The first post..bringing you up to speed
November 3, 2008The last few months have been amazing, so much had changed in my day-to-day life that for a while I was having a hard time telling left from right. (Moving to a new country, my student loan being delayed etc.)
What eventually got me back on track was my Moral Philosophy Lectures, I started thinking again.
Not wanting to bore you or me; here’s the short version of the story:
Spent a couple of weeks feeling way out of sync with what was going on, went to an “Animal Rights” lecture, ended up wandering aimlessly for a couple of hours after the lecture, and by the time I got back to my flat I had decided to try to become a vegetarian.
That was about 2 weeks ago, so this is in a way a documentation of my journey to fulfill my own goals to become a better person,
Last weekend I spent alot of time researching polyphasic sleep, reading many different bloggers attempts to adapt to the “Ubermann” pattern, (sleeping/napping 20 minutes- 6 times a day). Eventually I ended up at Steven Pavlina’s blog from when he successfully attempted “The Ubermann Schedule”. I was really impressed by his detailed diary, and as a result I enjoyed several hours of reading all the other articles on his site.
That has led me to where I am now; currently I am enthusiastically trying to become a vegetarian, trying to be an early riser (5.00 am), becoming more structured, doing what I can to play with my creativity (hence the blog) and trying to become more conscious about who I am (who I want to be).
This seems like a lot to take on at once (at least it does for me), but as I start implementing these into my life I feel as I’ve barely scratched the surface of what lies ahead…these personal experiences are what I want to write about.
(I will be attempting Ubermanns at the start of next semester!)
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope all is going well with your personal development. I will be sure to look out for your polyphasic posts.
