Time for a status check

Hello!

About 1.5 months back, I had listed a set of objectives that I'd lined up for myself. Now, it's time to rate. The scale is simple and is:
A -- doing well
B -- doing so so
C -- real bad
  • Practise breathing exercises regularly -> Anulom-vilom, Kapal Bhati, Pranayama

A... doing all of this regularly!

  • Practise sadhana/meditation -> calm your senses and find peace; increase concentration, sharpness and agility

A... doing all of this regularly!

  • Do about 20 mins of rigorous running - everyday on the treadmill

A... doing all of this regularly!

  • Maintain clean surroundings - orderly and planned living

C... not at all at the level I'd want to be in. Will keep trying.

  • Cut down on bad food and increase intake of fruits, vegetables and fibres

C... My intake of chocolates and junk has been on a record high the past week. Let me start getting better at this!

  • Maintain records - whenever, wherever possible and of course, make them easily accessible

C... Ok, at least I am starting to record updates on my calendar. A long way to go, but at least I have started, haven't I?

  • Service household equipment regularly -treadmill, chimney

B... It is A for the treadmill and C for the chimney, so that makes it a B. And I took efforts to fix the Electric Meter today. So that is not bad either.

  • Fill your home with fresh and good things - flowers, scents, inspiring wall decorations etc.

B... Another average score again. Hope to reach 'A' soon.

  • Paint - Indulge in art as much as you'd want to. Make it a point to gift art work to close friends and relatives

B... Restarted painting classes and was inspired by the exhibits I saw. Hope to do some amazing painting before the inspiration evaporates.

  • Music - learn to listen to and appreciate all forms of music (international included)

C... To be fair to myself, I am trying. 'EE' Rule helps this cause - EE btw is 'Evening English' while I travel back by car

  • Religious activities - visit temples regularly, chant mantras at home and fulfill all your religious necessities

C... God(the irony of it!) - a C again! Long way to go :(

  • Reading and Writing - Read at least 1 book a month and start writing again (am I not doing it already :))

C... Nowhere close to where I want to be.

  • Network and socialise - start interacting more with people; dont shy away from company

C... yet to start, that exoplains it all!

So the scores today read 3 As, 3 Bs and 7 Cs. Aim next is to hold on to As and slowly convert the Bs to As and wherever possible, Cs to Bs.

Watch out this space for more updates after a month!

Ciao!
