We will have a section called Challenge.

Every day at the end of the day you can challenge yourself for tomorrow and check what you are capable of.

Oh,

And one more thing.

You can miss meditation only three times.

The rule you previously accepted is to meditate once in the morning and once in the evening.

If you happen to miss one of these two meditations,

Consider it as one missed session.

If you miss three times,

It's game over.

You will self-delete and may choose to start over.

If you agree,

Please write below,

On this same page of day one.

Write the options that you can commit to for tomorrow.

This can be one or all eleven options,

Depending on your strength and state of mind,

What you are capable of.

Option one,

I will use my phone only for the purpose of this meditation.

Option two,

I will disconnect from all social media.

Option three,

I will refrain from listening to music.

Option four,

I will abstain from watching any movies,

Including those rated plus 18.

Option five,

I will refrain from consuming tea and coffee.

Option six,

I will abstain from eating sweets.

Option seven,

I will refrain from using salt.

Option eight,

I will abstain from consuming any animal products.

Meat,

Fish,

Dairy,

Eggs,

Cheese.

Option nine,

I will abstain from eating any baked goods,

Bread,

Pastries,

Cookies,

Etc.

Option ten,

I will remain in silence.

Option eleven,

I will speak only when necessary and only if someone asks me something.

Great,

We believe in you,

You can do it!

Hooray!

Dear soul,

You've completed your first day,

And you have four more days to go.

I wish you patience and perseverance in your practice.

The further you go,

The more interesting it becomes.

Thank you,

And we'll connect for meditation tomorrow morning.

And remember,

Continuity of practice is the secret to success.

That's all for today.
