    Day 6 (yesterday) 

    20 min. of meditation 

    11 min. of yoga

    This was probably the worst meditation session I had in a while. Complete monkey mind and sleepiness made it impossible to clear my mind for at least a few seconds. Yoga session went fine enough tho.

    Day 5

    20 min. of meditation 

    Around 11 min. of yoga 

    Probably the smoothest meditation and yoga session since writing in this journal. Barely any itchiness or sleepiness, although my legs were in pain. Probably had something to do with the 2 hour nap from earlier. Had a lot of monkey mind though.

    This time it was a stomach pain combined with sleepiness and itchiness screwing up my meditation session. Yoga session went much better tho

    Keep it up!!! Don't lose the discipline!!

    by the way, you will have easier days, hardish days, and SUPER hard days. On SUPER hard days, it's crucial you stick to your habits. Because it's those days that your will is tested. 

    Thanks, I'll try.

    Day 3

    20 minutes of meditation

    Around 11 minutes of yoga

    My sleepiness was so bad that I had to keep interrupting my meditation just to stay awake. After an hour of unintentionally sleeping, I had to force myself to do yoga but this time it was itchiness that almost made me stop.

    My inability to stay awake kept kicking my ass making meditation and yoga damn near impossible which is why i fell asleep right afterwards and had to write this just now

    Day 1

    20 min. of meditation

    11 min. of yoga

    Only thing keeping me awake at some point in the meditation session was the various itches that popped up all over my body. Some were almost unbearable.

    I'm going to write into this journal on a daily basis to keep myself accountable on meditating and doing yoga. Around the same time last year, I stumbled across Leo's channel and started to learn about self actualization and enlightenment. I've learned a lot but because of my lack of discipline I haven't been able to put much of what he was saying into practice. I've been meditating on and off for several months but haven't been able to do it daily for more than a few months. In order to be much more consistent and be more productive I will keep this daily journal to hold myself accountable on doing meditation and kriya yoga daily. I will exercise, read books from Leo's booklist, and do other things that will help me self improve but I want meditation and yoga to be the bare minimum that I do daily so that I'm not overwelmed if my life gets too busy. I hate all the time I wasted so far backsliding and feeling miserable knowing I could be more productive and this is my newest attempt to self improve since most of my other attempts completely failed due to me being addicted to social media, entertainment, and porn. Trying to self improve for me feels like trying to crawl out of quicksand. It's not that hard to learn the theory but putting them into practice in the long term and being patient with results is way harder. Hopefully this attempt isn't yet another failure. If I stop updating this journal it's because either I feel I've outgrown it or I've stopped caring.

    Daily requirement:

    Kriya yoga

    At least 20 minutes of meditation
