Me: *chill, enjoying the day*

Me the very next moment: i can feel the passion of knowledge! The desire to read everything i have in this house, the wish to master a handful of languages, oh, and to have a clean environment and start working out and eat more fruits and veggies! To stare at the stars and work towards my goals, such a wonderful experience.

Day 2

Day 1 is here.

Today’s word is “exercise”.

I watched 2 short explanation videos on a particular area of interest of mine. I wanted to know what happens when you stop exercising for long periods of time.

What shocked me is that from a cardio point of view, 1 week is enough to affect your cells pretty bad. After 2 months of not running/training to run, your performance has terrible effects and your timing will give you depression. (The narrator’s words, not mine)

A solution suggestion that appeared in both videos was working out passively, walking for example.

The trainer who talked in one of the videos also mentioned how the longer the break, the more difficult it is for you to return to working out regularly because that break impacts your momentum and the motivation a lot.

At this part I’m not sure if he meant your motivation per total or how strong your motivation is during the workout because you need mental strength to deal with planks and other exercises.

An interesting detail was how you have a greater resistance to stress if you workout consistently, that’s something that i never thought of.

It was a nice research.

@sayitaliano will make later a post starting from the same word. I’m curious what they’ll talk about.

In case anyone wants to become chaos, here’s a quick guide:

1. Do what society can’t make sense of. Aka be yourself
2. Done, you’re chaos

“normal” is basically what you’re used to, what everyone understands. However, going outside the cage, that is chaos.

Be so full of knowledge that it makes people uneasy, be so kind that you’re out of this world, be so entitled to show the world how you are that everyone is intimidated.

Sometimes you’ll find comfort in what your mind says, even if it doesn’t fit with the answers that your soul is truly asking for.

“I want to wake up to a sunrise that doesn’t mean another day of struggling to survive.” she said. “Am I the only one? Who wants a naturally tranquil and pleasant life?” she said, wondering if anybody thought the same thing. “You know how much I love the sunrise, but lately I’m sleeping too much, but it’s not enough. It seems that I’ve lost sight of how beautiful a new day was.”

You’ve been with yourself from the very start, so if ever you’ll wander away, you can always come back.

“You know, I don’t want to be like this, too. I’m trying, and I know some people haven’t seen me do that. Because sometimes it’s not visible to anyone.” he said. “I wanted to be so in love with life that I will have no more time to overthink about what will come next. I wanted to have a clear mind that there’s no more chance for me to worry about anything.” he almost laughed, then continued, “I mean, who would never want that?”.

“And I realized that what I want to end is not my life.” she said. “But what makes me hate living.”

It’s that time of the year // ma.c.a

Chasing your dreams starts with taking one step to move forward—no matter how little it may seem.

You don’t have to run, at the beginning // ma.c.a

It’s not that easy to believe that things will get better, when all you’re feeling in the present tells you that nothing will ever change.

But the world still revolves around—the storms will eventually stop, and the sun will continue to rise over and over—again.

give it a chance // ma.c.a

And if you could find something to admire about someone else, I hope you’ll at least try to do the same thing—to yourself.

why would it be so hard? // ma.c.a

Sometimes it’s going to be suffocating but give yourself some time to breathe. You’re moving according to your own timeline and no one can do it best except for you.

Beautiful things take time // ma.c.a
