So, if I were to take 5 minutes in the morning, that would mean I’d have to wake up five minutes earlier so I didn’t miss out on five minutes of my workout. Right?

Caren, I do know about that site, thanks to David Jackson…one of the people who leaves comments here a lot. Thanks for posting it though!

PTC, Glad you’re listening to Holosync. I hope it helps. DEFINITELY take that 60 seconds in the morning. You can build up to 5 minutes. Just stop for that moment and say a prayer or do something to begin shifting the energy of driven-ness that compels you to tell yourself you’re not doing enough…

Hey Steve! Thanks for the mention! I commented on your blog yesterday…

Marty, Thanks for reading my blog each morning as part of your ritual… and you continue to read it even though I give you so much grief for your lack of cell phone prowess!

ChickiePam, I wasn’t aware there were blogs about chickens! And I can totally see you writing one of those! Thanks for all of your thoughts. All I would say is go slow and reward yourself often! If you want to get regular updates on this, you’ll have to talk to Marty to see how she did it! (I didn’t know you could get an email notification. All I know about is RSS Feeds… read about them in my blog called “You Can Subscribe to this Blog.” Click on the word “Archives” in the side bar…you’ll see it listed.)

Delmar, Yes, indeed…this did get lots of responses. But I’ll bet ALL of them were written after noon!

So organization is something that I could use in my life. I’m actually pretty organized by nature, but I’ve lately been in a space of “reacting” to everything as a result of a period of total chaos in my life. (You know me, so you know about the chaos and I’m sure you’ve seen the disorganization in action!) I’m ready to become more proactive, so your blog is very timely. Most days I take care of my youngest child’s chaffeur needs and my critters before I do email, and I”ve recently had days where I actually did not check it at all! And I’ve also decided that just because the phone rings does not mean that I must answer it! This is very major stuff!

I’m working on taking time to schedule my day instead of getting out of bed at the last minute and jumping in on the run. It works better for me to set my intent at night just before I go to bed.

At the beginning of the summer, I purchased a bistro set for my porch. I was enjoying my morning coffee there…until high blood pressure encouraged me to quit the coffee. (Sighing dramatically because I really like whole routine of perking the coffee, adding the cream and sugar and then drinking the coffee while sitting on the porch and looking out over my “hacienda”. Yes, I perk it. And why does coffee have to raise blood pressure anyway?!) So now that my blood pressure is under control, I’m considering using decaf and the routine of setting the pace for the day. I’ll have to read further about the neon index cards. They might just help, too.

So do I get automatic updates, now? I’ll have to wait and see.

Also, Rinnie heard your “Right Outta Nowhere” playing and ran into the room to see if I was cleaning. Wonder where that came from….No, I’m not guilty of playing loud music and singing and dancing while cleaning…nope, not me!

i have a reason to check my email before noon that trumps all those reasons. my email tells me if you have a new blog. reading your blogs is a special part of my early morning ritual – along with prayer and meditation and a little yoga!

the trick is to use self-restraint and not read any new emails from friends when i’m checking for new christine kane blogs.

Keep up the good work!
