I moved today to visit an old friend that I didn't talk to for at least 6 years. He is a well-integrated Orange/Green individual. We are going to do business together, he has a lot of knowledge and I'm going to learn a lot from him. He is currently working part-time for another company and building his own company and I'm doing the same. This is going to be a nice collaboration because he is a very healthy individual and that's the kind of individual that I want to spend time with. I decided that I would live from my higher self and only allow high-conscious people in my life.

I choose to change my waking up and going to bed schedule so that it fit the natural day/night cycle. I feel that I'm doing much better when I wake up naturally than with an alarm.
