Day 2

Suprabhat,

On day 2, I was suppose to get up at 5.I got up at 6.40 and could not do my Yoga and meditation as on Tuesdays I leave early from home I.e at 7.15 am

On the food side , I wanted to have fruits in breakfast but the fruits weren't fresh so ended up eating lots of Pav Bhaji and https and then some cake.During the day I had enormous amount of sweets .All this for the fact that I am suppose to cut on Sugar and maida.

Now the brighter side.I did made my bed  after I got up which is not a small thing for me and Also I did not ate anything after 5pm.

One step forward and two steps backward is a problem area I have to get out of.As it happened on day 2.

I have found a gym nearby to my office and will be working out in the evenings from 1 Nov.It's like breaking your body in the morning with yoga and than breaking it in the evening again with weights.

I have received few books I have ordered from Vivekananda Kendra .The books are about Karma Yoga.:-) I am also working on the spiritual aspect of the problem.So, here it is I am now targeting the problem in 3 ways
Physically- Yoga and Gym
Mentally and spiritually - Practicing meditation and deeply searching for root cause starting with who Am I? And what role my energies(Prana),  my chakras, my Sanchita and my Prarabdha karmas play out with what I am facing .

In coming few days I shall be discussing myself in detail and Also the initial few remedies I tried.

Good day!

Pranams,
Abhishek

Day 1

Suprabhaat,

Not the first first day of life.Had so many of them earlier also, but that's the fight, My fight and may be yours also.

Now time to introduce the fighter.I am a 32 year old Male from Northern part of India.Was doing jobs earlier but now run my own business for last year and a half.Married .No kids.Will certainly be Introducing myself in detail but right now would be more eager to Introduce the Opponent.

The opponent is nobody else but me only.It's something deep within.As deep as probably my life itself.This something has many names and mean different to different people
Some call it Laziness
Some call it habit of Procrastination
Some call it lack of perseverance

Yes ,that's what I am fighting with.A deeply engraved habit of not being able to start what is truly important and meaningful in life and not being able to finish what you have started.

You can imagine what a mess life would have been for a person like me.In  coming days I will give a lot of interesting angles I have explored this problem and In how many ways I tried to overcome of course with out any success so far.

For today I can only tell you this that this time I have decided to break this habit physically first.So, I have learned a very demanding form of yoga called Angamardhana from Isha Hata Yoga School.Just to give you an insight about my current physical condition is that I am as unfit and inflexible as possible not exactly overweight for a 6.2 feet guy but definitely 100+ kg with a slight launch.

I don't take Alcohol or smoking  and is a vegetarian,but I compensate these lack of addictions  by eating all the crap junk of food one can imagine.The only act that can be remotely termed as a physical exercise I do is sex.

So,challenge No, 1 is to do Angamardhana everyday and increase your flexibility, strength and stamina. On a scale of 1 to 100,  I stand on 1 today.Only God himself can touch 100.In this life I am targeting an 85.

Challenge No. 2. To be a certified fitness trainer by mid- next year.

I would be keeping a tab on what to eat and would be severely modifying my diet.

Welcome to my world and be a part of this life changing journey.

PRANAMS,
Abhishek
