They say if you repeat something 5 times, it will stick-well, maybe it will start to become a habit, then repeat again. Muslims pray five times a day, Buddhist monks chant many many times a day. Other cultures and traditions repeat a pattern to gain some sort of enlightenment and to "stay the path." So on Day 5 of yogi in training, I am going to try doing something good for me 5 times a day. I've been doing a certain yoga pose 5 times a day-today it will be eating fruit. EVeryone says eating more fruit will change your health habits for the better-what if you consciously ate a piece of fruit 5 times a day? This may be a "duh" for those of you who already have this habit. For me, a worker bee, I tend to grab what's near my desk or in the teacher's lounge when hunger happens. This morning I'm loading up on fruits-thankfully we have a good supply on our kitchen counter-catelope, strawberries, an apple, and banana-a pear. I've never been so excited about a day!
I've made fruit a habbit in my life. It started out of necessity during incarceration. It's the best, cleanest digesting, source of fuel for my body. My taste buds prefer it now.
