Lungs are feeling very good. Look forward to yoga tonight.

Had Quaker Oats for breakfast, the one with cinnamon advertised as “30% less sugar”. Quick, convenient, tasty, super good for me. Slow releasing energy – so great before working out. Going to graduate to the steel cut oatmeal (the slow cooking kind) which really is the best, but for a quick fix, Quaker Oats will do.

Vinyassa – 1 hour
Bosu circuits – 30 min

Wow, I actually just organized my desk. Great feeling of accomplishment. Yay me!

• All garbage – out
• Everything irrelevant – out
• Everything not immideatly needed – out of sight
• Every single item remaining – relevant
• Effective use of space

Tasks should be handled one at a time and everything task related moved before beginning the next task.

• Seiri (Sort)
• Seiton (Set in order)
• Seiso (Shine/clean)
• Seiketsu (Standardize)
• Shitsuke (Sustain/Discipline)

This is my inspiration.

Executing is a whole different story. Going to try to change that. Will only give myself credit for doing, not sitting on my butt and strategizing. This paralysis has got to stop.

Hate getting this uncomfortable feeling after eating but inevitably get it, probably because I continue to eat even when I am full.
Need to find a comfortable level of fullness and put my fork down when I’m there. Going to rate my level of fullness at each meal.

Hunger makes me nervous so I rarely get to the point where I feel it
Would like go get to a point where I am comfortable feeling hungry and don’t overeat to compensate for feeling hungry for a couple of minutes.
Also have a feeling that I often confuse cravings with hunger, would be nice to be able to tell the difference.
Going to start rating my hunger every couple of hours (now this diary will come in handy) to get more familiar with the feeling.

Never tried this before but supposedly it’s a good tool to be more aware of one’s eating habits so I’ll try it.
Hm, let’s see if I can remember what I had this morning :)

When I eat standing up, I do not notice what I’m eating.
This will help me be more conscious of what I put in my mouth
It will also eliminate impulsive eating.

I think it’s more important than it seems so no exceptions.

• Chew slowly
• Notice what I eat
• Do not eat mindlessly
• Focus intensly on the food
• Relax before I east – the more tense I am, the quicker I eat
• Pay attention to how my body feels

Imagine a perfect deep blue sky filling the whole landscape extending forever
Imagine a golden sun shining near the top
Picture it as clearly as you can
The sky represent your mind – beautfiul, broad and clear
The sun is a source of great healign and nourishment
Bask in the healing rays

• Chose an image that arouses a sense of peace, comfort and holiness
• See it within your mind as clearly as possible
• The deepest meditation does not involve words or images but another experience, transcending human symbols altother. [I won’t be there for a while]

Thoughts are like snowflakes in a snowball, gently settle on the bottom

Focus sentence: Calm

Stayed there for about 5 minutes

Felt much calmer afterwards, more serene. Moved more gracefully and slower. Like waking up from a resting nap.

Charisma, chutzpah, joie de vivre, exuberance and grace.

Project a positive energy that radiates beyond the person who embodies it.

JFK: “He was inspiring and magnetic. He gave us hope. [He] radiated that onward-and-upward good feeling.”

Clinton: “He is so sexy, and he eats you up with his eyes”

Charisma: “overlapping components such as expressivity, sensitivity, control, eloquence, vision and self-confidence”

“A charismatic person never plays it small”

“Loud gestures, however, are more likely what we detect. “Expressivity is the tip of the iceberg—it’s what is most visible. But there are complex behaviors underneath.”

“People with joie de vivre are like windup dolls that never run down. They are passionate explorers who view their work as play.”

“Yo-Yo is so responsive to what is going on around him. If you put him in a room with people who are grieving, he will be as sad as anyone.”

“You walk out feeling excited to the core. You find yourself paying more attention to the person you’re with, more aware of the rain on the windshield on the ride home… You feel more grateful just to be alive.”

“Grace is the quietest of the X-factors, perhaps the only one in which star power never threatens to overshadow substance. Graceful types are just as passionate and driven as their X-factored peers but rarely stir up the annoyance or suspicion we may feel toward bold or highly excitable people.”

Equanimity: the ability to remain calm and relaxed in the face of strong feelings
A sense of composure

“Expanding perspective enough to fully understand the nature of the conflict, not matter how painful.”
