20191125 SAVERS for MONDAY

SILENCE

Today, upon waking, I did remember that I wanted to silence my brain for 60 seconds.  It seemed to be easier (compared to when I do it later in the morning).  But it was still difficult to even try.

AFFIRMATIONS

1. I, Ken Taylor, am a loving human being.
2. I, Ken Taylor, am a loving human being.
3. I, Ken Taylor, am a loving human being.
4. I, Ken Taylor, am a loving human being.
5. I, Ken Taylor, am a loving human being.
6. I, Ken Taylor, am a loving human being.
7. I, Ken Taylor, am a loving human being.
8. I, Ken Taylor, am a loving human being.
9. I, Ken Taylor, am a loving human being.

Also said aloud for 60 seconds.

VISUALIZATION

I weighed in at 189.2.  :-(   

This was due to my going to John & Paul's for dinner last night, and having a ton of fattening food:  brie & olive crackers, peanuts, curry chicken w/rice, asparagus, bean/peanut/boiled egg/onion salad, 2 1/2 glasses of white wine, 1 1/2 peices of apple pie a la mode.  It's a wonder I didn't gain 5 pounds!

175 by 1/31/20

EXERCISE

Did my full 1+ routine for Monday 11/25/2019:

1. ankle/wrist circles 70
2. toe/finger stretches 70
3. bicycle crunches 70
4. shoulder rolls 70
5. inversion table 3 1-min sets
6. push-ups 2 sets of 25 (since today is Nov 25;  I'll do 2 sets of 27 on 11/27)

READING, WRITING

Read for 60 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He says the earliest known writing might have been written by an accountant named (or titled) Kushim, in approx 2400-3000 BC, on a clay tablet.  We (scientists) have been able to decipher the writing to give numbers/quantities of barley over a period of time (37 months). 

Harari notes that the earliest (known) writing was not created by a poet or a philosopher.  (et alors?)

********************

I have had no indication from David that the money call would come today.  But since that is NOT the norm, what if he calls today to say it's happened??

Well, may it be so, for the sake of my retirement, my budget of today, and my sanity.

(end)

That seems right.
