From the time I have started blogging, my yoga session and walks
have minimized. Earlier I had a full 45 minute yoga workout and
a brisk walk of 30-45 minutes. This activity lubricates my body
machinery keeping it running unhindered and smoothly, without
a breakdown.
But this new found passion is reducing my physical activity and I
have turned into a 'couch potato' rather a 'chair potato' in front
of the computer screen. My son complains that PC (not Priyanka
Chopra) has become my new-found love and the center of
attention is shifted from my apple-of -my-eye to different kind of
Apple. But my mind is brimming with activity albeit of a
different kind. Along with the planning of the menu for the day, I
am planning my agenda for writing. I am enjoying my tryst with
blogging. Like a teen-aged girl fallen in love ,I keep clicking
buttons, reading the writings of my co-bloggers and commenting .
I am happy with the exchange of ideas.
But two days ago, I felt that I am over-indulging in my new found
passion and have decided to take remedial steps.
They are : (1) Revive my yoga sessions.
(2) Continue to walk either in the house (when it rains) or enjoy a
brisk walk outdoors.
(3) My reading and writing will continue along with the household
chores.
(4) Pay (more) attention to my son.
(5) Solve Sudoku and crossword puzzles.
(6) Call up some friends. The talks are long over-due.
(7) Learn some new dishes from friends and neighbours.
Along with the mind the body too has to be kept fit ,healthy and
agile. A healthy mind exists in a healthy body.
How do you keep yourselves fit? Do share with me.

ReplyDeleteBlogging is very addictive and we should wean ourselves from it not forgetting that there are other things in life too.Thanking you the little princess for sharing your thoughts
DeleteKalpana....welcome to the addictive world of Blogging :)
ReplyDeleteThis is the same thing that happened to me two years ago, when i started blogging. The difference was, I stopped dancing. I was glued to my PC, promoting my posts, reading other blogs and my FB page.
However, now I have restricted myself. Only 2 hrs a day :) yet at times, i tend to stretch :)
I have decided to curtail my time and other areas suffer. Thank you for stopping by and commenting.
DeleteI walk, gym and also do yoga. But, I need to start doing yoga more regularly.
ReplyDeleteIt relaxes me and helps me think. I love de-stressing by pumping some iron at the gym!! :P :D
Whatever form of activity/exercise is much needed for a healthy body and an active mind. Thank Pixie for reading.
