Woohoo! I just finished my last day at work. Now for phase 2 of my plan for ‘World Domination’ tm. On one hand I’m really excited about the upcoming months. It won’t be like my previous trips which were long holidays interspersed with periods of work. I’ll be staying in one place for weeks, if not months at a time, and my main focus will be to build up my location independent income.

On the other hand this doesn’t seem like such a huge transition at all. Just another part of the ‘2 steps forward, 1 step back, 2 steps forward’ process I’ve been following over the past couple of years. In a couple of areas of my life I’ve decided that I’m going to walk a certain path and have decided not to attach too much meaning to whether I’m right where I want to be at any particular moment. I know I’m doing the right thing as long as I’m doing something that is helping me move forward. I accept this does leave room for the bare minimum of concrete action. That’s definitely something I want to improve on.

At the moment I think of myself as Neo just after he was freed from the Matrix. His body was free but he still needed to go through a process in order to free his mind as well. In order to succeed I’m going to have to have to ‘free my mind’. I need better beliefs, a more empowered sense of identity and more productive habits.

My plan for the coming week besides the usual pre-trip preparations (packing my things, making sure my mail will get forwarded, buying sun-screen etc.) is to start ingraining some habits. These will include 15 minutes of meditation in the morning, physical exercise and voice exercises. I’m going to try to stay away from my computer as much as possible because I’ve been experiencing some pains in my neck and shoulders as well as tingling feelings in my thumbs and little fingers. Those are the signs of a repetitive strain injury and I’ve experience it before. Not good!

But before all that I’m going to go out and party, then sleep for 10 or 12 hours.
