VISUALIZATION

201.6 Yesterday's weight

198.0 Today's weight

-3.6

I visualize weighing less tomorrow

(I think this sudden significant loss was due to eating only 2 meals yesterday (9am, 5pm), and nothing between meals.)

2. toe/finger stretches 70
3. bicycle crunches 70
4. shoulder rolls 70

READING, WRITING

Read for 70 seconds in SAPIENS by Yuval Noah Harari.  He summarizes that AFRO-ASIAN megaworld began "conquering" the remaining global worlds in 1450, and after about 300 years, they had succeeded in 4 significant ways:

1. nation states (geo-political)
2. capitalism (economics)
3. human rights (international laws)
4. nuclear/atomic physics (science)

Harari says we Sapiens share in these fundamental, global aspects.  E.g., experts in Australia and Italy both accept the same principles of physics, anatomy, cellular structure, etc.

OK, I accept that.

Read for 70 seconds in YOU ARE A WRITER by Jeff Goins.  He says I should perceive that a writer must build his/her own platform, and then ask readers to allow him to write to them.  He further says that he began with his blog, and he felt like a fool, since he had not become an "expert" in anything.  He just wanted to write.  So his blog was "limping along" without much result.

The next steps, and the next paragraph he wrote, bear quoting him word for word.  It seems like THIS is the substance of the message I need to hear right now:

"Who the heck was I to offer advice?

"Then I started hearing about other bloggers who were considered experts in their fields.  I found out many of them didn't start out as experts either.  Instead, they just started asking questions.  They started poking and probing and finding answers to their burning questions.  They shared the questions they were asking and the answers they found.  They took their readers along on their journey of discovery."

I need to assimilate/absorb/grasp this message.  It bears repeating every day, until I've done it, and am ready to move to the next step after that.
