in preparation

To prepare for the retreat, and because they are just good lifestyle changes, I've decided to make a list of things I can do to prepare.

1. No more Pepsi
2. Get up earlier in the morning, eventually getting up at 4 AM each morning
3. Sit in silence and for longer periods of time
4. Practice mindfulness in all actions and activities
5. Take daily walks

I know there are more.  I'll have to re-read the material...again...and see what else comes to mind.  I'll update this as I think of anything new.
