Ow, ow, ow (my feet hurt)!

Standard

Flexibility is the capacity to bend without breaking, as well as a continual willingness to change or be changed in order to accommodate new circumstances. People with flexible minds are open to shifting their course when necessary or useful; they are not overly attached to things going the way they had planned.” therefore the term ‘walking distance’ is relative.

The question is: how long until my feet get used to this marathonlike pace of walking every single day, expanding my endurance in hot and humid weather.

They say physical conditioning starts with the mind, and that is the kind of flexibility that I really need to work on. Seriously. I think that I need to load up on comfortable footwear and work on fitness training. It boggles my mind that the locals here walk so fast and without breaking in sweat or running out of breath.  Then again, it simply means I’m out of shape.  I think the past several days are the most I’ve walked in six months combined from my previous job, haha!

I think I need to: just do it!


Minute Wisdom

Standard

Minute, as in sixty seconds, and NOT the other minute… After researching for my husband ( a Star Wars fan),  I realize that Yoda is a veritable fountain of wisdom. Here are some of the significant ones I want to share:

  • [Luke:] I can’t believe it. [Yoda:] That is why you fail
  • Do or do not… there is no try.
  • Already know you that which you need.
  • “You will know (the good from the bad) when you are calm, at peace. Passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack. “
  • “Dwell on the could haves, we must not. Focus on the solution, we must.”
  • LUKEWhat’s in there? YODA: Only what you take with you.
