"It's just as if a man were wounded with an arrow thickly smeared with poison. His friends & companions, kinsmen & relatives would provide him with a surgeon, and the man would say, 'I won't have this arrow removed until I know whether the man who wounded me was a noble warrior, a priest, a merchant, or a worker.' He would say, 'I won't have this arrow removed until I know the given name & clan name of the man who wounded me... until I know whether he was tall, medium, or short... until I know whether he was dark, ruddy-brown, or golden-colored... until I know his home village, town, or city... until I know whether the bow with which I was wounded was a long bow or a crossbow... until I know whether the bowstring with which I was wounded was fiber, bamboo threads, sinew, hemp, or bark... until I know whether the shaft with which I was wounded was wild or cultivated... until I know whether the feathers of the shaft with which I was wounded were those of a vulture, a stork, a hawk, a peacock, or another bird... until I know whether the shaft with which I was wounded was bound with the sinew of an ox, a water buffalo, a langur, or a monkey.' He would say, 'I won't have this arrow removed until I know whether the shaft with which I was wounded was that of a common arrow, a curved arrow, a barbed, a calf-toothed, or an oleander arrow.' The man would die and those things would still remain unknown to him." TL;DR Stop overthinking everything and just do the things I am going to be moving the last week of this challenge but I know with all of the stress of moving I am going to need an outlet for all of the stress. So to remain simple this time I am just going to do a BWcentric routine and focus on my Linux training as well as some walking. BW 1K 2X a week So for my BW routine I decided to up my game a lil from my usual BW routine and do a modified version of the TT 1000 workout 2X a week: 100 Juping Jacks25 Close Grip Pushups25 Jumps25 Pull-ups100 Sandbag Squats25 Stick Ups50 alt bicycle Crunches 100 Close Grip Pushups50 Walking Lunges50 sandbag rows50 reverse Crunch100 alt bicycle Crunches50 Diamond Pushups25 sandbag rows50 alt Mountain Climbers50 Sandbag Squats25 Chin-ups100 Jumping Jacks Linux+ I am studying for my linux plus so I want to study at least 3x a week for at least 30mins I am currently using my VMs of different distros of Linux and using cybrary.it to learn my way around Walking 20 mins 3X a week I need to get moving and also even take a break while i am at work to break up the 11 hour day. I am usually pretty good about this because my kids like to get out and play when I get home. Side Quests: Language I am still working on my Spanish and I am using the HelloTalk app which lets me text and video chat with people who know Spanish and are learning English so we can work together and teach each other our target language. Wakeup: I need to wakeup at 430 at least 5X a week to have time to do my workouts and get ready for work by 6 Budget: I am moving on Sept 16th and will unfortunately be paying double rent because the apts I live in right now would not let us leave the 60 day notice a little early. So I made a budget for the next few weeks where all of my checks and bills are planned out, so I definitely need to stick to the plan to be able to make this move as smooth as I can. Mindfulness: I have been reading more books about being mindful in everything I do instead of just on the cushion so to speak during meditation. So I just need to continue meditating when I can and focus on remaining present in the moment and not spread my attention all over the place.
