for the first time in over a month, i return with bad news. i just fell. i really dont want to delve in further, as i've learned here that nothing is as poisonous and dangerous as a mind bogged down in sadness.
however, (and i know that i need to work hard to carry on the inspiration of the first few days) i still maintain that the time for serious action is now. so if this helps other people, that is amazing, but at least in my situation, my greatest advantage is to write these strategies out. many of these are things that i already do, but i still think it's useful to have them condensed into one place.
1) Say daily portion of tehillim and study 1 Halachah of Mishnah when i get home from school
2) Do at least 15 minutes of Hisbodedus once a week.
3) Update this thread at least once every 3 days
4) (specific to this fall) do not allow internet use on my ipod. period.
5) To the largest extent possible, keep my door open while i'm in my room.
i'm sure that there are things to add to this list and it is certainly subject to change. now that the worst has happened, its time to take little steps and maintain a routine to try to get up to 90, one day at a time.
