At the end of the one-hour climb, the treadmill gradient dropped to zero, the speed dropped to 2.2, and the last five minutes of relaxation officially entered.
The first time I climbed for an hour, I felt relieved when I saw the 609 calories burned. Although it was not a lot, it was the highest I had ever experienced in fitness.
If you forget to look at the dark night outside the window, listen to the distant dynamic music masked by the roar of the air conditioner overhead, and focus on the row of green plants outside the window, you can start a meditation with your eyes open.
The sweat on the top of the head kept coming out, flowing down the cheeks and into the mouth, sometimes it was salty, sometimes it was light. Carefully feel the opening and closing of every inch of the cells, feel the gradually activated muscles, feel the interaction between hair and sweat, and feel the breathing on the forehead. Cheeks, nose, ears, mouth, feel the nerves in my teeth that are torturing me at their own unique rhythm, feel the muscles all over my body that are sore from yesterday’s boxing class. From your arms and legs to your ankles and soles of your feet, feel the connection with the earth and feel the energy your body draws from the earth.
I was very tired, almost to the point of death, especially with my sore muscles. At first I thought there was no way I could persevere.
The time to relax is quickly over. I watched my heart rate drop from 180 to 130. 180 is my maximum heart rate. In the past, the highest heart rate could only be 178. Suddenly I found that when the climb was about to end, I might have some expectations in my heart, as if I was about to reach the top of the mountain.
Just like in a cycling class, when the teacher leads us to the final sprint when climbing a hill with high resistance, "We are about to reach the top of the mountain, then hold on for the last time."
Persistence is really a thing It's very proud of you. If you persist in what you think you can't persist, fate will reward you with wonderful scenery. Thinking of Chen Yihan who insists on running eight kilometers every day, she said that persistence was the most difficult at first, but after running these three kilometers, she will feel that her body is so light that she can fly.
I think it’s amazing. Ever since I got a card at the gym, dancing, body balance, classes, running, and swimming have become a habit every day. Sometimes I want to be lazy because I’m lazy, and think about the lightness of standing on the treadmill. It feels like, just thinking about the bubbles in the blue swimming pool and forcing myself to go there, my whole body is filled with energy and all the fatigue disappears.
I remember taking a physical test when I first arrived at the gym. The coach said that my muscles were not activated at all. Later, I consciously felt my body, the rhythm of my muscles and the frequency of my heartbeat.
From the initial pain all over the body to getting used to it gradually, from walking on the treadmill to jogging for half an hour or an hour, from practicing cycling to participating in high-intensity cycling classes, every progress is a kind of progress. growing up.
I feel that my body is slowly being activated, I feel that my collarbones are getting higher and higher, my abdominal lines are gradually emerging, I feel that my body balance is getting better and better, and I feel that I can last longer and longer in each class.
Your body is smarter than your mind. This is what the teacher told me in a happiness class I once attended. As the first medium of feeling, I feel the revolution that exercise brings to the body.
Due to my uncoordinated body and stiff bones, when I first learned to swim, I could not get my feet into the water, and my ventilations always failed several times due to uneven ventilation. Therefore, I became a swimming pool swimmer. "Star student" because I'm so stupid, haha.
When after thirteen swimming lessons, I was finally able to swim for half a circle with a very uncoordinated and unsightly swimming style, with the rhythm of climbing my legs twice and taking a breath, the coach teased me. : "Have you learned it? Didn't you always say that you can't learn it? So you have to have confidence!" At that time, I thought the coach was very cute, and I was proud that I finally learned a new skill.
I really enjoy the feeling of soaking in the swimming pool. Although I can’t completely relax, every time I jump into the water, my mind goes blank and quiet. That feeling of freedom and relaxation often makes me feel Think of the sea.
Sometimes I feel so happy. I practice piano on Mondays and Wednesdays every week, dance on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and run and swim on Saturdays and Sundays. My days are full and comfortable.
I remember hearing the teacher play such a beautiful pipa song for the first time in the piano club. My hands freely shuttled on the pipa, floating back and forth, and the beautiful tunes flowed out. I never dare to think about when I will be able to practice like that.
The last time I went to practice, I no longer had to look at the strings, but directly looked at the music score, which made it easier to form a muscle memory.
