Thanks a lot for this SirW. It was extremely informative and very helpful.

I have already done many of the things that you state and am glad that I seem to be on the right track with what to do online. I have started controlling her sleeping patterns to be more in line with mine.

She is a student and so has tended to be going to sleep at 3 in the morning and napping a lot during the day. So she now has a curfew and has been very keen on the idea of matching my patterns. She was very eager to get up much earlier than usual to talk with me in the mornings before I go to work. I have encouraged this as i feel it a great way to focus her for the day ahead when I will have no contact with her, she can go back to sleep afterwards (which she does, sleepyhead).

She is writing a journal for me each night and emailing it to me so I can gauge her reactions of her day and any tasks I may have set for her. I am having her kneel down, making sure to keep her back straight for good posture, while writing her journal. She has a laptop so this is easily achieved. I feel that focuses her mind better on her submission and she enjoys it as well (from her journal). I have found in my short time with online training that it can be the small simple things that mean so much to the submissive.

I also chose the title of Sir, I feel it much more appropriate and it is what I prefer to be called in realtime as well. She was trembling, and blushing furiously the first time she called me Sir But soon afterwards I had to curb her enthusiasm as 3 or 4 Sirs in a sentence was just a little inappropriate. We're not in the military after all.

I have also instituted an exercise regime, 20 minute yoga workout each day that is broadcast on tv here and that I used to do as well when I wasn't working. As well as having her begin to cook a larger variety of meals for herself. She was eating pasta almost every night, and sometimes even less healthy. The first time we chatted all night she did not eat at all. A simple mention that that did not please me upset her. I pointed out to her that as my sub it is her duty to keep herself, fit and healthy, to be able to carry out any tasks that I wished for her to do. Her primary focus was to please and be found pleasing and to be able to do this to the best of her ability her health and hygiene is very important. Her welfare and happiness is my responsibility and having a healthy slave is essential.

I have also found that reinforcing a few simple things is very helpful. Even if she already does soimething of her own accord telling her she must do these things helps to reinforce that I am in control. Making sure part of her routine is to brush her teeth after every meal I have found is a very easy and simple manner to keep her thinking about her submission. When she has to perform everyday activities she is now thinking about her submission to me while doing them.

I have not instituted much of a routine at the moment as you said I am taking things slowly. I would rather add things gradually than give her a massive list at the start and watch her struggle with so many new things at once.

And SirW, I'd love to hear more, and share more. We can do it here in the forums so others can join or in PM's if you prefer.

I gave her a checklist to fill out. She is young, has no bdsm experience (and this really is none), almost no sexual experience but is deeply submissive. I can see she is going to be a pleasure to train.
