The biggest reward of pursuing my fitness goals has been the value system that I have evolved to look after my body.

I didn’t run today. I didn’t even go for run yesterday. I might have fallen away from the pasionate running for the time being. But, what I noticed in these days that I still upheld the practices to keep the body and mind in shape.

I woke up in the morning at 8. And what I used to do was begin my day with regret. O fish, I had promised myself that I will be awake by 5:30 am. it’s not ok to be rise late but it’s not ok even to begin your day with a negative note. So I collected myself and assured myself that I will get thta chance tomorrow.

Next, I calmly moved on to the chores of the day. I ate my breakfast in full without hurrying up. I kept drinking water through the rest of the day and kept the body hydrated. I kept my sitting,walking and moving postures correctly. No slouching, no dragging etc.

And I kept my mood positive and fought through the rest of the day like I would in a battle.

With respect to eating habits, I upheld my discipline. Wifey is gone to her mom’s place. Even the kids are there with her. So, I ma now looking ft alone to fend for myself. Make my food by my own hands. I was getting late but I still made sure that I make whatever was possible in the given constraints.

You see it takes years to build something. So, it’s better that I stick to my rules. I stuck to eating home cooked food, carrying my own cooked food for lunch and ensuring I remained true to my convictions.

Health is a big asset. It is not easy to aquire given the kind of society we have created for ourselves. The society that’s hugely driven by mindless consumption. Simply because the soxiety has to act as a feeder to the factory system and vice versa.

With time, we get laid back and lazy and then we face the repurcussions. But, pursuing a sport has made me disciplined and ingrained the discipline as a value to live by in my thoguhts and actions !

Sanju runs 🏃🏿‍♂️
