Do Your Research

No ... not what you thought (although that will come!).

This research is internal - inside yourself. It's a step rarely taken, yet it can make a gigantic difference to the successful achievement of your goal.

Here goes:

Get a paper bag and cut eye-holes in it. Yes, just like when you were a kid.

Take off your clothes, stand in front of a full length mirror, and put the paper bag over your head.

Now, study your body, inch by inch. And ponder on it. Spend a full 5 minutes on this.

Now, take off the bag, replace your clothes, and find a sheet or board - something large you can put between your body and the mirror.

Stand in front of the mirror again, so that the sheet hides your body completely, leaving just your head and neck visible in the mirror.

Study, just like before, and ponder.

Now, just go about your business.

And come back for the next step tomorrow :)
