For one particular reason, I was very frustrated today and meditation didn't seem to help much at all. My frustration was stemming from being able to focus on my task at hand (work), but instead getting distracted by anything that was just slightly more interesting. Once my frustration reached what I thought the peak, I decided to meditate. The 17 minute session started out very bumpy, actively trying to re-engage my mind on my session for the first half. Then I decided to "let go" of trying to achieve some certain frame of mind and just focus on being. It helped me end my session on a positive note. I honestly didn't get much out of today's session other than escaping the manifestated feeling of static (from my mental frustration). All in all, at least something went well. 🌈

Today my love meter was turned to its maximum. I woke up pretty early and was determined to make some crepes for my bae (and for Piglet, she loves food...). She absolutely loves crepes so when I asked her exactly what she wanted on them she responded with excitement. This was an instant gratification for me. I made an extra (small) crepe for Piglet too. I would give Mocha Joe one but she doesn't like human food. Later that day I made sure to take Pig on a walk, and give some undivided attention to both of my animals. I personally got a lot out of showing love today.

Shoulders are probably my favorite muscle group to workout. It's just something about having broader shoulders that
makes me feel more powerful (anyways...). Today's workout was good. I started to struggle towards the end of my workout (I think this is due to using 15lb dumbbells for a not-so-powerful muscle group). The hardest workout had to be side-lying lateral raises. 15lb dumbbells + a concentrated shoulder workout = tough. I am still using the same workout material and probably won't be straying. 🤓 I use Strength Training Anatomy, 3rd Edition by Frederic Delavier as my workout plan. I feel like this book gives me the best of both worlds: exercises that will work every part of a muscle group, and how to properly do the exercises (to avoid injury). Frederic Delavier is also an excellent illustrator, and the book is really fun to look at if you're a science geek.

Ok, this post was sooo much easier to write! I was able to use my last post's markdown as a template and it reduced the amount of time needed to actually create the post by 80% (educated guess). I think that yesterday was very trying, but I still managed to do everything that I intended to do. One of the biggest things that I've learned over time is that motivation isn't shit. I get more accomplished by utilizing discipline, for sure.
Anyways, until tomorrow.
