Life Plan
• ∞
- Body (health, fitness, fun)
- Mind (learning, problem solving, working)
- Spirit (love, family, giving, oneness)
Body Goals- Eat well (whole foods, mostly plants, not too much) - Exercise regularly - Reduce or eliminate caffeine intake (if I need to stay awake, go for pure sugar instead)
Mind Goals- Continue to advance in my trade (web development & entrepreneurism) - Create my own revenue generating websites and become self-sustaining - Become competent in electronics & magnetism
Spirit Goals- Develop my ability to concentrate, imagine, & visualize (necessary for lucid dreaming, gnosis, etc) - Raise a family in our home & yet-to-be-acquired cottage. Build as much as possible with my own 2 hands. Travel with family as much a possible. - Develop my community, both in my neighbourhood, and with like-minded people in the city, by seeking out existing groups and creating new ones. Examples: Habitat for Humanity, St John’s Ambulance, Community Choir, CSETI Contact Teams, Paranormal Researchers
How will I work on all of this? Well, I’m sure the process will evolve quite a bit over time (especially when a kid/kids are added to the mix), but here’s my initial stab at it: Weekday Routine (work & personal project focus)6:30-07am - spirit - meditation to plan the day 07am-08am - spirit (reading for fun) OR body (workout) 08am-12pm - mind - work 12pm-01pm - body - healthy lunch sitting at the dining table 01pm-04pm - mind - work 04pm-05pm - body (workout) OR spirit (reading for fun) 05pm-06pm - body - healthy dinner sitting at the dining table 06pm-07pm - mind/spirit - electronics/magnetism 07pm-08pm - mind/spirit - electronics/magnetism 08pm-09pm - mind/spirit - personal web dev project 09pm-10pm - mind/spirit - personal web dev project 10pm-11pm - body/mind - watch TV or play video game to wind down 11-11:30pm - spirit - meditation to end the day (plan dreams/probs to solve, express gratitude) Saturday Routine (family focus)6:30-07am - spirit - meditation to plan the day 07am-08am - spirit (reading for fun) OR body (workout) 08am-12pm - spirit - chores/renovations 12pm-01pm - body - healthy lunch sitting at the dining table 01pm-04pm - spirit - chores/renovations 04pm-05pm - body (workout) OR spirit (reading for fun) 05pm-06pm - body - healthy dinner sitting at the dining table 06pm-11pm - spirit - family time 11-11:30pm - spirit - meditation to end the day (plan dreams/probs to solve, express gratitude) Sunday Routine (community focus)6:30-07am - spirit - meditation to plan the day 07am-08am - spirit (spiritual reading for fun) OR body (workout) 08am-11am - spirit - volunteer/community involvement 11am-12pm - spirit - church/zen/temple/community event 12pm-01pm - body - healthy lunch sitting at the dining table 01pm-04pm - spirit - volunteer/community involvement 04pm-05pm - body (workout) OR spirit (spiritual reading for fun) 05pm-06pm - body - healthy dinner sitting at the dining table 06pm-11pm - spirit - family time 11-11:30pm - spirit - meditation to end the day (plan dreams/probs to solve, express gratitude) Because I’m not specifying years, I am free to adjust plans accordingly. I don’t think it’s important that I plan specific goals so much as it is important that I set aside the time for everything I want to be able to do. If I can stick to the plan most of the time, I should be able to accomplish a great deal. Oddly, when I finished writing this, I went into a directory of images to find one for this post, and I stumbled upon a photo that was taken 10 years ago tonight! We had just finished making a “couch cushion fort” at Amy’s house, to hide in, because it was about to switch from 1999 to 2000, and everyone was mildly worried about the Y2K bug. Shortly after this photo was taken, we decided it would be better to be outside at midnight, so we went out into the corn field to hunt for sharks. Long story. To infinity, and beyond.