In the past, she always paid too much attention to psychology and read a lot of psychology books. Now when she talks with her body, she seems to have entered another level of herself, discovering a self she has never understood or met. There is a desire to get better, like a soul.
Thinking of the happiness course I attended before, isn’t the way to cleanse the mind also through releasing the body?
When taking a shower, stand under the nozzle, feel the water column flowing through every cell, listen quietly to the rushing sound of the water, and think of a philosopher who once entered a state of trance during meditation and was struck by his own eyelashes. The sound woke me up.
In life, we always move too fast, pay too much attention to other people's opinions, live too much in the eyes of others, and care too much about success or failure, and often lose the most authentic self.
Talking to your body is the first step to finding yourself.
At this time, I really want to seriously love myself now, my true self. The imperfect self with many shortcomings. Hug yourself gently, pat your shoulders, and say to yourself: "Dear self, I have worked hard for you for so many years. Dear self, for so many years, I have never loved you seriously. Dear self, I will wait quietly. When your flowers bloom, don’t let me wait too long!”
Tsangyang Gyatso once said: Except for life and death, nothing in this world is trivial. Just like Wang Liang once told me, nothing that money can solve is a problem. Wang Xiao said, I take some things too seriously.
Perhaps if I had seen these words earlier and thought of them, I would not have been nervous or influenced by others during the second exam, and I would have passed smoothly!
However, even if you fail, you must firmly believe that everything is the best arrangement. Belief will always have one more chance than doubt.
Without this failure, I might never have such a realization, but would just repeat the mantra with worry and fear.
Think that you are really happy enough. Some people like my writing, some appreciate my personality, even my boss who is sometimes dissatisfied with me will give me a MUJI pencil case, and my boss never blames me for making excuses for not doing my job well. I was encouraged and gave me eye drops when I came back from Japan.
This is not an honor that everyone has.
Looking at the dark skin that had not faded from the sunshine when I went hiking on Yangshan Island last time, I suddenly felt that I was quite cute like this.
I originally planned a two-day hiking trip on the Huihang Ancient Trail this week, but it was canceled due to weather conditions. I just had a holiday weekend to watch movies and "The Story of Strange Pa" at home. I slowed down and still There are many insights.
After watching the movie "Girlfriend, Boyfriend", Gui Lunmei's acting skills have reached new breakthroughs; after watching this year's Oscar-winning movie "Focus", I saw the responsibility of journalists, who persevere in pursuing the truth. Of course It also avoids looking away from the inner tangle. Although I have graduated many years ago, I have never been on the news road. Seeing such a movie also ignited the sense of media responsibility in my heart.
The debate questions in two issues of "Qi Pa Shuo" are very interesting. They are similar to the things I have been thinking about recently:
Is a single aristocrat or a dog?
Do you need to be well-matched to make friends?
There is too much to say about these two debate topics, and I will discuss them specifically later.
Sincerely pay for what you like, live in the present, and work hard to do well. myself at this moment. Always believe that there is no one else outside but yourself.
Xiaozhi is right. If I were still in Shijiazhuang at this time, I must be living the life of a hushed-faced woman who looks after her husband and raises her children.
At this time, I am strong, independent, persistent, and hardworking. I am fighting for my ideals every day and trying to become a better myself.
Life is short and no one can predict tomorrow. We can only work hard to live well today.
Don’t sit under the grape trellis in the yard when you are old, watching the sunset slowly setting in the western sky, thinking of the things you regret in your life, and watching the plum blossoms fall all over the Nanshan Mountain.
Don’t care about the outcome, cherish the process. Even if you fail, having such a wonderful process once is a precious asset in life, isn’t it?
Don’t worry about success or failure, work hard and wait hard to become a better version of yourself. If you bloom, butterflies will come.
Isn’t life just like this, arduous treks again and again, and magnificent trips to the sea again and again?
Have faith that there is an extremely beautiful scenery ahead of your life. Move forward and fate will give you the answer. If you stop here, you will lose the chance to meet him.
So, dear myself, I will wait quietly until your flowers bloom.
Finally, I would like to share a poem by Tsangyang Gyatso:
I once thought that being passionate would harm my holy life
When I enter the mountains, I am afraid that I will fall in love with you
The world is safe and secure
Live up to the Tathagata and live up to you
