Band pull aparts

I got to know about this brilliant exercise from Tanner Shuck. In his words " I’ve said it many times and ill say it again. Make band pull-parts a staple in your training program. The importance of training your upper back and rear shoulders cannot be overstated. Accumulate 100 band pull-aparts 5-6 days a week. Your shoulders and physique will thank you for it. — " Here's the link to the exercise on his IG, go follow him for lots of awesome fitness gems: https://www.instagram.com/p/B1kuNJOHh1b/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link  

What inspired me to be an EARLY RISER

Image
Ironically while the post is on being productive, this write up idea was planted in my grey cells at the time of binge-watching House of Cards where in the heart and soul of the show, Kevin Spacey, his partner in the Netflix entertainer wakes up looking for him to be decked up, armed with ammunition to fight and earn the victory in day to day political battles. Few hours later I bumped into a video titled "Wake up at 5am - Insane", that kinda made me rethink and research more on being an early riser. Why this video got my attention? Kobe Bryant  Forget my ignorance, I had no idea who Kobe Bryant was till I bumped into this video :). Here's what made me look up on him: If you want to be best at what you want to be, you have to practice and train as much as you can. Earlier you wake up, more time you get to practice / train and rest. More practice you put in, will be the differentiating factor b/w you and the competitor over the years which is why you should w...

End

How often do you wake up in the morning even before the alarm starts buzzing. Today is one of those days where you feel motivated right from the moment you are up. After a year long of procrastination & being lost in life, I woke up with a positive feeling of accomplishing things. So why is the Subject called End. I have decided no more procrastination..........life is too short for accomplishment. Hence forth I am committed to progress and learn in the path of growing as an individual. My day feels wonderful and gives me a true sense of peace and happiness. It's beautiful to see the SUN in 1st hour after rising. God only knows, after how many years I have actually prayed with all the attention and dedication early in the morning. More on the way :)

The urge to know your future - Good or Bad???????

Why do people want to look into future? I may have missed out on various possible reasons one might have. Mentioned here are the ones I could think of at this point of time. Possible reasons: 1)It's a good time pass 2)Insecurity & restlessness about certain phases & events in life 3)Insistence from dear ones – Parents, friends, siblings 4)Counseling / Decision making I was introduced to this science of mysticism at a very tender age, which got me quite fascinated towards it. Over the years I have met a lot of specialists who have been good & not so good in predicting the events of one's life. Few who have been humble & few who have been arrogant to the core. Eventually after certain experience & listening to different beats of music in life, I realize human beings always want to explore the road map to better living & fulfilling their desires. This actually can be a very subjective debate if looking into future can be against god's will...

Mental Radio

Supposed to go out for a meeting with a colleague, rite in the morning I get this feeling "I should call her & ask her to postone the meeting for tomorrow" :) Eventually in 20 minutes I get a text from her that the meeting has been postponed. This is a perfect example of how important it is to finetune our mental radio. I have experienced these kinds of events often & makes me want to do some more finetuning for good :) ................................................................................................. Here's some wisdom that I pulled up from the book "Thought Power" by Sri Sivananda. While light travels at the rate of 1,86,000 miles per second, thoughts virtually travel in no time.If we throw a piece of stone in a tank or a pool of water, it will produce a succession of concentric waves travelling all around from the affected place.The light of a candle will similarly give rise to waves of ethereal vibrations travelling in all direc...

The Awakening

In the evening,I decide to be up before dawn next day. While hitting the sack I realize some assistance is required to give me a wake up call. There comes a reality check, we do not have an alarm functioning :)Nevertheless I tell myself "you are going to wakeup@5" (Man hopes it is 5am & not 5pm :D) You wake up & feel, it's quite possible that you did it :) which had to be confirmed by the time device & voila I din't wake up@5..........acty it was 10 minutes earlier than the desired time. After long time, I've felt really awake. There was no air of sluggishness or even a slight thought of let's sleep again kinda feeling. This is absolutely amazing for somebody who struggles to wake up 2 hrs later on day to day basis. Well it was a wonderful experience out with the existence. Had a great date with the mother nature, enjoying the silence, the greenery, the birds, the breeze & of course the sol (Sun). This just confirms, find the purpose ...
