It was another fantastic day in paradise.



Are some of you like me? I seem to be getting annoyed, frustrated, disappointed, impatient, and shocked by the condition our society is creating. We made a dramatic shift in our collective consciousness during the global pandemic. Fear is the opposite of love. Fear paralyzes, hurts, harms, and hinders. It’s like everyone stops thinking all of a sudden. What has happened to us? People don’t think clearly before speaking and taking action. People’s attitude and behavior makes no sense. 

I’ve made many negative choices, and I’m the last person anyone should ask for advice. All I can tell you is what I am doing with my life. For example, this is how I begin my day at about 6:00 a.m. 

I take deep breaths, allowing more oxygen to flow throughout my body and brain. I do two sets of 25 deep breaths, inhaling through my nose and exhaling out my mouth, holding my breath for 45-60 seconds between the sets. Then, I begin a 65-minute non-stop physical program that includes breathing, stretching, karate blocks, strikes, and kicks. I start all joint rotations: wrist, elbows, shoulders, hip, knees, and ankles. I alternate the exercises between arms and legs. When I began these exercises, I did five repetitions, and now I am doing 50 repetitions for each set of arms and legs exercises. IMPORTANT: execute all blocks, strikes, and kicks using the forced breathing. It’s like doing a karate yell by forcing the breath out with each block, strike, and kick. My mindset is to be my best when executing each technique. I have created a “training vocabulary” that helps me focus on each method's quality. After doing two hundred repetitions, I do five forced breathing techniques before continuing.

At the end of each session, I sweat as if I had been in a sauna for 30 minutes. 

This is one of the best ways to start my day. Decide what exercises you enjoy and create discipline to reap the benefits of this lifestyle. 

Take every opportunity to improve the spiritual, mental, and physical aspects of your humanity. Remember, the quality of what you eat and drink will become you.
