Putting a plan into action

I start work at 6:30 am. This week I started getting up at 4 to have my quiet time and to meditate. And, when it all falls into place, the plan works wonderfully. I am way more of a morning person than an evening person, so 4am is all good for me. And not being rushed in the morning is a huge reward in itself. I have found that if I get enough rest and wake up on time... then I can have the time to put my shields up. And generally they stay up for most of my day. Yesterday I felt good once I got home I let my shields down. Still a kind of new practice for me and I'm not very adept at it-- meaning it takes energy to keep the shield up for now. I will get better at it. But for now I am working out the kinks to find everything that works for me. I hope that everyone that reads this receives blessings today.
