Re Human Day 3
This post is a part of my Renaissance Human project, a lifestyle where I’m developing myself in 15 areas at a time.
Today I went to my first Salsa class and noticed how eyes dance.
Daily Habits
Meditation: Yesterday I experimented with meditating at night. Today I’m experimenting with 10 minutes in the morning and 10 minutes before going to sleep.
Writing: First real writing I’ve done today is this post — and will also write something in my daily thoughts right after this. As I was writing this I just started writing that other post so here it is: Salsa and Eyes.
Piano: Today Flowkey asked me for my credit card — second day! I was feeling pretty ready to just buy their 3month membership because piano is now a daily habit but I still browsed around the web a bit to see if there were better options. I ended up coming back to Flowkey and did the start of their “Chord progressions for pop music” little course. Then she asked for my credit card again and I gave in. I think it’s going to be worth it.
Books: Today I finished Genius Foods and started Why We Sleep. I value sleep a lot and I feel this book will only make me into an even bigger believer in sleep. Recommended by my close friend and co-founder Max Deutsch.
Media Influencer: Today I posted an instagram story of the Salsa class.
Soccer trick juggling: I didn’t see as much progress as the past two days. Maybe it was because I was also listening to a book while the other days I was fully focusing on the practice. Wanted to experiment.
Fitness: Since I’m now trying to do one hand pull ups, I started with trying to do those instead of doing my “do as many pull ups as I can”. I still couldn’t do one in the way I want to be able to do them but I could do a couple with my non-pulling hand holding my pulling hand. I also worked out a bit of triceps, several 20 clapping push-ups sets, and obliques (side abs) because I’m also working towards the human flag.
Startup: Also great day.
Re Human Activity: Wednesdays is Salsa Dancing.
I felt like I learned so much. I joined the beginners class and was able to get a deal of $30 for 3 classes. We learned basic steps, basic turns, and some partner moves. I already linked the Salsa and Eyes post twice so not linking it again.
Connections, takeaways and Ideas for tomorrow
Feeling like so much can happen in a day. I’m energized throughout the day but get very tired right before going to sleep.
I feel like I need to figure out a strategy for posting on Instagram — I want something that’s actually valuable and not simply a picture of an activity. Will keep thinking about it.
