As I was reflecting on my new found spurt of growth, persistence, and commitment to stay active and focused, I am reminded of the various factors that may be influencing it.
Today, for example, I finished work and went to the gym for a run before my sessions. I usually plan to do that, but never end up doing it. I ran on the treadmill (dont hate because I did) for a while and came home. Clearly, the cognitive part of reading SPARK and understanding the interconnections of how all this works has definitely motivated me.
I need to find something other than running and spinning. The book speaks of finding more challenging tasks that involves learning finer skills will stretch and challenge more parts of your brain.
This past weekend, I was at Virginia Tech, surrounded by what I describe as a web of love, compassion, and care. I met the dearest and closest of my mentors, and influencers who changed my life for the better. I think that also has to do with the new found route of recovery this week.
Hopefully, with enough physical activity and commitment to change, we can all become like the zebra that does not have to think twice after being attacked by a lion.

what about swimming? or have you ever gone rock climbing? I know Ramsey has a wall and its a totally different type of exercise.. just an idea. Sounds like a great weekend; keep up the positivity
ReplyDeleteSeems you are in a good place mentally and physically right now and that (understandably) it's really having a positive impact on your inspiration and productivity. Keep surrounding yourself with people you love and admire and I'm sure it will continue!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are feeling great! I'm sure being in a supportive environment at VT was a big factor in your positivity. I think reading chapter 1 of Spark really influenced all of us. Maybe you and Bruce could play basketball again... or possibly another sport to mix it up.
