Not sure what happened to the last few days but we shall continue anyway.....

Impromtu drinks with John last night, really enjoyed myself..  Very tired yesterday but things going well at work.  A few low level anxieties but nothing that cant be sorted.  Drinks at lunch time with the boys also good fun.

Day 26

Bit of an up and down weekend but pushing hard to get to feeling positive again.  Put a new spreadsheet together and going to tick off each task as I do them each dday for the next few months.

Doing yoga each morning and started the Buff Dudes stuff again.  Thinking about starting to run again when the mornings are a bit brighter.  We will see

Good stuff with Kodi to try on the Firestick soon but that's pretty cool!!

Today I am grateful for:-

A peaceful Sunday
Messing about in the woods
Nice Sunday Dinner
Getting up early

Day 24

After a huge row with the wife on Wednesday I was very low in the morning. Spoke to her during work and it softened things between us. 

Had a good laugh with the guys at work in the pub last night. Came home drunk but much happier. 

Got up early and messed about with our new Kindle Fire 

Today I am grateful for

Didn't do any Miracle Morning stuff this morning and left for work very late.

Glad to get Fuze project t done and good beers out last night. 

Day 19

So let's start again!

Not done any Miracle Morning Tasks today.  Feeling quite low and my body is aching but I am looking forward to a day with my boy, going to the cinema with him today and I have positive plans to start saving some money each month and that will bring about its own confidence

So for today :-

Today I am grateful for

Getting back in the game
My lovely family
Our comfortable home
Getting the Fuze project completed
A weekend off of work

Day 18

Another bad day yesterday.  Some kind of flu and I spent most of the day in bed.  Shouting in the morning and short tempered before I finally gave up and went to bed.

A lot of sleep helped though and I am kind of angry with myself and I guess betting myself up about my behaviour.  In a way it is interesting that this Miracle Morning is one step forwards and two steps back for me.

The positive in this though is once you hit rock bottom the only way is up!

I need to find the motivation to get things back on track!!

Day 17

It has been a tough couple of days and although I feel tired and a little downhearted it has focused my attention on getting things back to a good place.  It has made me plan for next month when I plan to put back some of the daily tasks that I was doing even before I started the Miracle Morning.

The fact is that there is a great deal of good in my life and the anger and anxiety I feel is coming from within me not from my circumstances and therefore is within my control.

Although it is hard to get into healthy routines |I have seen previously the benefits in my life of doing these things and so need to get back to them.

Next month will also be about saving money and not wasting it so I have a clear objective in terms of what I need to do and this time I need to stay focused on my money otherwise things cannot improve in my finances.

Today I am grateful for

Fuze project going well
An early night
A calm house
The love of my wife
My wonderful children

Day 16

Yesterday was horrendous.  One bad thing seemed to happen after another and I ended up having a huge screaming match with my wife who now is hurt and distant because of it.  I discovered yesterday that my finances are in a horrendous mess and I have to be taking on additional costs because of problems with my teeth (another unattended problem)  I am feeling overwhelmed and not sure at all how I am going to get beyond these problems but I am clear that somehow I need to change things in my life and get back to a place where I feel confident and capable to live the life I truly deserve.

So again I reset things and feel like I am starting at day one again.

Today I am grateful for

Having the opportunity to start again
The ability to recommit
The ability to plan and change what needs to be changed
Having Gods help when I ask for it
The ability to change my perspective

Day 15

Another void day :(

Day 14

Another day missed.  

Day 14

I ended up getting to sleep quite late but woke up in good time this morning with a much greater intent.  I sorted out my workout area yesterday and did my first full workout since before Christmas.  I made my list of things I want to get each day by adding in some additional things in addition to the Miracle Morning tasks and got them all done before I got in the bath this morning.

Although I was quite grumpy yesterday I feel like a different person today.

Today I am grateful for

A fresh start
Having everything I need
The chance to be more healthy
Fuze Project going well
Getting everything done this morning

Day 13

Wasn't such a great day today. Can't really say why but have been very snappy today. My wife was really getting on my nerves and found her to be quite shouty to and although we didn't argue there were a few harsh exchanges between us. 

