Re: hindsight, foresight, insight

Thank you for the image, Vic.  Love that it says:

"May you have the hindsight to know where you've been,
The foresight to know where you are going,
And the insight to know when you have gone too far."

This Irish blessing has a pattern similar to the Serenity Prayer!

Thanks for posting that!

(movingalong)

Thank you, now that you mention it, it does have the serenity prayer pattern.

I love the Irish blessings and Sy. Patrick (he was not even Irish so it makes me feel it works for all of us, it  does for me.)

ok, been getting my exercises done in the mornings successfully for four days this week, and I trust that Friday morning will conform to the pattern.


HP


meditation


pilates


dog walk

meeting


rehearsal

shopping


dog walk

dinner

post saturday check in

meditation

bed

And also fit in time logging (completely forgot/neglected to do it at all today) and try and get some studying done. As I'll be at uni tomorrow anyway for rehearsals, how about a micro burst of something related in the library? Yes Jane, do do it, do, it's a good idea!!! We shall see... 

no time logging, not a bit!!! but I did succeed in spending about two hours in the library, not getting very much done but the fact that I did actually stay there and get SOMETHING done is great.

"I still have bad days. But that's okay. I used to have bad years." —Anonymous

May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, May good luck pursue you each morning and night. ~Irish Blessing 

fudoshin: day 5: April 8th

Please do not leave advice or feedback.  Thank you.  Prayers welcome. 

                                                                                                                     
                                                                                                         

 

My commitment is the following:

30 minutes of exercise at least everyday until I am done with my running plan (35 days or shorter), comprised of the following

1) a segment of my running plan, if there is one for that day

2) any combination of the following in order to get to 30 minutes:

* walking, running, swimming, dance class, aerobics, sculpting class, yoga, biking

The idea is to get out there.

Why am I doing this:

     I get massive migraine headaches, whenever I don't exercise.  I don't know why I have a neurological problem, such that exercise is the only thing that makes me feel better physically and emotionally.
    I like to feel lighter on my feet. People are staring at me, looking at me all the time wherever I go, and I want to look good at work, at school, standing waiting for the bus.
    I do a lot of standing around, b/c I have to take a bus or go to class etc. and I want to have the confidence in myself that I will invest in myself by doing exercise that day.
    I don't want to be the fat person at work or class or in a social setting.
    Exercise, particularly running, makes me feel more confident and comfortable in my body.  It's the only way I gain sanity and mental concentration sometimes.
    I get massive headaches, when I don't exercise.
    I would like to be attractive; I don't want to feel self-conscious whenever someone attractive is staring at me.
    I have athletic goals.  I have two running programs, one for beginning running, and I have another one for running for a straight 30 minutes.  I want to get through these programs.  I have a goal to one day run the Hawaii marathon.  But first I'd like to do a half-marathon (preferably the Disney one) just to experience it, b/c I just skipped to the marathon.
    Running helps me to feel motivated in other areas of my life, whether I'm sitting in a chair programming or I'm translating Latin.

Rules:

    I will not allow myself to burn out by over-training.  I will stick to the plan.
    If I'm physically incapable of running, I will walk or cross-train, but I have to check in here, if I'm going to alter my plan.
    I will brush and floss my teeth nightly because for some reason it helps.
    I need to prepare for bed at least 8 hours before I need to wake up, b/c sleep enables me to run.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm physically not able to do the 50 minute module for today,and I think it's best I have some time to study.  I am just going to walk for 30 minutes tonight, instead of the fifty minute module, which with HP's help, I will be able to do tomorrow.

hazyjane ci wednesday april 9th

set alarm for 7am: HP followed by pilates dvd workout. Made the rookie error of thinking another half hours sleep would be ok...ninety minutes later, the 8.30 alarm goes off (the 7.30 one not set to go off on a wednesday?!?!?! Sometimes I'm too organised lol) and I realise I've completely thrown my day out of whack... 

meditation: give it a bash, as instructed.

8am: shower lol see above

9am: walk dogs: get card for mother, post it, this is URGENT!!!!!!!

10:10am: leave for commitment  (late)

12.30pm library

4pm cinema

followed by home, hair dyeing, dog walking, dinner cooking, etc I'm disappointed with myself for the lack of commitment I displayed today. In future I will get up at 7am no matter how tired I feel, if I am really suffering from sleep deprivation I can always have a nap!!!

post thursday's check in

Should I finally call re wire?!!

CC claim!!! 

 

re: a more uplifting perspective

When climbing a steep hill,
we are often more conscious of
the weakness of our stumbling feet
than of the view, the grandeur,
or even of our upward progress.

Persevere. Persevere.
