Motion in Emotion - It is for a reason

Over the years, I have observed that doing extraordinary things is sometimes a little easier than doing the ordinary and necessary. We often deliver projects well or achieve more than our target for the month but would not have managed to make our bed, cook our meal or take a walk. In the literal sense, extraordinary is that which needs a little extra but looks like we're living in a time where the extra is what the ordinary tasks require. 

Over the last decade, health has been a portfolio where I've tried to invest consistently. My personal experiences within the family, watching some near one's bargain for more time and witnessing some hitting the finish line, have been growing on me steadily. Even in the most casual conversations, when I hear a statement or comment where the body and life we have is taken for granted, it gets me restless and sad. 

I always embraced routine and the ordinary. It genuinely helps me even through the days when my extraordinary plans don't work. Staying active is also something that I began nurturing as my routine over the last decade. While the initial few years were sporadic regimes, experimental and chasing the scale deviations, over the years, it streamlined. 

From setting goals like for this event or trip, I need to shed to not stepping on a weighing scale for more than 6 months took almost 8 years of learning and feeling. As someone who has and continues to have an equally demanding game with taming the mind, this investment in the body has not been an independent affair. Though it all seemed like working on different aspects of life initially, I couldn't agree more with something I'd written down in my notebook a few months ago -
"When my mind is tense, my body feels easy breezy - like it will just fall down where it stands. So I try to induce tension into my body - and the mind becomes easy breezy. 
Because what's sound is a tight body and a light mind. 
This works."

Motion in Emotion is for a reason

When we focus on doing ordinary tasks in an extraordinary way, I feel it helps us tackle extraordinary goals in the most ordinary way. 

So what on your "ordinary to-do list" needs some extra?
