Taking action to build habits

Day 32

 

Did 15 minutes of meditation. I feel it's automatic enough to start a new habit next Monday. Currently I'm leaning towards learning the Spanish language.

Day 33

Did 25 minutes of meditation again.

Yesterday I also planned my next habit: learning Spanish. I'm going on a trip to Mexico in November. So it will be more fun if I can speak some Spanish.

Day 35

Tomorrow starting new habit of learning Spanish for 10 minutes a day.

Day 36

Did 30 minutes of meditation in the morning and 7 minutes of learning Spanish after dinner. Awesome to start a new habit. I thought it also would be a cool reward for myself if I learn Spanish consistently to allow myself to watch a Spanish movie every week :).

Thanks, the habit is a lot easier after 30 days that's why I added the second habit.

Day 37

Did 30 minutes of meditation this morning and nut also just finished 10 minutes of Spanish just now. It's fun to say very basic sentences shortly into the course.

Day 39 & 40

On day 39 I did 30 minutes of meditation in the morning. However I did 2 minutes of Spanish learning before I got interrupted by a girl I had over. Didn't do it anymore afterwards.

On day 40 I did 15 minutes of meditation on my birthday with girl sleeping over. I did 5 minutes of Spanish learning after birthday dinner with my family. I was just focused on maintaining the habit..

Day 41

It are hard days, because my mom slept over after the birthday party yesterday. So, I dida quick 5 minutes meditation session in the morning and 5 more later. Then I went to a festival where I also had dinner, so I did the Spanish upon arriving home for 9 minutes. So I sustained both habits. Hopefully I can fall back into my pattern now that things are getting more normal.

Day 50!

I completed 35 minutes of mediation today, thereby having a 50 day streak I'm really happy about.

I'm also continuing building my habit to learn Spanish. Still working on the language basics.
