Today has been one of the most interesting, enlightening and fulfilling days I've had in a long time.
Firstly, meta-cognition. I gained a sudden awareness of my meta-cognition this morning in a eureka moment. I saw with my minds eye how I seem to have pre-defined labels or characterisations for every thought that I have. In a neo matrix like moment, I decided to remove these and just allow myself to be.
This extended into how I perceive other people. When I was walking past other people, straight away the labels and definitions started firing and I consciously removed these. I ended up coming into the present moment and experiencing them as they were.
Part of the reason why I'm writing this is to journal for myself and remember just how profound this was for me. By allowing myself to just be, I found an enormous measure of peace and freedom. By removing all the labels I've attached (even to myself) it's easy just to get on with it and be mindfully at peace with my life. I matters not where I've come from or what I've been through, it only matters where I am now and where I'm going. It's easy now to just "shake things off". Committing to a mindfulness practice would help me grow and sustain this understanding.
Today I also substituted coffee with green tea. Two tea bags (double shot) and I feel infinitely better than after a coffee. Very zen and very calm. Also very switched on. Diet continues to be incredibly healthy, I consciously decided to remove chocolate today.
I've had amazing recall of prior learning, especially when connected to a concept at hand. Articles I was reading last night seemed to have been already integrated into my being.
Also noticed that ALL areas of our lives are interconnected. Having powerful goals in bodybuilding is inspiring me to pursue my studies with greater determination. Putting pen to paper and writing out goals makes all the difference. Motivation is red hot. Strong urge to train my brain to be fit and brawny.
I'm also feeling really spiritually powerful and this is starting to grow. Another notable is my new found penchant for listening to classical music in the evenings.
All in all, very happy with my progress.
