A long road ahead

I missed yet another day of blogging yesterday, and whether it is for good reason or not is beside the point.  It has become noticeably harder for me to carry on with my personal development charade, as it has passed the 1 week mark now.  Recapping:

I've written 5 blogs
I've studied Chinese 3/7 nights and mornings
I am on par to spend under 50% of my income
I am waiting on my promotion at work (from temporary to contracted employee)
I have been reading books nightly
I wake up every day at 7am

I haven't been playing guitar much
I spent more than 50% of my free time playing video games (the old one's I'm addicted to)
Chinese studying needs to get to 6/7 nights and mornings
I need to add a more rigorous exercise routine

So overall I'm doing pretty decent, but I can feel the push and my mind is constantly bargaining ways to stray from these good habits and back into video games or sleeping or watching TV instead.  I'll need some real motivation to kick this to the 2 week mark and hopefully stake these things as habits, as well as start moving on the things I haven't done well.  

I hope to replace playing the old video games with playing new ones (at least it keeps my mind more fresh, and keeps me up to date in the industry), and try to set a 30 minute time block every day to play music.  Chinese studying should come natural when my classes start (hopefully this week!) and exercise will be a tough cookie, as right now I exercise 2x a week rigorously with soccer, but not enough besides that.  I want to get that up to 5x a week, including running 3-4x.  I have my gym membership, so hopefully I can start to utilize that again without burning out.

I've been trying to focus on relaxing and taking this one step at a time.  My earlier posts made it seem like I was going to be taking this in leaps and bounds and was bound to fail, but I know that this is a long term process that will only work with patience, self-discipline, and must not be seen as a chore but rather an improvement upon my happiness (including health, acheivement, etc).  I even posted "relax" above my computer for me to see everyday, to remind me that if at any point I get stressed out about anything, I am doing something wrong.

It's a long road ahead... many miles before I sleep.. and many miles before I sleep.
