Good Morning

Today morning was so beautiful. It was a perfect day for a run, but that’s what I didn’t do. I went to sleep around 5 a.m., so going for a run at 6 a.m. was a bit too much. I did wake up at 7 a.m. and went through my weight exercises.

Even then, the outside was really pleasant. Cool breeze, cloudy day, and sparse sunlight managed to reach us through the clouds. It was all good. I had to get back to work, so had to leave the run for another day.

So, what did I do?

Since it was an all-at-home day, I started with my subliminal playlist and while listening to it, I got started with my workout. Today I focused on my chest, back, and abs. I had enough time in hand, so stretched the workout to one and a half hours. That’s the longest I have done weights in about a year.

I got some time after the exercise and got into meditation as an alternate way of cooling down. It was a good experience, although I am not sure if meditation can substitute for a cooling-down regime. 😊

And then there was just one last thing to do before starting with my everyday work. You guessed it – Ho’oponopono. I gave a good fifteen minutes to it. It was all worth it. Here is my write-up on the topic for those wanting to know more about Ho'oponopono.

Have fun reading and practicing.

Anyway, that's it from me for now. I will see you all tomorrow.

Namaste.

😊

Did You Know?

About a year back, I had written about the abdominal plank record belonging to George Hood of the USA. The timing was an impressive and astounding 8 hours 15 minutes and 15 seconds. What is even more astounding is that this is not the record anymore.

Daniel Scali of Australia is the new abdominal plank record holder. Daniel stayed in the plank position for 9 hours 30 minutes and 1 second. That’s more than an hour over the previous record.

Both George and Daniel are people to look up to, as George was 62 years old when he made his record, while Daniel has Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), leaving his left arm in constant pain!

Respect!
