Reluctant Hearts

Some days, it feels especially challenging to send loving thoughts to other people. The phrase, "Hell is Other People" comes to mind and it's easy to find reasons why I'd rather keep my loving inspirations to myself.

Other peoples' behavior or words, or both, seem baffling, leaving me wondering how to respond.

It's easy to get caught up in drama. We've all been there. One person blurts out some injustice that was perpetrated against them and pretty soon, others join in, adding their own doses of miserable stuff. Momentum builds and it becomes a whirling mass of collective misery. I envision it as a small tornado that picks up speed as more people verbalize their issues and toss them into the mixture.

It then spins faster, increasing in power and sucks more people in. It has now become a Sucking Vortex.

Amidst the fear that I, too, will be unwillingly sucked into it, a realization comes over me.

This person needs to let it out.
I could possibly create a safe space for them to do this.
Just listen.
Breathe.
Realize it will pass.
Let it go and feel the energy dissipate.

As a kid, I saw floating hearts in a Scooby Doo cartoon, moving from one character to another. I call this image up and envision a cloud of chuckling hearts, each with silly grins, moving from my heart toward the other person.  Sometimes, it's just what they need. Turn those reluctant hearts into caring ones.

4 minute workout

The workout

Together with his wife and fellow fitness coach Toni, Saret demonstrated how the four-minute workout is done.

Saret begins by doing ten reps of jumping jacks, followed by ten reps of squats.

   

“Squats are one of the biggest fat-burning movements,” he said.

He then proceeds to do ten pushups. Assuring those who think they cannot do a decent pushup on the floor, Saret said: “You can use a wall. Going to the floor is actually an advanced move. You don’t have to go to the floor.”

The workout ends with lunges, ten for each leg.

Do that several times a day whenever you can fit it in. Or repeat the routine four times with 1 minute of rest between each round for a full 20-minute workout.  Noting how a lot of people do not like doing pushups and lunges, Saret said: “The ones you hate are the ones that are actually going to work.”  Those little bits of activity throughout the day boost your metabolism and can really make a difference in your health and happiness.

Now, do you have 4 minutes?
