Mix it up
Alright, to start improving myself I am mixing things up a little as recommended by a couple of meditation and self-reflection books.
It says to change you habits.
So I also had some slight glute pain last week, a result of too much stress which equaled too much running and not enough stretching and strength training.
New habit: Strength training / HIIT workouts daily.
New habit: Meditation daily in the week.
I think I've found good times for both of those things and have been mixing it up pretty well. I'm also continuing my guitar journey back into music. Someday the cello will come back and I will hopefully more fully enjoy making lovely sounds with it.
With the music bit- book on songwriting says write random stuff. Word association, random poetry bits.
So here's that.
WORD ASSOCIATION: random number generator #9 and #23

(also to the inner tune of "pretty pimpin" because it won't get out of my head)
Let the first time be the last time
We've been strutting around here all night
First time in my life
Been cutting up with this kind of life
Time moves slowly round here
Been dreaming this up for many years
First time wasting my life
Just keep wasting my time
Let the first time be the last that I say
What do you mean to me?
I've been a tree
Growing roots here,
Just been kind of laying down here
First time in my life
Been pushing up so tight
Let me breathe here,
Let's start this,
Growing roots deep in my chest
Let the first time be the last time
I hold onto this so tight
Been dreaming
Just feeling
Like the first of many things
This is not the end,
No, it's a beginning
Setting roots here in the soil
Pushing up so tight
Let me breathe here
Growing roots deep in my chest
