Saw this xkcd comic and thought of me! Here to bore you again with my rather sporadic blog posts.
How did the January goals go?
Mental: 'Upcycle' (hate that term!) the two old shirts in my room. What will them become? Stay tuned!
They're approximately 25% complete. I don't have a sewing machine and haven't dedicated the necessary time to hand stitch the lounge pants I've planned. Maybe I'll get bored enough for this during the coming month.
Physical: 100 squats a day. Goal is a bit of a cop-out, just repeating the press-up thing, but the legs are looking pretty weedy...
Met the 3,100 squat target for the month but not on a daily basis. Late target setting and a busy weekend resulted in a 300 squat finale but I made the target. Easy target!
Spiritual (1): Continue to meditate (I know this was a mental goal before - there're no guidelines as to how I class the goals).
Faltered on this after the first couple weeks. Meditation in the traditional sense still seems to be beyond my hyperactive brain or exhausted body. I find simple breathing exercises whilst relaxing somewhere much more effective. To each their own, though I'm still curious about the meditation others experience. What makes their meditation so much more effective?
Spiritual (2): Read a Zen Habits (http://zenhabits.net/start/) article each day. Who knows, enlightenment may lie just around the corner...
Another simple target. A fun blog to read but riddled with little inconsistencies if read out of order. I think the blog is much more effective if read in order. The blog represents a man's quest for zen, step by step. The writing is easy to digest and inspirational. Lists are used often to help things along. Can't say I agree with all the points (can you have happiness without sadness? Not all negative feelings should be zenned away in my opinion) but you should give it a read.
February goals:
Mental: None
Physical: (1) Follow the 'slow carb' diet
(2) Run a half marathon
Spiritual: None
Not feeling inspired this month!
