400 Not out

400 Not out what a crazy headline…..

Bear with me ..let us explore and understand together the headline more easier.

Everybody knows treadmill ( more now ..thanks covid -indoor mandatory working).

If you the treadmill then it is easy to follow the next …..A normal routine for normal ( read normal ) people who hit the treadmill routine to keep themselves alive and flexible start with a regular speed of let us 5 points and some inclination say 5 points …..

First 100 calories goes quickly ..then the next 100 starts looking and tells the mind that todays workout should start ending anytime ….say 200 ….then mind says no..no…crime….work for another atleast 50 more and make it a round figure of 250 calories …..say 30 of 40 % burnt of normal healthy food intake ….healthy word important …note that ( offcourse unhealthly can be anything……ha..ha )

Now let us change the speed and the inclination and mindset to a serious hard work go-get calories . Speed let it be the same 5 points ..incline double to 10 then the first 100 goes ok but then sweating …..for the next 150 ….for the same target as the first episode.

Now I personally wanted to go the third level ….I did the second points of 5/10 and went to 275 with gusto and then …..I found mindself floating…rthymic …flowing and body became light and then the champion mindset of breaking …started coming to my body…….next 75 till 250 went very smoothly …now i wanted to extend the flow to 400 ……

Now this is where the mind started playing breaking to the flow…because it said 400 will the end …and 370 to 400 was tiring…( mentally ..not physically)

then Eureka….400 not out………..

Now the learnings which i learnt was that

a. It is the mind only baby…only the mind ………

b. You can do it ..just persist and train your mind to achievement

c. there are mindset bottlenecks ( 275 ….and more) but once this barrier is broken …it is nirvana and FLOW which gives pleasure ..joy of achievement

d. ENJOY WHAT YOU DO……VERY IMPORTANT….things become easy and unsurmountable tasks become easy.

f. Your selfworth and appreciation in your eyes goes up

More …More…More…..It was a simple act but said everything every self help blog reads say every day .

The most important here to state is the health or treadmill was never a priority for people like me for a long time in my life till last few years …..and that made the above blog an inspiration to write….

BREAK BARRIERS …IT IS EASY………IT IS THE MIND ..IT IS THE MIND ..IT IS THE MIND
