We all have the same 24 hours in a day, a total of 1,440
minutes. The way in which we use this time determines whether we will be
actors or spectators in life. There is a time for everything and everything
in time. When we consciously analyze what we do and how we do it, we enhance
our ability to achieve our objectives.
The numbers which follow are not the same for everyone; they
are, however, representative of the percentage of time we use for different
activities.
While we have little control over the quantity of time
certain activities take, we can always augment the quality we give to each.
We all have a certain degree of liberty over our time, though we frequently
lament, “I don’t have time for anything!”
To direct your destiny, I propose you take 2.22%, equivalent
to 32 minutes of your time, and invest it directly in yourself. 2.22% is the
small difference which can reap great rewards.
What can you do during this 2.22% of your time to make this
tremendous difference?
I’m so glad you asked; I have the answer!
It is simple, yet far from easy. I suggest that for 2.22% of
your time you realize some type of exercise. I can almost hear the groans of
anguish coming from my screen as you read these words. “Please, anything
other than exercise!” you may be thinking.
We can make excuses or we can get up and take action. We all
know we should exercise; few of us actually do something about it.
 “Where
do the 32 minutes come from?” you might ask.
I have designed an exercise program which uses the number
"eight" as a base. It consists of 32 different movements. It includes
eight breaths per minute for each of the 32 movements. In total, 256 deep
breaths are incorporated into the 32 minutes. You can see my nephew David
Martín doing a condensed version with two breaths per movement which takes
eight minutes
here:
Our breath provides us with oxygen and energy every day.
Dedicating time daily to focus on our breathing and doing physical exercise
nourishes our body with drops of well-being every day.
Do your 2.22% in whichever way you see fit. It is not my way
or my 32 exercises which are important. Fundamental is taking the time every
day to promote mental and physical health through exercise. Take 2.22% for
You daily to be an actor rather than spectator in life. |
