Aaah... The bugs are finally receding. I managed to get a good night's sleep although the cough still lingers.
Nevertheless, this is a good news. Pretty soon I will get back on my feet and be able to do the KL Walk again.
So back to the original idea. To make this year as the Golden Reign of the Wood Dragon. By now I did almost all the things to make this a winning year for me.
There are three things I must do to leave my mark on the annal of 2024:
Quit smoking
Lose weight
Run/Walk 22 km
By the look of things, the stock of cigarettes that I have will last me until my birthday. Then losing weight which is a change of lifestyle and the run/walk is a matter of consistency.
All these require permanent behavior modification. Remember, it starts with good sleeping, eating, and exercising regimentation.
I can do it if I am in a cocooning stage. So that is what I will do. I will filter all forms of stimuli as if they are a backdrop.
The central theme is the monologue that I will carry on in these three areas.
Remember, my adversaries are procrastination and fear of failure.
That is why the KL Walk is a good encouragement. The Walk gives me the perspective of being an active meditator. It is a whole new view of my Universe Within.
The appeal is I start before the rush hour and finish after it is over. So the Rush Hour becomes my Golden Hour. Imagine doing it for 3 days a week, at least. It is indeed a moral booster.
During the KL Walk, I got to see two types of people; the ones going to work and the ones having a vacation. Plus, it is a morning crowd. The positive energy is there and they smell nice too.
I figured once I had the exercise regimentation on a routine, then naturally I would reduce my dependency on cigarettes.
These three-lifetime challenges are really a change of the mindset. Frankly, I need to move to the Champion Mindset and pursue Athlete4Life.
Change your thought, change your destiny.
Right now I don't feel like a champion because I am in the cast of a slacker. I smoke. I eat junk, and I don't have proper sleep hygiene.
Remember the time you were fit and healthy and your clothes fit? Fight for that Standard again. DO NOT slide below the Gold Standard.
Don't worry about the timeframe. Just keep focusing on the Mindset Change.
You fall down 7 times, you get up 8 times.
An Olympian Gymnast executes her routine 17,000 times before she gets to the Gold.
How many times do I need to execute my routine so that I can RUN the 22 km Bukit Kiara?
What sort of mindset do I need to perform like an Olympian?
What does it take to be Eluid Kipchoge?
I am too comfortable. I should not live a sedentary life. I should be like a wild animal - I earn my meal. Otherwise, I don't eat.
Good thing I am done with External Affairs. I can now focus all my energy on becoming my best version for the next 17 years.
Timing is everything. I should be able [] (to) proceed without much hassle.
Most importantly - NEVER GIVE UP!
