Seven rules of a warrior

I had a really good day and night so far. My energy levels stayed the same, very positive and encouraging. I even did some marking!
I had one little stumble this morning because after my 8am nap I failed to get up from bed. Yes, yet again I trusted myself that I'm well rested and decided to recall my dream lying down. Bad move as I fall asleep again and woke up at 10am! This was the last time I allowed myself to stay in bed after awakening.
I had breakfast and read 'Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman. I saw the film and was inspired to read the book. I really enjoy it and this book encouraged me to stay on track.
My goal is to become a warrior and I understand that the journey to it is not always easy. I have made a list of tasks I want to follow every day:
1. Stay polyphasic on uberman schedule
2. Stay raw as close to 100% as possible
3. Do reality checks as often as possible
4. Meditate/work on conscious OBE (out of body experience)
5. Exercise - yoga and cardiovascular
6. Clear my mind - download the constant dialog on paper and burn it afterwards
7. get fresh air

I had a nap at midday and after that I went for a long walk. The air was warm and the sun was shining. Another glimpse of spring.
I had a glass of freshly squeezed organic orange juice. Heaven!
I did some study on Greek Plays as I'm directing now "Trojan Women" with my students.
The 4pm nap was equally pleasant as the midday one and I woke up before the alarm. I had a large plate of fresh salad and did some marking. This is an achievement as I never do my work on the weekend.
Then the 8pm nap came and after that I watched some tv with my daughters. It's nice to spend some time with them eve if it's watching tv.
It is now almost 3am and I feel pretty good. I hope this energy will stay with me when I drive to work. I need it then the most.
I can feel the sleepiness coming upon me slowly so I better do something...
