Old place, new challenges

Well, I am back to college at last. On a sour note, or sour throat actually. Caught cold in mumbai, and it seems to me that some kind of epidemic is spreading through the city during these days. I really did not exercise, and food was random too. Had a pizza and huge mounds of sizzlers back to back while I was busy being ill. None of that, now that I am back in the college. I woke up at 7.15ish and went to gym for half hr. Nothing too hectic as I need to retune to the lifestyle again. I am in no hurry to get better it seems. As it is said, too much of a good idea is a bad idea, or anything in excess is poison. I mean, surely it cant be normal distribution ;).

The placements are knocking at the door now, and the mood is pretty tense, even though people here are enjoying the remaining days here to the fullest. The sense of finality is settling around me. A few days left here, and those are so pregnant with the glowing possibilities. How many lives will be made here, in these coming days??

The day was completed with a mental background of grogginess. The change in the sleeping schedule is telling on me. Now that I have realized that I have actually completed one month since I took up original goals to be implemented, I did follow them for the most part, if not the whole. The going home thing almost ruined me goals wise. Although the food is improved at home with large emphasis on fruits, the sleep and exercise pattern was interrupted, and the cold screwed up everything. I tried giving reiki to the affected sinus and it stopped irritating me. The side effect of this poorly thought work was I stayed up the whole night for two nights in a row. That had me blinking for sleep during the day. Another thing was going to pune to meet gf. Had just food and rest the whole time, eating pizza @ smokin’ Joe’s and a tonne of sizzlers@ kobe. My system was bound to rebel after all this sudden abuse.

Now I am back, and catching up on the not-so-old-but-healthy habits. Now is the time for new challenges, to be built on old ones. And the time is to think positive. Now that I am sure I will feeling those mood swings and other stress related problems are bound to crop up some time or letter. I can calibrate the goals to take that into account and I will be ready for the placements in the best health possible, be it mental or physical!

Physical mastery will be continued with the gym routine intensifying gradually. I am not interested in too much of muscular build, as long as I burn calories and get into a decent shape by march, I would consider the goal to be overachieved. Lifestyle and diet is the new mantra for the next target date :15th february.

For mental mastery, I have a lot to do. To relearn what I had done during the MBA, to go through many concepts, to read reports, to create HR answers for typical questions.. A lot to do on that front. And I don’t even need to set any goal here, the very existence of a good job/salary/location depends on how well I perform this part of life. I also need to choose a goal which will enable me to concentrate on one thing for a long period of time. Yoga would be of help here according to my memory.

For emotional mastery, I can work on this very blog, on a regular basis. Identifying emotions I felt during the day and capturing them here should do the trick. Right now I am unable to come up with any specific plan, so I need to refer the Steven covey’s book, the 7 habits.

For spiritual mastery, chanting and reiki is the flavor of the month. And integrating it throughout the daily chores would be the next target. Although it seems simple enough, it is actually the most difficult thing to do under circumstances.

The next few days will be kind of hectic mentally. I need to keep myself calm and distracted! because otherwise the anticipation of the placements can get pretty nerve raking. All theBest to me I say! and start collecting those positive and motivational quotes!!
