If I can just concentrate on this one thing, maybe I can experience success. Put my boots on and get out the door!
I thought, "Oh hell, I'll go up the little hill and make a sledding run."
So I trudged, and I mean TRUDGED!, up the little hill. This is the alternative sledding hill that is on the north side in the trees, so the snow is still there. The daytime temps have been warm, so things are slick. It took me forever to break through the drifts, and I couldn't believe how out of breath I was. Geez.
It was slick, sure enough, but this hill is not too steep so it wasn't too scary. But fun enough. So, I went again. And then again for the 3 requisite runs to call it exercise. And, sure enough, it was fun.
I then tried something new...Spinning. Not cycling. just what it says. spin around in a circle. become dizzy.
A friend I saw at the grocery store yesterday told me about it. You spin 21 times. First, go 5 times. Stop until the world stops going around. Then do it again. Do it like that (practice) until you can go the whole 21 times. Find a focus (like ballerinas). Go in a clockwise direction. This is a meditation practice like whirling dervishes. It is said the lamas do it 21 times just enough to stimulate the vortexes into action. Negative residues are flung out of the body and the bridge is strengthened between the left and right hemispheres. Spinning stimulates the body's energy system and wakes up the chakras.
So, get out the door and spin. Spinning into the new year. Hopefully not spinning out of control. Hopefully, just the opposite. Spinning grounds you. I be grounded. I will hit the ground running and then spin to become more grounded. Run and spin. Sled and spin. Eat right and spin.
And I took my vitamins today - to clarify, my supplements, which includes the 5HTP that keeps me level (happy?). B Vitamins help my nerves. Oils help my brain balance.
I guess balance is the key.
So here's to spinning to stay balanced. One thing leads to another. All things lead to good health.
