Removing the debris

Even if we like decadence, vintage and antiques every once in a while it's good to remove the debris from our lives, literally and figuratively.

There's something liberating in a simple act of cleaning. According to Feng Shui excessive stuff aka clutter is a major obstacle for the free energy flow around and through us, and we need that energy in our physical, emotional and spiritual life. Can we let accumulated junk steal our lives? Of course not.

Old unused clothes, dirty yellowed papers, dead insects and dust in the corners, but also bad memories, excess fat and unwanted people - all dead weight should go. Who knows, if people, memories and souvenires are not the deadliest ballast...

By the way, why is it that some people, whom we would gladly consider gone forever, tend not only to pop out of the blue, but in many cases for some obscure reason are convinced that they are still loved and longed after, no matter what bad deeds they performed in the past? Some nerve... You too, vain creature, will become clutter in somebody's life, and someone will be happy to get rid of you and everything that reminds them of you.

Clutter - be gone.

Breath in, breath out. Positive energy. Smile. Live. Breathe.
Don't worry, be happy.

The way

This is about the path I'm going to take. It will be published and I will have no more excuses. There's no need for alarm though, it's nothing esoteric or very special, just some semi-diet and excercise to keep in shape after the holidays.

Part one - Food:

• fried stuffs are the work of the devil, especially french fries and chips of all shorts - to hell with them!
• white sugar is white only to disguise it's equally hellish origin - vade retro... if something needs to be sweet let it be healthy, vegan, natural, based on fruit, dark chocolate or brown sugar/honey;
• wine comes from the gods, so it should be drank with respect and in cerimonial manner;
• vegetables are good, pasta and cheese are not - time to invert the proportions...
• say no to late dinners whenever I can without starving to death.

Part two - Excercise:

• finish current ab excercise series (about 6 more days to complete the cycle);
• start Pilates (hopefully), in the begining maybe alternating with the abs routine;
• walk, walk, walk... nudge someone about an unused bicycle *cough*;
• at least every 2 hours at the office get up and stretch, walk around and stuff, after all I'm not travelling economy and I can keep this blood running up and down;
• think of some kind of alternative outdoors excercise/activity

Part three - General Health:

• call the dentist... yeah, call him and schedule an appointment...
• sometime in winter call the ob-gyn, she's a nice lady and all.

Part four - Indulgence:

• home-spa type with lots of nice smelling things in colourful jars
• indecent indulgencies will not be forgotten - they are good for the body, and for the soul...

But about soul, heart and mind maintenance we will talk on another occassion.
