On Day 11 of my fast on water, coconut water, and minerals I just wanted to share what a typical morning looks and feels like for me.
So I woke up at 6:45am. For me its super crucial to have a routine. Going to sleep and waking up at similar times just really helps my body function and not feel like I'm disrupting my body's clock every morning to a new time. My body naturally senses when it's time to wake up and goes. I also feel that this helps me personally recover more on longer days. Even if it means I have to take a few more 15- 20 min naps through out the day, it keeps me in my rhythm.
So after giving myself 15 extra minutes to just lay in bed and not do anything but play some random phone app... nah... it was Clash Royale.. guilty! I threw on my work out uniform and got to a great 30 minute exercise included some yoga push ups, squat jumps, plank walks, and some good overall body stretches to keep the body mobile and really engage the core.
One thing that I've continued to see in having a workout regimen is that the more I repeat an exercise, the deeper understanding of it I have. For example, today was mostly focused on working out the core and we engaged in a yoga push up. I've sometimes heard of this push up also referred to as a Spider Man push up~~~~> for you all you web slingers out there ^_^. But in a previous workout I was killing myself engaging the wrong muscles for this exercise, overexerting my shoulders and chest, and forgetting all about engaging in my core, gluts, and thighs. This is all a result of not knowing the exercise deep enough.
The same concept applies to all aspects of our lives, whether it be Love. Whether it is our Art. It is a way to live life. We can only fall deeper into ourselves, fall deeper into love, and fall deeper into love with each other. In the path towards healing, it is not about getting it right the first time, it is not about the millions of times it takes you to "get something," it's knowing that we will heal. We are healing. It is expected of us to heal. For all future generations.
I had such a blessed weekend with the cast of BAM's "Word, Sound, Power!" produced by Mikal Amin Lee and directed by Baba Israel!! Shouts to OSHUN, Frank Waln, Lady Logic, Dj Reborn, and my dudes Dreams, Rocka, and Twice Light! I love you all Family! So blessed to have rocked with ya!
This morning my energy levels are feeling really great! I feel awesome after my work out! I'm about to surprise and visit some of my family today! I'm so excited to see them! And I'm also going to check out Maá speak in Brooklyn! She's the wife of the late Dr. Sebi was journeyed with him and put the herbal compounds together for 30+ years that were used to cure people of various diseases.
Feeling blessed. Have a beautiful Sunday Morning Family!!!+
