Exercises provide so much power. The difference between how I feel now and how I felt when I did just basic gymnastics or nothing at all is so huge. I noticed that there is a tendency to miss one or two days after maintaining a long sequence. Even if it’s just a set of morning exercises, which do not require a lot of energy to accomplish, I’m still obsessed with the idea of not overloading my organism. Ideally, I’d like to do morning exercises every single day and I certainly have a few hours daily to invest in it, but sometimes, there is an even stronger desire to get on the internet or just skip the routine and do something more exciting. Considering it from the point where I’ve just done the whole set of exercises, it feels so much better than anything I could possibly have done instead. However, when it comes down to starting these exercises, it often seems that anything would be better than doing them. How many times did I get this feeling, especially after accomplishing a set of extended exercises? How many times did I tell myself that this was what I had actually to focus on, what I had actually to think about in depth, what I had actually to prioritize over everything else? And then, always back to excessive reading, writing, learning, watching lectures, and doing all sorts of silly things. Not always, of course, since I “always” come back to the exercises as well—there is no perfect balance—but my point is that I don’t like to write about the exercises. I don’t like to search for any meaningful knowledge related to this area. I don’t like to repeat these awkward exclamations about how well and amazing I do feel. Hence, my attention is, for the most part, in a different place; and even when I’m doing the exercises, I’m thinking about youtube, or my gf, or something else unrelated to what I’m doing. Anyway, it’s just a remark to practice thought-control.
Yesterday, I made a speech talking to the recorder, which I’ve not been doing for a long time. While talking to myself in a way I used to talk, I’ve realized that the lack of this practice seriously held back my personal growth. I discovered so many useful things which could be applied to my current business, and got almost the same feeling as I got after today’s exercises. There is definitely a profound connection between physical and intellectual pleasure, so it’s hard to draw any border line between them. Today, I’m gonna do more exercises or go to the forest and run out there. In terms of working on my project, I’m gonna watch Cathrin’s videos, take a lesson on YCA (Youtube Creative Academy), and maybe write something. I contrived a plan for making the next video. If I go to the forest, I’m gonna record a 30-minute brainstorm, which is a first step of this plan.

It took me two hours to publish my stuff. There are lots of Chinese characters involved in my editing process, so this is what slows me down the most. I’ve decided to go to the forest and run instead of doing exercises at home. The weather is quite promising and I really want to make this 30-minute talk.
4:50pm.
Got back, took a shower, had dinner, watched one video, and now it’s time to reflect on what I recorded in the forest.
5:30pm.
Well, instead of reflecting on the video I recorded in the forest, I edited the one which I was working on the last week. Now, I need to create a good thumbnail and write a description.
“Creating great content doesn’t always attract subscribers to your channel, especially if you start from scratch. In this video, I’m sharing my story of uploading hundreds of videos on youtube over three years. I talk about why I did it despite the fact that there wasn’t any progress in terms of subscribers.”