Felt quite tired most of today and spent a lot of it by myself which suited me really. I did a lot of YouTube videos today and listed a couple of things on EBay today which was good. So some good did come out of today. 

I feel a bit embarrassed and sorry for being so grumpy with the kids. They get the butt end of things sometimes which is a shame and leaves me feeling quite sad. 

Going to try a bit harder to get back into more positive habits as it does help a lot with my moods. 

Thankfully they are all quite forgiving and to be honest are used to my moods. I suppose we all have off days and take it out on those around us without really meaning to. 

Today I am grateful for

Spending time with mum yesterday

Having my YouTube channel

Having forgiving kids and wife

Finding positive things even on a bad day

A fresh start tomorrow 

Day 12

After missing yesterday it was more of a challenge to knuckle down and get this done. 

In the end I didn't get time until the early afternoon before I could slip away upstairs and do my meditation and visualisation. Didn't quite manage my affirmations today and might need t get time to do any reading but might get some time as I go to bed

Today I am grateful for:-

The weekend

Getting in well with the wife

Things going well at work

My YouTube channel

New CB radios to review

Day 11

I missed this day

I had a work party the night before and what with getting to bed late and waking up with a killer headache. I just couldn't manage my Miracle Morning 

Day 10

Had a good start to the morning but got quite angry with something on the way to work.  Got in nice and early but feeling quite pressured t work today and yesterday. 

Felt quite unwell on the way home. Got a bit cross with Thomas and Monica so went upstairs to stop things from getting worse. Really enjoyed laying in the quiet. 

The kids got washed and in their night clothes without more yelling and they both came in to see me to give me hugs and kisses.  

Went down for dinner and felt a lot better after I'd had something to eat. Not a great day though really. 

Tomorrow should be better though and I'm going to our awards party tomorrow night do I hope that will be fun. 

Today I am grateful for

Getting back into CB plans

YouTube channel

Cb radio blog doing well

Kisses from Tom and Nancy

Monica being quite caring tonight

Day 9

I work really easily this morning. I felt really positive and happy and quickly got down to my Miracle Morning. 

Meditation and visualisation were done quickly so did my affirmations whilst in the garden. I was bathed and ready by 7am and had spare time to do my eBay bits as well as my daily post for my cb radio blog. 

I left for work early and am relaxed and ready for the day ahead as I write this on the way to work. 

I had Tommy in bed with me last night and as I was cleansing my heart chakra as my evening meditation I really swelled up with love for him as he lay next to me looking so sweet. I couldn't help but kiss him a couple of times on the forehead as he slept. 

Today I am grateful for

Getting up early

Having a peaceful morning

Being ready to leave early

Feeling positive

Fuze project going really well

Day 8

Got up well this morning and enjoyed my Miracle Morning. A few issues getting to work this morning but had a chance to listen to the new mix I've done and listen to the audio book im reading at the moment. 

Felt quite good this morning but some anxiety still with things going wrong st work. The good news though it s things are going really well with the Fuze project. 

Might need to skip going to Cornwall but there's s chance we can go later in the week. 

Today I am grateful for

Payday

Selling some CB Radios

No arguing at home

Good meeting with Stuart

Nice calm evening 

Day 7

Stayed up quite late on Saturday night but enjoyed the quietness of the night and having the TV to myself. 

I was hoping to get my Miracle Morning done before anyone got up but Thomas was the first up after me this morning. 

I still managed to get my MM bits done. Mostly in the morning but this bit I'm doing now later in the evening

I've not really done any exercise this week other than walking to and from the tube station. That's 30 mins of walking though so I do see that it counts. 

I will get more into the excercise once it warms up in the garage a bit. Then I can get back into the weights which I was quite enjoying. 


 Today I am Grateful for

The weekend
Quiet Sunday
Nice Sunday dinner
Getting in with Monica
Having a lovely family home 

Looking forward to an early night 

Day 6

Its been pretty tough getting up early this week but looking back at the last few days I've definitely been in a better mood.  Some of the tasks feel strange and it takes a little bit of discipline to get them done but I do already feel perhaps a slight benefit from it.

