Healthy Habits - Day 11

Reflection: A fish taco and coleslaw at The Tin Fish cost $5.50 -- a delicious gluten free meal that was so big that I couldn't eat it all costs less than most McDonald's meals. Time alone can be just as joyous and productive as time with others. Time alone allows one the space to take in the world and the people in it -- Oh, what a beautiful world!

Day 11

Fitness

• Evening: 3mi run around lake plus 3mi walk cool down.

Mindfulness

• Morning: 5-Minute Meditation when taking an outside walking break
• Evening: 5-Minute Meditation
• Daily Readings: Detachment

Our greatest efforts must be directed towards detachment from the things of the world; we must strive to become more spiritual, more luminous, to follow the counsel of the Divine Teaching, to serve the cause of unity and true equality, to be merciful, to reflect the love of the Highest on all men, so that the light of the Spirit shall be apparent in all our deeds, to the end that all humanity shall be united, the stormy sea thereof calmed, and all rough waves disappear from off the surface of life's ocean henceforth unruffled and peaceful. Then will the New Jerusalem be seen by mankind, who will enter through its gates and receive the Divine Bounty.
(Abdu'l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 87)

The prime requisites for them that take counsel together are purity of motive, radiance of spirit, detachment from all else save God, attraction to His Divine Fragrances, humility and lowliness amongst His loved ones, patience and long-suffering in difficulties and servitude to His exalted Threshold. Should they be graciously aided to acquire these attributes, victory from the unseen Kingdom of Baha shall be vouchsafed to them.
(Abdu'l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Bahá, p. 87)

Food Log

• Breakfast: Paleo Egg Muffin
• Lunch: Half Black Bean Burger & Fries (Reflection: Portioning half of your lunch order at a restaurant off and placing in a box for later is very helpful for portion control)
• Dinner: Tilapia Taco in a Lettuce Shell & Coleslaw (no mayo - vinegar based)

Tomorrow, I commit myself to a calm demeanor and lots of list making.
