Truly fascinated by common virtues of legendary warriors and great yogis from mythology and fiction. Enjoy studying deeply and read more about lives of such characters. Learning from fictional writings is so underrated.
This further inspires me to emulate such highly desired virtues and force me to structure lifestyle habits around achieving them. The more I think of them, the more I feel challenged in my daily life. One important virtue that I have been developing for some years is patience.
A helpful way of developing patience for the long term is being calm in the moment especially when in an unprecedented, difficult, undesirable situation.
I learnt to be calm in most situations simply by deciding to. I have experienced several highly overwhelming moments where I was stunningly calm and tackled them patiently, keep the big picture in mind. However still sometimes times I show stressful aggression in little things.
While I am proud of keeping a mostly composed attitude, I plateaued in improving myself on this trait. So I decided I need to take further action on this.
One interesting and exciting starting point of building perpetual and habitual calmness looks to be the popular practice of meditation. I find it difficult to understand how it truly works and I will continue to research on it. Also starting today I tried it & it looks promising.
To ensure I do it well and do it justice, I have realised it needs to be an essential part of my daily lifestyle. Building on that framework further I have decided to be fundamentally strict with my bedtime routine.
I genuinely want to get 8 hours of best and most peaceful sleep. Wake-up and sleep at the same time. And experiment with the #5amclub #fiveamclub. I am known to be an early sleeper but I haven't been consistent. But I want to improve on that now.
I hope by bringing about this small change I can also develop some virtues of the legendary people of the epic stories that inspire me.
I don't know why I made this thread or why I had to share all this. I am just using Twitter as my personal diary. It's my private thoughts made public because I realised the best liberation is being yourself everywhere, everytime.
Be authentic as @garyvee always says. For creating content or otherwise, doing things that you like and are good at and simply sharing them creatively can do wonders too right? Goodnight with that #foodforthought
