Intense and good

Guilt free sleep this morning, a nourishing and restful one until noon (ca 10 hours). After the night shift and 4 hours sleep that followed it's exactly what was needed.

After sitting i have breakfast, and go shopping to asda. Then sit down to Maths (trigonometry) I find that after almost 5 years break my brain has a bit to catch up with and I need some practice to regain a fluency and competence. I also get irritated with myself from time to time. 2.5 hours of this and my brain is fried - I didn't take proper breaks, so something to look at.

But Chi Kung puts me back in shape and gives some mental clarity, which I notice immediately after glancing at my notes again straight after it.

JOTD, lunch.

...and more trigonometry. Notice that when i get things wrong (i.e. calculations) or get stuck with something my hips get tensed. Glad to see it, so I don't completely lose myself in head/study.

Enough. I speak with Ania, call my mum, then guitar work.

Day is slowing down at this point. I eat dinner, relax for a while and come back to guitar.

Then Chi Kung. Today is the last day of 2 weeks commitment to practicing twice a day - so 28 sessions in the last 14 days, about 14 hours of practice. It was definitely worth it and I'm going to keep it up like this. My sense is that the Induced Chi flow exercise is the right one for me to work with. I.e. during the flow today I noticed the release and cleansing going on in the hips area and then expanding along the spine and hands. Very enjoyable and healing experience. Also continue working on waist rotation, as it nourishes and heals the kidneys so it's a good one for me. Huray!

Catch up with journals and get ready for bed. It was an intense day.