I was a bit disappointed by a couple of things at work but looking at it again I've kind of allowed myself to over react a bit and hung on to these negative thoughts instead of just letting them go. Stuff  at work always sorts itself out so I would do myself a favour to actively avoid these patterns of negative thoughts.

We had a date night last night and had a lovely evening at our local cinema.  Its really nice that we are getting on well at the moment.  I love being part of such a lovely little family.  Although our house is a ad house sometimes and it has its share of shouting and arguments, most of the time its a quiet and cosy house with everyone lounging around and getting along.  I really am a very blessed individual and I could focus more n the things I am grateful for. 


 Today I am Grateful for

A great week at work
Glad its Friday
Fuze project going well
Date night
Relaxing evening

Day 5

Another successful day at work yesterday and I'm feeling good that the Fuze project is going so well.  I've been drinking quite a lot in recent weeks but it is creating a better team spirit with the other guys.  There was a leaving party at the Tom Cribb last night so got very drunk and enjoyed myself.  It was a bit of a struggle to get home but I made it and ended up getting to bed quite late.

I managed to get up about 6am and although I felt very rough I did get my Miracle Morning done so I'm pleased about that.  Things are going quite well at the moment.  I'm also looking forward to a date night tonight and I think it will be a good movie to go and see.  I've not been to this cinema since it changed hands so I'm interested to see what its like.


 Today I am Grateful for

 Being friends with John and Clive
Theres a good team spirit at work
Fuze project is all on track
Got paid today!
Some good rigs on Ebay this week

Day 4

I had trouble getting to sleep the other night and ended up staying up until 2am.  I still managed to gget up at 6.30am and do my Miracle morning although I was quite tired for most of the day.  I got a bit of an earlier night last night and had a good nights sleep.  This morning I managed to get up at 6am so had a bit more time this morning.

I do feel a bit rushed to try and get it all done before the house wakes up so I will try and get to bed a bit earlier so that I can get up earlier.  This should help as I start to do my daily workouts as I do tend to eat into the time allotted too quickly.  I suppose it will get easier as I do more.  I am really enjoying it though and I feel a lot more positive in the last few days.

I feel asleep on the tube on the way home and had trouble getting to sleep so woke up slightly later than usual.  I've still managed to ge my Miricale Morning tasks done and feel quite bright and happy this morning.


Today I am Grateful for

Fuze project going well
Getting on well with the team
A nice warm house

Day 3

It was another good day yesterday.  Work is going well and I am getting on with everyone.  It was good to have lunch with Anish and I had good meetings with Stuart and Adrian.  Things are all going in the right direction.

I feel asleep on the tube on the way home and had trouble getting to sleep so woke up slightly later than usual.  I've still managed to ge my Miricale Morning tasks done and feel quite bright and happy this morning.


Today I am Grateful for

Day 2

Yesterday was a really good day.  Lots of positive things happened and I feel more confident and capable.  I went to bed quite early last night and was up again at 5.30 this morning.  I've enjoyed my morning coffee and done my five minutes each of meditation, visualisation and affirmations.

 There is a little anxiety about work projects but I am going to use that as excitement and use it to motivate myself to do the bits this week that need doing at work.  I will be getting in to work earlier than usual so I know I will get a lot done today


Today I am Grateful for

Fuze training going well
Cutover date agreed
My lovely family
Just enough money in the bank
Starting the Miracle Morning

Day 1

So today is the first day of my own 30 day Miracle Morning challenge.  I woke especially early this morning and was ready to start on time.  I used YouTube to find both my meditation, visualisation and affirmation tracks which were easy to find. 

I plan to do my reading on the way to work and cant fit my exercise in until later today but I will make sure it gets done.  Although I've done some of these things before I haven't really set myself a challenge as big as this before.

I certainly don't feel as fretful and anxious as I useally do in the mornings and I am going to try and hold on to this feeling of calmness for the whole day.

I know its only at one but I feel committed and ready to take it on.      

Today I am grateful for:-

Getting over our arguments
A restful night
Tommys birthday party
Having a warm home
Living in a house full of love


I think today is going to be a good day!
