Everyday, I start the morning by doing 2 x 2 mins of plank and 5 mins of Cold Shower (See #2). In order to help the time go by I listen to BBC4 which is the UK radio news channel. I am finding the news less and less interesting. I can expect a variant of the following:
- Trump made some ridiculous statement
- The Brexit negotiations descend into farce
- Some new European country is turning towards nationalism
- Russia denied that the KGB exists
- Macron (assisted by Merkel ) will save the world
- Students were killed in a shoot out in the US because they forgot to bring their machine-guns to school
- The latest superhero movie did really well/poorly
- Something happened in sport
- Its too hot/cold/wet/dry for this time of the year (this is a British radio station)
I'm probably oversimplifying but my point is that I find this increasingly repetitive and lacking in food for thought (and I'm supposed to be interest in current affairs). I think it would be better to have just one item of news a day. But that item would be discussed from all sorts of different angles and by different people. This way we would actually hear unexpected viewpoints and we might start to do some thinking. Lets move from unhealthy snacks to sophisticated three course meals. (You can tell this was a fasting day)
Ok, this is annoying. I posted 2 comments, none of which were published. I’m trying a third time.
ReplyDeleteFirst idea: I think you should be a president council but considering your pattern with bosses, you might have to run yourself. Second idea: I joined you in a day of health with wake up at 5:20, 1,5 min. Plank, 1 hour yoga, 20 minutes meditation, 2 minutes constructive rest, 1 hour walk with Chica, 5 minutes french news. About food: I fast à la catholique meaning I rarely eat meat, fish or rich foods. Compared to the days when you do eat, a feast, I might well be fasting more than you! On second thought, I think you should become a chef cook at a fine french restaurant over some quaint countryside river between Paris and Strasbourg.
I gave you 5 points for the completeness of your comment and the sponsoring of me for president. In spite of your persisting in taking 20% of a full cold shower!
DeleteOooh good. It worked. I forgot to mention my cold shower. I’m still taking them as the pressure is better than when its set on warm, despite the shower expert’s visit. I’m a firm believer of 1 minute cold showers as it saves on unnecessary water consumption.
