Today is Tuesday, April 2, 2013. My stats today: 10 minutes of yoga, 10 minutes on the ball and 51 minutes of walking = 2.7 miles for an April total of 5.4 miles. My weight was 160.4 pounds.
QUOTE from Bernard Meltzer: "A good friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows you are slightly cracked."
My THOUGHTS today are on Deadly Sin #4. Sin #4 is SLOTH - DEFINED AS LAZINESS; IDLENESS; UNWILLINGNESS TO WORK OR EXERT ONESELF.
The sin of sloth is if you do it all the time. The silver lining in sloth is that there is nothing sinful about taking time to relax and rejuvenate yourself.
A lady named Chrissie Wellington is an Ironman (biking, running and swimming) participant - she takes two days off a month to do nothing but rest on her butt on her sofa. She says resting the body makes her faster, stronger, and more resilient.
Studies show that people who daydream for 12 minutes performed 41% better on a creative test than those that didn't.
Another study showed that people who do meditation were able to concentrate longer with less anxiety.
And remember that some the greatest discoveries came when people were doing nothing - like Newton sitting under an apple tree and Archimedes taking a bath.
The bottom line is let's all stop and smell the roses once in a while
