Habit

Thoughts

Exercise:

My Religion

Went in the morning later than usual being a Sunday. On reaching the gym found out it was closed. Surprised. Luckily, carried the Anytime Fitness card so went there for lifting.

10 min treadmill walk and run. Then went to do Triceps.    4 sets of Rope Push down lightweight. 4 sets of Triceps extension lightweight. 4 sets of Triceps kickback. Then went for Rehab.

Rehab has been going well, but I still get lower back pain after moderate weight lifting. I had chest day before yesterday. The exercises were on an incline bench. Still, I had back pain all day despite maintaining proper form and not going too heavy on the bar.

So there is a puzzle still unsolved on the injury part. I need to research more and do some extra routines to get better.

After the gym, I came out and saw that Fit 7 was open now. Apparently, it opens at 9 A.M on Sundays. Happily, went to do what I had come for - a Steam bath.

Steam bath feels great. It even has physiological benefits for it enhances the growth hormones. I enjoy it as it relaxes the body and removes impurities from the skin.

Zone 2-3 Training:

The range of Heartrate between 110-145 bpm which is good for cardiovascular health. I note it down through my Garmin watch analysis of the workouts. (180 minutes per week target)

5 mins. 17 mins for the whole week. <10% of the weekly target. Sucks.

Meditate:

5 minutes of practice to start with       

Went to Bangla Sahib Gurudwara. Felt peaceful as I listened to Shabad Kirtan. Saw the Bhai Baghel Singh Museum on Sikh History.

Influence Book:

Book by Robert Cialdini. Want to go slow to internalize the concepts

0 pages. I will pick it up this week.

Homework for life:

A daily practice to capture important events of the day that made an impact on you; that can form a story.

 Saw the Gay congregation at C.P today. They stare at you and make you uncomfortable. I feel little uneasy. Wife has different perspective. They have a right to express and stare. Let them. 

Weight:

Daily monitoring to track my eating habits and goals.

Not done. Too lousy.

Push-ups:

Just to have an everyday pump

22

Kegel:

For a strong pelvic muscle floor.

Nope

Calves:

To grow these minions

40 (30 Seated + 10 Standing)

Write:

To take forward a passion not realized

Blog

Mewing:

Just a fad maybe. To breathe better; for a visible jawline

As I write this

One Podcast:

Podcasts to learn and grow. Utilize Travel time

Nothing

Flossing:

Remove Plaque, prevent cavities

Done in Morning

Brush at Night:

Needs no description

Thankfully

Skin Care:

To look at least my age and age gracefully

Doing well.

Clean:

No Intoxications for a spiritual, healthy, productive, and meaningful life

108 days

Thought of the Day Today I visited Nabipur village in my native District to seek the payment from one of the debtors of my in-law’s business. The person is a debtor since 2018 and has avoided calls and changed numbers several times to evade payment. He is infamous for defaulting on credits. Although he owns pockets of land, he has been conducting himself like a defaulter. People from his village know of his reputation and are willing to offer leads to his whereabouts and his contact number. We know a few people in the village whom we reached out for his whereabouts. One of he knowns is the village head and received us warmly for a cup of tea. He too had suffered this person’s unpaid debts. Although they had now been able to get some money back but they had a tough time making him toe the line. The head took me on the terrace room of his house where we could have a look at the defaulter’s house. There was no car parked outside. This...

Index funds: How they can be a better instrument over Mutual Funds

  Over the years I have got exposed to the idea of Index Funds through reading some books and following the advice of celebrity investors on social media.  An index fund is a type of mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF) that aims to replicate the performance of a specific market index, such as the S&P 500 in the U.S., the FTSE 100 in London, or the Sensex 30 or Nifty 50 in India.  Unlike the actively managed funds, which rely on the expertise of fund managers to select individual stocks, index funds passively track the composition and performance of an underlying index. Now the question arises what is an Index? An Index is a benchmark for evaluating the performance of an investment portfolio. In India, we have 2 major Indices- Sensex 30 and Nifty 50. In Sensex 30, we have the top 30 companies by market cap (Share price X No. of shares) listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange, and for Nifty 50 it is the top 50 companies by market cap listed on the National Stock Exc...

Choosing between logic and Emotion- How we fall prey to maintaining consistency

Today I read a chapter on the consistency bias existent in human psychology. Robert Cialdini points out that humans tend to stay consistent with their thoughts, frameworks, and mindsets. He stated his personal experience with Transcendental Meditation (TM). He and his friend who was also a social scientist went to the seminar of TM where they claimed that they could relieve humans of their life issues such as stress, and health problems, and put them on the path to spirituality. They would be uplifted from the mundane of the world and feel the bliss of enlightenment through various meditations and practices. They went on to preach that at an advanced level, you can even fly through the walls and be at different places at different times. Both of them observed the mystical claims of the preachers and were increasingly amazed at each claim. Then, when the preachers were finished with their session which had multiple guests, the friend who by now was visibly fumed threw a volley of qu...
