Habit

 Again started a free yoga course by Habuild. A good thing which happens when you join a course is, the punctuality. After completing the course two months two months back, I did exercise. I did some yoga too. But I would spend more time searching on which video to follow. And the timing was erratic. And excuses were abundant. 

As I realized, this course is more of light exercise for the entire body - not so much of pure yogasana. Which is really useful for idle-ish people like me. Ideally one should do this followed by some other yoga in other part of day. One can omit laughter yoga or even meditation. Because I can never really meditate - because of my flickering mind. So 6 in the morning you can find me doing habuild exercises every single day. That is my promise to myself. 

Did I also tell you about walk at home videos? Quite useful. Or rather, they were useful when I was residing in an apartment. Now I can just walk on the terrace without any video in the evenings. 

Here in this house without any maintenance staff, half the time is spent in fixing things and cleaning. Clean the outdoors, clean the bathrooms, water the plants. And waiting. The house was built way back in 2000s, so it still has tube lights. And the lights will take some time to turn on. Which makes us, the old generation converted to impatient generation very upset.

 It's funny. There is an attached store room with normal LED light instead of tube light. So both of us switch on that light, instead of kitchen light.  

And the house also has a living proof of eco system. There is a huge tree in front of the house on the street. The room which is shaded by this tree is at least 2-3 degrees  cooler than the rest of the house. You can literally feel the cool nice air engulfing you as you enter that room. 

Who knew - I certainly didn't. Today - 20th march is the international day of happiness. I came to know about it again by habuild. 

 

Coming to think of it, I have so many reasons to be happy - or not unhappy. 

• I have a roof over my head, a home which keeps me safe
• I have food and water
• I have a loving and supportive family
• I have almost good health
• I have access to all the knowledge in the world (like anyone else with internet) and some amount of curiosity and some capacity to absorb that knowledge

 So many reasons to be happy about. And I go and search and search and search for things to worry about. Like anyone else.
