Challenge within a challenge: Routine of success; Like the night before an exam

Today is the first day of the routine of success and last night I just couldn't get to sleep. I went to bed early but couldn't nod off. It was like the night before an exam being nervous. My alarm went at 5.30 but then snoozed until my second alarm of 6.15. So today I wasn't living the life of a top executive.
I ended up doing nine things today, five of which were before breakfast. For day one I don’t think it was too bad an attempt.

I found a great YouTube channel by jbittersweet which has meditation techniques for a 30 day challenge. So I'm going to listen to one of those a day for the routine of success. I've only done meditating once before with my friend Zoe. We went to a class and I was so relaxed that I nodded off! So I was worried I’d fall back to sleep, but as I was concentrating on doing the correct breathing and with the YouTube video being 5 minutes long I didn't go back to the land of nod.


I also read an article on LinkedIn called Why the Best Leaders Sometimes Get Mad (and Show It), which I felt counted as networking as it was on LinkedIn which is a networking site. The theme of the article conflicted with the meditation I’d already done as well! I also wrote down my plan for today and what I'm grateful for. These two I’m going to try and do every day as it will be interesting to see what I write after 15 days.

It will be pretty boring to blog about every single day of the routine of success, as it will be very much the same thing every day. But if there are any particular highs or anything interesting I do then I’ll let you know!
