Self preservation is not only for zombies

A few weeks ago I've started a new diet that does not involve beef at all. People ask me why the sudden madness and I just claim that I never really liked beef. But I guess it's because of a cleansing transformation I'm trying to provide myself with. I've never been conscious of myself even back when I was younger. I was never the type to give importance or weigh on the opinion of others regarding how I look. but now that I'm literally maturing, I decided to put upon myself the responsibility of a healthy lifestyle. What does this mean?

MIND

BODY

SPIRIT

Simple right? Three core objectives and vital elements to create harmony and balance to a being.

To be brutally frank, I don't have knowledge on how I will go upon improving myself. What I did start practicing lately is meditating. I've been into meditating back when I was young out of mere curiosity. But even then, I've appreciated the effects of the practice and I've been reading more on the techniques that I need to apply to get the utmost results I can get on my level. So far I am able to clear my mind and bring more focus into the things that I need to work on more because of meditating. It doesn't hurt to meditate at least 30minutes a day. Some say it seems tedious to be able to accomplish 30 minutes. But if you choose the best music to accompany your experience and you have an open mind and heart for it, you will notice that time just melts away.

Another would have to be starting to appreciate yoga. I would really prefer Tai-chi, but not a lot of studios offer the knowledge and the only place I know that offers it is in UP and is held during Sundays. Sundays is strictly family time for me so no responsibilities on that day. :) My body has been out of shape and my flexibility has definitely deteriorated since I stopped dancing 4 years ago, but I am slowly trying to bring it back to its original state. If I do decide to advance, I would want to try Bikram Yoga, which is yoga done in a heat controlled room similar to a sauna. That way those who are training themselves with the craft are also able to learn more on discipline of the mind and focusing more since it is quite difficult.

Lastly is brushing up on more knowledge. Be it reading more books and reading up on literally everything that i find interesting such as Astrology, herbs, goddesses, the green and animal kingdom (nature. :p), phenomena, myths, history, countries, cultures, religion, mysticism etc. , I make sure that I still read read and read. After all, it has been my passion since I was really young to literally just read a lot. Also, brushing up on my grammar and pronunciation/enunciation. There will always and definitely be more room for improvement.

I'm getting tired of typing and it's 5:02 in the morning. Now that's one thing I think I won't be able to improve on just yet and that's my sleeping habits. :P
