Good news — another hour has just been added to every 24-hour day (don’t ask us how. We have powers). How do you use those extra sixty minutes?
I fit most things I want to do into my 24 hour day. Being given the gift of an extra hour would allow me to have no more excuses for the two activities I run out of time to do—exercise and meditation.
While I walk daily as part of my commute to work, any other exercise program is very hit and miss. I would love to flex my muscles weekly in other ways. Options I would like to investigate include:
- Aqua aerobics
- Cycling in the open air
- Resistance training
- Swimming
- Yoga
- Zumba class
The other area I believe I would benefit greatly from is developing a daily meditation practice. I like walking meditation. My preference is to walk bare foot on grass or sand—connecting with nature. My reasons for this are:
- Grounding me with the earth and its energy
- Stimulate the reflexology points in my feet
- Massage my feet improving circulation
- Connecting with nature reduces my stress and quickly clears my mind
- I love the feeling of sand or grass on under my feet—its a different healing sensation
Walking on the beach as a birthday treat
I believe a nice mixture of both of these activities will be a great way to spend my extra hour. They would be so beneficial to my health that I may need to reprioritise my current activities to include at least some of them each week. Both will give me more energy and creative awareness, which will be a blessing and worth the effort.
What do you need to reprioritise time for in your life? After all—this is the secret, I believe of getting an extra hour in our day. To make better use of the ones we currently have.
Learn to get off the internet would be good for me. I really like the idea of walking meditation as well because I too have found walking outside to be therapeutic and helps to relax my mind and sort out whatever is on it. Like the photo.
Thanks. My husband took it and it seemed to say what I was thinking.
