Week 2 ❤️

For my physical disruption this week, I decided to push beyond my usual workout routine. I trained for longer and added some exercises I had wanted to try for a while but had avoided because I was afraid they would make me too muscular. I added dumbbells starting with 7 kg then 5 kg and eventually dropping to 2 kg.

The first few days were definitely uncomfortable. I had more muscle soreness and fatigue than usual, but I completed the challenge and adjusted the weight afterward.

I actually enjoyed these exercises and would like to keep them as part of my weekly routine, just not every day. I will continue with 2 kg for now.

I realized that I had allowed a fear based on an assumption to keep me from trying something I genuinely wanted to do. Sometimes you have to step outside what feels familiar to discover what you are actually capable of.

For my Field Notebook, I went through a situation that left me feeling disappointed, especially because it didn’t match my expectations, even though I had tried to look at it without judgment and give it the benefit of the doubt.

I did the Revision exercise. The event still comes and goes in my mind, but it no longer carries the same emotional weight. Revision helped me change how I felt about the event while Memento Mori gave me another perspective on how much attention I choose to give it.
