Brain Dumping 1.8: After a Weekend "Away"

It is amazing what time, engaged or disengaged will do.

From “You are what you repeatedly do” to “you are what you eat” to “you are like your friends and peers” time is common factor, or at least, how we use it.

What is amazing however is that what we do today impacts both our future time and also how our body deals with past-times.

This process of unloading the minutia for 15 minutes a day is turning into an addiction- or at least I am trying my best to make it that way- and judging by my general feelings for when I don’t do it (much like movement and hydrating) I feel worse for wear when I slip.

I am tying my thoughts, hopes and emotions to the practice. Appreciating its potential to unlock my sub-conscious patterns and help me move towards my dreams. Associating the act with positive emotions and health and seeking to take as much as possible from the feedback I get from my social contributions.

I am trying to make it a routine at a routine time with a routine water in hand to get every part of my body used to and craving the habit.

Sometimes I win and sometimes I intentionally break it like yesterday.

Running the Yoga, Thai Massage and Body Awareness retreat was the focus of my thoughts and energies… and I slept in to give the day my best.

Today however, I just slept in, it felt good, so I did it and know now that it would be better to keep my habit going.

Back to time.

Time is that precious resource that we waste with such interesting abandon and disregard. How lucky we have become, I am, to be able to bask in the upper pools of my mind- our minds- instead of having to dig down into the deeper resources of our mental and physical resources.

Because we have given such value to time I think it has become something to resent and waste only because we rarely actually use time to its fullest.

We are not conscious, engaged and impassioned by its use and as such, we let it disappear with only the slightest twinge of regret and within only the slightest percentage of the population.

Commit to be engaged in your steps, chews, thoughts, actions, smiles and pains alike.

There is no try, only do.

Be what you dream by repeatedly doing (thinking, dreaming, acting eating…)… and maybe even start by dumping the crap from the top of the heap.
