Transformation : day 4
Posted by Aditya on December 17, 2007
Hmm…. So I have cleared the first hurdle I always used to fumble on : the day three hurdle. ( Invented observed by mah dad of course, he used to predict that my enthusiasm for anything just lasts for a 3 day period )
Day 4 was dull and tiring so far. I slept kind of late last night (11.30pm) and woke at 7. went to gym for half hr for some harder training. I will skip weight training tomorrow for this.
Then had a huge breakfast of 2 omelette’s and lots of poha. I felt so tired afterwards that i decided to relax. Well, this cold can be cruel in ways you cant imagine. I “woke” kinda up directly for lunch. Had some food, the taste thingie still holds though… I do feel more taste of the same things i used to call bland. Grabbed apples and came back to room to salvage the remaining day…
and salvage the day I did. Studied almost one and a half chapters of Hull. realised in the process that I have missed a few things I should know ( well, I know them now don’t I 
) . Also, mailed to Prasad dada about the project he has given me.
I think the most important thing I need to learn is how to overcome the inertia of beginning something. Thats when my mind rebels against the thing I want to do. In fact, even if I want to do it, my mind finds excuses against it. Then I start feeling these psychological escape feelings such as hunger, thirst, sleep etc… The great thing is, the hunger feeling is much more reduced these days. although more tweaking is required before I eat when I am hungry, I am pretty much happy about the progress. At least I am on the right path.
Also, today is day 4 without coffee,and I have realized I really dont need it . I am alert enough without it. Now some more stamina building and mental training should make the needed energy available in no time.
I am feeling this sore throat since yesterday. Must be the toxin flushing they say. Because its very much on the background and I am feeling good enough otherwise.
One point of contention is my focus. I always overclock myself and as a result loose focus. The meditation is also not happening regularly. So a change in scheduling and a new thinking is in order I suppose.
