Physical Intelligence - Day 5

Yesterday was interesting in that watching my team Tottenham on the treadmill led me to remain on it for 90 minutes but the interesting thing was what drudgery it felt like for 87 minutes when my team was losing 1-0 and then the goals started to fly in and with it my energy, three unexpected goals at the end of the game shot energy right through me, I even tripled the elevation of the treadmill because of what then was an unexpected 3-1 win and an important result in the context of the day.  Funny how an external tribal connection to soccer can make that much of a difference to one's mentality and desire.

Yet at 3pm when I should have gone to the gym, I passed on it do other things and yet again the cold hand of procrastination pushed the hour of gym to later in the day.   Later now means 10:30pm and so I am back to disturbing my sleep again - which now has been documented for over a year - seems like a hard habit to break. 

What I did do is attend an Improv group for an hour and after that get some books on creativity, which is fresh material to keep me motivated on the gym.  It is probably better that I find a job that has a large amount of physical activity involved in it, at least I know that I am getting paid to engage the monotony of being in the gym.  I still lack massive desire for physical intelligence to take hold but if the exercise is secondary to something I like doing, I know I will and have engaged it - but the habit needs cultivating.
