Good morning everyone. Today's episode is an article written in medium.com. It was published. The topic is, here is how one shift in mindset improved my productivity.
The subtopic is a long one. Mine is a flexible mirror. Adjust it to see a better world. Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it.
Hello my lovely readers. I'm committing to doing a 12-week home workout program, 1.0 version by Heather Robertson, observing my body emotions in mind and writing about life lessons learned. Today is day 5 of week 6. In case you missed any of my episodes, I have covered them in various articles for people who love to read and for people who love to listen to my voice, I've covered them in my audios.
Podcast episodes, morning musings, latest morning musings, podcast episodes. Alright, you can read what my life lessons learned and take away from week 1 to week 4. In the article titled, I never thought exercising would help me stay inspired. Life lessons learned and take away from weeks 5 and 6.
So each week, 5 days of exercise, so each day's life lesson learned and my takeaway, I share in one article or one episode. So I'm giving the title for you. Please go ahead and check it out. You can probably Google and also get the articles or episodes, I guess.
I leave it to you. So day 1, the title was week 5, day 1. Value your mundane chores inspires you. Day 2.
Home workout or walk outside on both. Day 3. I never thought exercising would help me stay in 5. Day 4.
Do you know what tabata means? I love it. Day 5. Do you fear breaking routine?
Then week 6, day 1. Do you listen to your body when you exercise? Day 2. This is how I un-earred humility.
Day 3. Side effects of home workout. Day 4. This is how I beat boredom with my creative mind.
Wow. I've completed the workout for week 7, day 1 and 2 and my writing for 3 days, including today is pending. The experience of writing a couple of days after completing the exercise is way different from that of writing immediately. While I do miss the enthusiasm that comes up when writing immediately after doing the exercise and creating a new mindset and building a new habit.
Mind is a flexible mirror, adjusted to see a better world. Emit Ray from Mindfulness Living in the Moment, Living in the Breath. Another quote, once your mindset changes everything on the outside will change along with it. That's a quote by Steve, Maraboli, Life, the Truth and Being Free.
The most it is, it's okay Lalita if you miss or your circumstances don't permit you to write immediately after the exercise. You can now develop a new habit of welcoming interruptions. How about that? Welcoming interruptions.
You can become your reverential, curious researcher. How about that? I love it. Also, allow yourself to befriend these interruptions.
Watch how your subconscious mind is helping you to manage and continue writing and keeping up with your 12-week commitment. A couple of weeks ago, I ran into a similar backlog and managed to catch up. I believe in myself to catch up this night and do my best to create valuable content. Today's memory jogger, wide row, V-press, burpee, triceps, pullback, triceps, pushup, crisscross and narrow What is the impact of consistent exercising so far in the second E of the acronym that I live by?
B, Mary, B stands for body, E stands for emotions, M stands for mind, E stands for environment, R stands for relationship and I stands for ideas. So I mentioned second E, so second E is environment. As Heather's home workout program is allowing, um, okay, allowing me to strengthen my upper body, lower body and core muscles and keeping me active and no organically motivated to do other physical work like vacuuming, gardening and organizing things inside the house and outside the house. What the second E environment?
I want to keep my environment cleaner. My soul is telling me oh, let's go. You wanted to vacuum that bedroom, that particular bedroom or that particular living room go just to it. That is more important than writing, keeping that commitment.
So your sound knows what exactly needs to be done for that particular moment. Same thing with gardening. The soul is saying you are in that shoot, shoot. I should complete this writing.
I should and then the soul is saying go to the garden, connect with the nature, connect with the plants, connect with the green, connect with the mud, connect with the water, connect with the air. You need it like that. The writing will come back to you. I will make sure that you will go and catch up your writing.
Blah, blah, blah. So also organizing things inside and outside. Do you know what? When your, whether it's your basement or whether it's your bed, making your bed or whatever it is, I know you can't organize everything all the time.
You can't be organized all the time. However, if you see around you, the environment, which is organized, you feel so great, right? And that mental, you feel that there is, you're freed up a lot of your mental energy. You're freed up a lot of isn't the mental mental space to think better, to think clearly.
Okay, more importantly, interestingly, I no longer do these chores as a compulsion. Vacuuming is not a compulsion for me, okay? But allow these chores to enjoy working with my muscles. I enjoy, I allow the vacuum machine to enjoy my muscles that are being strengthened by exercising.
Lovely. Now, so doing my exercise, the 12-week program is helping me strengthen my exercise, right? Now, when my soul is saying, go keep your environment clean, go do the vacuuming. Now, I'm creating a new relationship with the vacuum cleaner.
Hey, come on, I have strong muscles. Let's do it together. What a beautiful team spirit, right? And team, team and the team spirit.
The result is a cleaner and organized physical environment and an active, stronger body. I have two more days of writing to catch up until then you enjoy exercising and stay safe.
