Physical Intelligence - Day 27

Yesterday I did make a progressive step in declaring "Zero is Hero".  Only problem is that when food time came I noticed that in our household groceries and food purchases, just how much is invested in food that I decided to eliminate yesterday.  Where there was a healthy choice, it was not appetizing or appealing or it was a solitary item like the package of strawberries.  We live communally and the chief shopping list contributors is more influenced by our kids because there are so many of them.  What they find appealing is mostly ZERO right now for me.

So it was good that I met my resolve but I am limited in choices and because consensus is our way I am basically out-voted by a factor of 12 or more.  Moreover I don't actually know what it is I want because I don't fully understand what is good for me or not.  The act of deciding what is good or not is subject of opinion and OPINION is the dominant currency of choice here.  I would love to say exploration is the dominant currency of choice but it is invariably always opinion. 

This is leading to creating a distraction and distractions are not helpful, if anything they ameliorate difficult or challenging thinking, whose answers may not be right.  This leads straight to the kind of thinking which is a known to end one's will for exercise, trying to establish the perfect situation or scenario.  The video's I listened to today carry a similar message and theme beginning with a guy who calls himself "Modern Health Monk" :

Again the video falls into the realm of opinion, so that is the constant caveat. I am good with the suggestion that we should not look to average people to establish superior results, but flashing a more perfect body is no different to wishing for the perfect situation.  So the shared focus becomes action, though I value the process of thinking, since without thinking what then is the nature of my physical intelligence exploration.

It is always good to get second and additional opinions about distraction, while recognizing one's own answers to distraction, because we are the best people to answer serious questions we ask others about what is happening within us.  We ask others to read our being and mind because often we are too lazy to engage that reflection before we look for external answers. The video I listened to is a broader view of distractions beyond physical intelligence :
