We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle

[zenhabits.net]

if i am not doing anything, does that mean i am nothing?

fuuuuuuuuuuuk habits!

(no offense intended, habits)

feeling offense is a bad habit

habit, you're a bad habit, yes you are, oh yes you are!

hehehehehehehe!

only i can offend myself

nobody else can

if you are sincerely not doing anything you are embodying nothingness, a state that many strive for all their lives and rarely experience.

weeeee!

that's me

removing fear is a good habit

until there is no fear, then there is nothing to fear

don't fear death

don't fear life

i am already dead

in death i am alive

i am nothing

and i live it

and i love it

removing beliefs

also a good habit

unless you like beliefs

then i guess, keep on believing

i believe a few things, but really i don't, but i do, but don't, but doont

i believe you are all quite beautiful

even you ugly suckers all sick and nasty looking

haha, just kidding

i'm ugly as all heck

nah im a gem of king, quite striking really

im all things and no things

what the heck is a "thing"

emptiness

vast expanse

infinite

somehow my body seems to stay connected

yesterday i mentioned in a comment on youtube that i may have an invisible umbilical cord connecting me to my physical form

my friend agreed, and she went with a "crystal cord" to describe it

trippy

im doing

im non-doing

im doing and non-doing the doing that doesn't do

it comes and goes

the omnipresence

the omni-emptiness

it can be embodied at will

once one "gets it"... must it be continually experienced?

i suppose there may be potential for things to be forgotten

practice makes purring kitty cats (no meaning meant)

thanks the empty space between the "physical stuff" of the atom...

the electron flying around the nucleus or some such

i've heard the body is really mostly empty space

and that the physical bits can fit inside a thimble with plenty of room to spare

i dont know about all that

i don't about anything really

not much over everything

lies lies lies!

i know a damn lot

but i know nothing

no really, i know nothing, i met nothing the other day and we went for dancing and drank a chocolate smoothie

sometimes while type, i can feel a seeming anger in my fingers

it's weird, interesting

i observe

my energy

some dude made/found some equation that says i'm like uhhh, just energy

mater is energy

emptiness

the artist needs the blank canvas

or some such

be the canvas

be

bee

buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

buzzz

buzzzz

watch out!

i could sting ya!

boo!

boop boop be doop

That entry was just what I need to read at this time--serendipity! I have been fretting about mostly little habits for a while now. I have bookmarked the link and intend to return to it routinely in coming months. Thanks ever so much for posting it!

You're welcome. It's quite timely for me as well, I am grateful to have happened upon it. Now I can't remember where but still, good timing.

People say that bad habits are hard to break, but GOOD habits are hard to break too.




My favorite raw vegan

Nice.

I like what Byron Katie has to say about changing patterns, that it is only a thought away. You decide to change how you think about something and it's done! No working on it for years, no suffering and striving to make it happen, just change your mind. Just like that. I've done it before, highly effective. Love that woman.

So my yoga program arrives in a couple of days, still looking for a work out program that I can do at home but I'm going out to get a chin up bar now so I'll be adding a great habit to my life this and next week. I'm excited.

well Coco, as far as working with free weights goes, generally speaking, I try to work with just enough weight to where I can do no more than 12 reps if I push myself, and then I wait 10 minutes and do another 12, rinse and repeat 8 times, and I do that on monday, wednesday, and friday, then get extra rest over the weekend and start again on monday...( I do this with both legs and arms) women are so different though, and I have no experience with female bodybuilders and their regimen, that im not sure how helpful I can be, or what specific exorcises would be best for you... ive still not been able to find the link I thought I had to some info for women wanting to increase muscle mass... testosterone shots would help, but I dont think that would be a good idea,LOL... I also do cardio in between my normal workouts btw, jumping rope is really really good, as is bike riding and running...

"exorcises"

heh

Jumping rope makes me pee my pants but I'm working on that too .

Yoga stuff, hurry up!

got get rid of those demons somehow one of my most commonly misspelled words, as I constantly mix up exercise and exorcise... in fact, I mix it up more often than I do Your and You're! lol...

Edit: Almost forgot to mention, I have been told that Kegal Exercises will help with your jumping rope problem, amongst the other reported benefits.

Misconception. Kegels are useless without a resistance device. I have done literally hundreds of thousands in the past dozen or so years. It's like lifting a dumbell but without the dumbell! Very ineffective. But I'm working on something and I'll bet you it'll be safe to sneeze and laugh and jump on trampolines in no time...

wellthat is interesting curator
that you mix up exercise and exorcise

maybe there is something to it

Get thee behind my free weights, Satan!

LOL!!!

just put it in the washer ( add a lil dr. bronner's lavender soap... y'all know which one that is.. yep... there are a couple of you bronner soapaholics out there... don't try to hide it... and there are some of you who put the soap in your hair too cuz you want to save a bit on the shampoo)

then the dryer

it can't be THAT hard

nuns do it all the time
