Keeping the spirit up the whole day

Dear Blog,

There’s this EARLY MORNING WORKOUT thing that I’ve been carrying out for some time. Today somehow in the very morning I couldn’t do that. Then only as I was going through the day I realized that there is actually a lot of value in this particular workout as I kidda went down to the *Down* mood (Most of the time I’m kidda the *Hyper* type person). Today why I couldn’t do this was because I thought of just studying in that time as well as I’m having some exams to face to. But…then as I was getting distracted by all the sorts of things and when I actually asked myself, “Why the heck is this ?” then only my brain answered “Dude…today you forgot to give the *WARM UP* to your mind and body”

So…I just thought of sharing this particular, (secret *wink*) workout of mine as it might be useful for at least someone else in this small world :)

                                               

*First I wake up about ½  and hour before I actually wanna wake up.

*Then I take in the early morning atmosphere a bit into my body

*Then I wash up, change clothes and become FRESH

*Then I meditate for about 15 minutes

– as Buddhists may already know, what I basically do is the “Aanaapaanasathi Bhaawana” and “Maithree Bhawana”

-         as for the other people of other religions, I do two types of meditations

o       1. Closing eyes and keeping your body in posture that is easy to you, then only concentrating about the breath that gets into your nose and gets out. (The point of this is to be concentrating only on one thing and to be rid of all the other facts that pollute your mind such as anger, jealousy etc.)

o       2. The second one is, just closing your eyes and think for the goodness sake of every single person, animal, every living thing, every non living thing in side and outside the planet. (The point of this is to calm down all your thoughts, practice kindness to everyone and to lower your anger or get rid of it completely)

*Then I get on to the physical work out. This involves some cycle riding, some jogging and some push ups. (Done for about 30 minutes may be, depending on the time and day)

*Afterwards, being all mentally and physically strong, I just think of and note down some kindness acts that I’d be able to do on this day.

That’s it. How to feel *HIGH* the whole day without ANY weed, liquor, sexual acts etc. Just try it. Just for a week. Trust me or not. You will find the results amazing. No,wait..... ASTONISHING!!.

Cheers :)
