20181205 SAVERS for WEDNESDAY HUMP DAY

SILENCE

Tried & tried to silence my brain for 60 seconds.  It's not easy.

Also, said aloud for 60 seconds.

VISUALIZATION

175 by 12/10

Although I am still visualizing my weight to be 175 by 12/10, I only have 5 more days until 12/10, and since I weigh approx. 181, that's 6 pounds in 5 days.  That's probably not doable, and probably not healthy.

So, my goal is to get as close to 175 as I can by 12/10.

as close to 175 as possible by 12/10

EXERCISE

Did my full 30 day routine.  Thinking about adding 5x2 reps to it all, beginning next year.

1. ankle/wrist circles 60
2. toe/finger stretches 60 + 10
3. bicycle crunches 60
4. shoulder rolls 60
5. inversion table 3 1-min sets
6. push-ups 60

So the new reps would read 70, except for the inversion table.  I'd increase minutes to 2-min sets, and do 3 sets for a month, so see how it goes.  Eventually, I'd increase it to 5 2-min sets.  Or maybe 3 3-min sets.

READING, WRITING

Read 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  The author says that humans are largely responsible for 3 Waves of Extinction, and all 3 coincide with the arrival and/or the technological advances of humans.

He sobs that people today are largely unaware of their role in the 3rd Wave of Extinction (now on-going), but if they were, they might take more and greater steps to stop it.

I STILL question the validity of his position that it's tragic.  Yes, species have died out.  And yes, just because they've died out for so long does not mean that it's okay.  I get that.

But how am I to live a happy life today, knowing that my fellow humans have participated/are participating in such extinctive processes?  I must find a way.

And I sure do wish we could focus on THAT, and get rid of the buffoon in the White House, who is currently impeding our consciousness raising.  His is SO BAD for the planet.

GET RID OF HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
