NeoSoul Experiment - Day 5
Is there one practice in the experiment that you haven't done yet! I encourage you to focus on that practice and plan to do it!

NeoSoul Experiment - Day 4 Reflection
What is your favorite practice of The NeoSoul Lifestyle Experiment? How do you FEEL about the process so far? Is the experience what you thought it would be?
NeoSoul Experiment - Day 3 Reflection
Are you starting to catch a rhythm? Are you finding it difficult to stay on track? Did you think it would be easier?
As for me........
I am realizing that I an experiencing quite a bit of stress, and that creating self-care rituals is critical to my well being. Today was a roller coaster ride. I had an important meeting at work and gave it 100%! It was a success, yet I was drained the rest of the day and found it difficult to stay focused.
I wondered why I was feeling lackluster, then I realized that I had only gotten a little sleep the night before, minimal water, and no time for meditation. Yikes!
Creating my NeoSoul Lifestyle, is serious y'all.....so glad this experience is enlightening me. I realize that the evolution will truly be a journey.

NeoSoul Experiment - Day 2 Reflection
How are things going in Day 2? Did you focus on the same practices? Did you try new ones? Are you finding the experience difficult? easy? uncomfortable? What are your intentions for Day 3? Share your comments!
NeoSoul Experiment - Day 1 Reflection
Take a moment to reflect on yesterday (8/1), the FIRST day of The NeoSoul Lifestyle Experiment! Did you jump right in on the practices? Did you pick a few to focus on? Did you forget? Share your comments!
As for me......I didn't hit it on all cyclinders yesterday.
Restoration:
I was attending a concert last night and as usual I was rushing to get dressed! (Unfortunately you have to try on half of your closet to see what fits when you've put on more than a few pounds! But I digress.....) So, I didn't make my bed for my return later in the evening. Once I did get home, I talked to a friend on the phone until I drifted off to sleep for about six hours. But I didn't fall alseep on the sofa!
Detoxification:
I got in less than 1/2 of my water intake. I took out the extra shoes, work folders, and bags in my car. I also cleaned my bathroom and gave it a few spa-like touches!
Flow:
I felt very relaxed most of the day....yet my quiet time wasn't planned so I thought about a lot of things, yet need still need to write down specific goals.
Karma:
I intentionally sent my friend a thank you text for inviting me to a concert. After the concert, I complimented both the artist and promoter on their show.
