How do we connect with people? What brings us together. Is it the fun times we spent together? Is it the fun things we did together?. I don’t think so. What brings me closer to people is the shared pain and struggle. Even with total strangers I have found being connected via shared experiences. Mostly the pain and struggles. I don’t know why, but it … Continue reading 13/365 On Shared Pains and Shared Struggles
Today I forgot to carry my earphones to the Gym. This means no podcasts, Music or Audio Books. But I observed something fascinating. I will always be listening to something. Driving. Cooking, chores at home, Gym, Walking.. You name it I will be listening to something. This also means that I will be totally unaware of the sounds in my surroundings. I hear so much … Continue reading 12/365 And then I listen more
Today as I was working out I was looking at the mirror and the word that came to mind was ‘Insignificance’. We live in a world where everyone wants to be important. Even as I write this, what I want is more people to read this. For more people to know me. We do a lot of things to feel important but we should not … Continue reading 11/365 The idea of insignificance
Today I was in training all day. Sitting in place listening to someone teach. I always find one single sitting even with breaks very tiring. So when I went to the Gym in the evening, I was kind of worn out. I went slow. My mind was thinking about learning. Maybe the after effects of the training. I also had a conversation with my daughter … Continue reading 10/365 An hour a day learning something new
Today was kind of my rest-day at the Gym. But since I am on this 365 days project that needs me to be in the Gym I use this day to just be there and move around a bit. I just did some walking on the treadmill and some stretching. But I also tried something new. Usually I listen to podcasts and audiobooks during my … Continue reading 9/365 Gym as an idea of space
Today I realized that I had completed 7 days straight working out in the Gym. I know the number is nothing compared to the 365 days. But we all need small goals and milestones that we have to celebrate in order to motivate ourselves. This is not just about workout, it is the same in profession and life as well. If there are no small … Continue reading 8/365 Small Milestones
Today after my workout I had to go to the pharmacy to pick up some prescription. I have always felt that the pharmacy lanes to pick up prescriptions have some of the most grumpiest people in the neighborhood. I am not complaining as most people are there to pick up medicines for themselves or someone dear and near. Wanting to stand in a line for … Continue reading 7/365 And I saw the grumpiness go away
Today when I went to the Gym, It was my day to work on some chest workout. I don’t overburden myself and use the machines more. The reason is that they are much safer. I have two machines that I use. The Chest press machines there are two of them. But there is only one piece of equipment in the Gym for the one you … Continue reading 6/365 The Need to be considerate
Yesterday I got my vaccinations. I got my flu vaccine and my Covid booster shots. One on each arm. They are sore. I also developed slight body pain. All the reasons to not workout. I even wanted to consider that option. But then another thought came to mind. I thought that I will jut go to the Gym. Just show up there. I might then … Continue reading 5/365 Some days you just need to Show Up
Today I got both my Flu Vaccine and my Covid Booster. I have heard that for those who get these together, they can feel a bit unwell the next day. Anyway I went to Gym today. Came home and also made some Chicken Curry. Let us see how it is tomorrow. And was watching Argentina 1985 of Amazon Prime when I realized, I had to … Continue reading 4/365 Being Nice
