Good Morning

The monsoons have arrived in true earnest, and I've got to say the wet roads are not conducive for running; at least the flyovers aren't. So, what do I do? I still go for walks, and then those odd dry days go for a long run. That's what I've got to do.

The walks also give me some time to focus on weights. Thank God for dumbbells at home, which I can do whenever possible. Of course, there are other gems like planks, pushups, etc., requiring just my body weight. So, a lot can be done in the monsoons too.

How was my schedule for the day?

As I had already mentioned, the morning was wet with a steady drizzle. So, it was good enough for a walk but not a run. I went for a walk, and about a kilometer later, my shoes were soaking. I thought I might as well return and focus on weight exercises at home. That's what I did.

Once home, I got going with my trusted dumbbells. I exercised different body parts today as I had more time. The focus areas were:

1. Arms (both biceps and triceps)

2. Back and Shoulder

3. Abs

Even after finishing, I had ample time left. So, I threw in a couple of stress training reps and a few planks sessions. It was all worthwhile in the end, as I felt like a million dollars worth. 😊

No day is an excellent day without Ho'oponopono. And I did manage to squeeze in a few sessions of the mind exercise too. Only meditation remains, and I will see if I can fit it in somewhere during the day. I will update you about that in tomorrow's post.

Here is my write-up on the topic for those wanting to learn more about Ho'oponopono.

What Is Ho'oponopono? | The Hawaiian Healing Technique

Have fun reading and practicing.

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

Namaste.

😊
