My Actifit Report Card: March 25 2024

meditating, doing house chores, reading assignment papers

Dear friends,

Yesterday morning, I meditated for about 30 minutes. I regularly tried to meditate - first I did Samatha meditation first and then changed to Vipassana meditation. In the former one, I tried to focus my mind at the point where the inhaling and exhaling air touched, which was around the nostril area and the place could change every time I meditate. And in Vipassana meditation, I observed the sensations on my body from top of the head to the tip of the feet. And when I saw any sensations, I just observed them without reacting them. The purpose was to see the nature as it was. And I also observed my mind - what were surfacing on it without reacting to them. Those are what I did during my meditation time.

Then, the whole day, I worked on reading assignment paper and tried to figure out how to answer questions. I usually took breaks and during breaktime, I did house chores - sweeping and mobbing kitchen floors and others. Yesterday afternoon during break time, I prepared paratha for snack; that was the second time making it. First time, I prepared using general purpose flour and it was not so good for making paratha. So, this time, I bought another kind of flour (they called soft flour I think) and now, the paratha turned out as I desired. Yesterday, I ate them with sugar. And today, I tried making them also bigger in size and with steamed bean curry. It was delicious.

Those activities were just a diversion from my attention from assignment work; I needed some time to relax my eyes, to reduce screentime. And I am happy with those activities.

Yesterday, I failed to go cycling and do physical exercises because I couldn't find enough time for them and it was the same for today because I have one more assignment from my SPGA class.

Those were some of the activities for yesterday.
