting my 7 hours of sleep with a 5 am wakeup is going to take some extra figuring. And the lovely 0 calorie, no aspartame sparkling green tea from Whole Foods that Jeff discovered, while it meets my requirements,  invariably causes me to want to take a nap. That’s not going to cut it.

There are many moments of integrity to govern that are not related to any of the items listed below.  In those moments I have been checking my thinking and behavior to my original vision or asking the simple question “Is this in alignment with my highest self?”  Based on the answer I make the next choice.

One foot in front of the other I am climbing a ladder to my highest self.  It’s not all sparkle and wonder but it feels solid and true.
 

With love,

Joelle

   [...] that’s it.  My 7 hours of sleep are non-negotiable.  Well, actually the whole list is non-negotiable for the next 30 days but somehow I figured that losing sleep to get up for [...]
