3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION 
With some free time and space in the morning, I have an ideal opportunity for meditation, clearing my mind and focusing on my goals. These are total internal silence, living by intuition, and for my Practice to be self-supporting by 2018. Now I've reached a point of minimum distractions I want to seize upon it before any new ones turn up! I want to throw myself into my goals and clear all distractions from my consciousness. I want to be the Enlightened Hypnotherapist 24/7!
