Forming Good Habits

I visit Yogajournal quite a bit, for a very obvious reason, of course, but there was this article in the site that I would like to share with you guys. It's called 'Track Your Habits'; quite an interesting read, I would have to say.

Our habits determine pretty much the outcome that we get in the end. I know that but sometimes, it is really hard to stick to something despite knowing that it is good for you. Ever tried to take one tablespoon of Apple Cider Vinegar every single day? Yup. If you've tried this then you will know the cough, phlegm and vomit inducing aftertaste is not something people usually look forward to. But we know it is good for us, don't we?

So, I recently downloaded an app from Google Playstore called 'Routinely' and I have been using it to keep track of my routines. The most important and useful feature of this app is that it has a reminder which will prompt you to do something so, schedule stuff in and don't dismiss them until you actually got them done. I use the app for stuff like 'take your vitamins', 'walk around and stretch', 'get on the bike', 'yoga', and yes, 'take a break'. Don't laugh, I actually need a reminder for that. LOL

The other thing is that when you leave a habit undone for some time, it will turn, first, yellow, and then it turns red. I don't like to see things turn red which often means URGENT AND IT NEEDS YOUR ATTENTION, AND YOU ARE NOT DOING WHAT YOU SET OUT TO DO.

So, if you want to kickstart some good habits, try Routinely. Simple to use, the interface is absolutely clean and the 'check' box is large. It makes you feel good when you are done and everything is in green color again.


XOXO,
Marsha

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night.  But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles.  Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared.  I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes.  REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film.  Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it.  It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
