Day 2

Today being a holiday I spent most of the time at home. So there was less action and hence lower chances to be vulnerable to embarrassment. Still I could manage to identify two WWTTs, no actually three. Yey! goal achieved for today!

One: Today when I started for morning jog I thought that after completing the jog I would sit in the meditating posture on the lawn at Ulsoor Lake where almost all joggers/walkers will pass through and thus see me. This may look like 'no big deal'. But for me, it is. And I did it. Initial plan was to just sit in Padmasana. But I ended up sitting in pukka meditation posture with palms open/streched.

Two: Today was a cloudy day with perfect atomosphere for photographing sun and sky. I missed my camera so much at Ulsoor lake. When I came home I thought of taking out camera and shooting few pictures from my window. Then I realised that the photographs would come out well if I tried from the terrace. But something stopped me. I realized it was yet another WWTT, which in fact had stopped my photo shoots many a times earlier. Now I thought it's an opportunity I don't want to miss - an opportunity to face WWTT not the photo shoot :)

Three: At around 9:30 pm I was home sitting on my bed listening to songs in my iPod. I was also sitting in Padmasana trying to see how much I can strech. I was also thinking that because I didn't go out I had less chances of facing WWTTs and that I must get in action. Just then Ram Ram Sitaram started. It's one of those songs/bhajans, which attracts my full attention and helps me focus. So I closed my eyes and streched my arms to form meditation posture. In a minute I sensed that my sister-in-law pass through the room. For a split second I thought let me get back to my normal posture. I felt that I didn't want others at home know/think that I was meditating. Surprisingly I identified it as WWTT almost instantaneously and continued in the same posture.

It feels good to a)identify and overcome WWTTs and b)to keep my word of listing at least 3 a day. In fact I am enjoying this now. I am dying to identify more and more WWTTs and challenge them.

Today's resolve: Jog and Blog everyday, without fail.
