20180906 SAVERS for THURSDAY

SILENCE

As I lay in bed earlier this morning, I tried and tried to empty my brain of any thoughts.  Is it even possible?  Who knows?  I tried for 60 seconds.

VISUALIZATION

185 by 10/10

Yesterday I was 191.6 (yay).  What will I weigh today?

EXERCISE

I did my normal routine - 30 day mode!

1. ankle/wrist circles 40
2. toe/finger stretches 70
3. bicycle crunches 30
4. shoulder rolls 40
5. inversion table 2 1-min sets
6. squats 2 sets of 30 (+4) since this is a full 30 month.

READING, WRITING

Read 60 seconds in SAPIENS.  Learned that the reason humans can behave as they do is because of some element in their DNA makeup.  Animals can't become feminist and change their social behaviors, but humans can.

A lot of what Harari writes makes sense to me.  It might not be new news, but to me it's enlightening.

- "Grandma started in about the rats again."

- "MY Grandma WAS the rat."

- "Grandma Rat ate bad cheese, and we left her alone for days because of her cheesefarts."
