THE PLAN! THE PLAN!



Before beginning, plan carefully.
- Marcus Tullius Cicero


In some ways my plan is to throw globs of things at the wall and see what sticks. And while that may seem more like randomness than a plan, there is a method hidden amongst the glob stains. It’s like a Rorschach test – you need to try to see the pattern in the glob blot. You may have to look pretty hard and squint a little. And tilt your head 45 degrees to the left. And it may turn out that one of us is psychotic.

The basic premise of the plan is that since areas of life tend to bleed into each other, multiple areas should be dealt with simultaneously.  Even areas that I normally wouldn’t even acknowledge exist, like feelings.  Additionally a slightly skewed scientific approach could be utilized in the plan.

1.       Acknowledge a problem
2.       Look for solutions on the internet
3.       Attempt a suggested solution
4.       Check results

So what I’m looking at is really just a series of poorly designed and cheaply executed experiments run on me. Some of them will be physical, some intellectual, some spiritual and some may resist categorization.  Resistance is not futile! What they have in common, besides me, is that they all are meant to accomplish something. Something that improves me in some way.

I’ll be starting the new year with a few experiments, which I’ll post about later:

1.       Physical Fitness – I’ll be doing 10,000 steps per day
2.       Emotional – Daily Affirmations
3.       Mental – Learning to Draw

I’ll add more as I go or as those conclude. And that is basically the plan. It isn’t complicated or well thought out. But it is how I’ll become the Human Lab Rat.
