Wisconsin is for lovers

I woke up at 7 pm today feeling pretty darn good. I walked downtown with the mindset to decide a few things.

Lastly, I decided to go for a walk in woods around Guelph this weekend to see the changing colour of the leaves (this means you too marlow).

Firstly, I decided I would like more structure. A structured schedule for me right now would mean allotting time for work on my thesis, TwitCritics, the gym, and I am starting to think meditation as well.

I often think, why don’t I meditate. I know that mediation can change the brain for the better, and can produce results in even a short period of time. Why then do I put off practicing something that will could be so profoundly important to my happiness? Am I afraid of the work involved? Am I just lazy? I plan to look up how to make a good mediation space and set up a little area of my bed room (away from the kitties) in order to practice. Hopefully having a space set aside for practice will mean that I actually do practice.

I was thinking that moving mediation practice to the morning would mean it would be more likely to happen. However, doing it right after waking up could mean falling asleep or just sleeping in and skipping the practice. At the end of the day I am extra lazy and tend to just lay on the couch and watch tv so I still think the morning is better.

This could be followed by breakfast then my walk to school where I could work from the library, grad lounge, or keg (depending on how busy the lib is and how much I crave nachos that day).

Being on campus all day working would mean I would have the motivation to take a break and go to the gym in the late afternoon. After the gym I could come home and relax a bit then come to a cafe later that night to do a bit more work on my thesis or TwitCritics or just socialize in the evening before bed.

I think that’s about all I have to say for this post. TTYL

P.S. I downloaded a bunch of audio books and am gonna start listening to them while I work. Any suggestions for books are very welcome.
