9 Things

I write this on 9.9.09 and it inspired me to think of 9 things I can do in or for 9 minutes to to improve my life or the life of others. Here is what I came up with. I came up with two lists, one sweet, one sour, just for kicks.

The sweet list:
1. Spend 9 extra minutes at the gym.
2. Meditate for at least 9 minutes a day.
3. Spend 9 minutes writing a letter to an old friend.
4. Spend 1 minute every hour for 9 hours taking deep cleansing breaths.
5. Park in a spot 9 minutes away from my office.
6. Spend 9 minutes playing with my dog henry.
7. Think of 9 ways to increse my income.
8. Think of a sincere compliment for 9 people I come in contact with today.
9. Write a quick blog entry. :)

The sour list: (Just a bit of humor)
1. Prepare 9 meals in the Magic Bullet.
2. Walk to my office printer 14 times to find that it keeps printing the wrong direction.
3. Eat all 9 meals prepared on the magic bullet.
4. Watch 1/3 of a golden girls episode.
5. Wait for a meeting at work to start late, again.
6. Stalk 9 people on facebook.
7. Tweet about the 9 people I stalked on facebook.
8. Listen to my roommate talk about the annoying people at work.
9. Plan to teach my students using my socialist/nazi agenda.

Have an Amazing Day!

I find this very interseting because I would have never thought of anything like this. Taking nine minutes to do deep breathing or even meditate can be a good way to relieve stress. Also I liked the thought of the whole socialist/nazi agenda that you were talking about, even though you were joking it might be something funny for our class to experience.

I love this idea! Next year on 10/10/10 I'm deffinately going to do something like this and include ways to help myself and help others have a better day! Getting excersize, giving compliments, and taking a breather every hour are great ideas. I need to do that stuff everyday, not just 10/10. I also want a magic bullet.

I think that this is a brilliant idea. I really like the thoughts to just simply believe in having a lit of targets and then hoping to achieve them.
I have my Freshmen bucket list, and actually am always looking forward to getting close and closer to achieving every single goal.

I hope you reach them all, and now I'm off to get find my own show to host.
