Minamilist day 3. Catching myself humming a tune 

Alright, it's still very early in the day and I've only been at work for 20 minuets so far but I actually caught myself humming when making a cup of coffee. As I caught myself, I realized that this is usually a weekend occurrence and it had been a fair few months since I last remember doing it, however is humming ever noteworthy? 


When walked out of the house this morning something felt different in my bones and it felt good. My joints felt a little tired but as I pushed forward somehow I felt a bit less stiff. Maybe it's just a mind thing, but I enjoyed my walk this morning eventhough the fog hung low in the air in a muggy, close sort of way which usually makes me all clammy and sweaty. It still did but i'm not mad about it like I usually am. Maybe it's just a case of getting out the right side of bed this morning. Either way, I feel like today is going to be a good day. 


Last night first the first time in a long time I did some exercises. Nothing crazy, no big-it-up style weights/stretches or stances, just my old routine and it felt good to start again. The first day always feels good and is always full of promise, who knows if i'll be able to do the same today but I definitely want to make it a part of my daily routine. It dawned on me two facts; both my parents make a point of exercising every day, both at different times but for the same reasons; to keep supple and less painful joints. It also occurred to me that I am mindful of getting older and I make an effort to factor this in to my evening routine, such as (nothing groundbreaking here) moisturizing my face and have done religiously every day for the past couple of years or so. Why can't I make the effort with the rest of my body? This is going to sound so...repetitive! I've no doubt I've said something along these lines in multiple entries of the past, all these grand plans to get fit, start running, start going to the gym, dieting. But this feels different this time. And it's going to be purely personal, something I'll keep only to myself. But, surely it can't be a bad thing. Over time, I might be able to feel improvements and then who knows, see some as well. 


It's time to start these new years resolutions two months early! I'm going to see if I can keep this up for a couple of weeks and see how I feel about it. There's nothing to lose and a lot to gain. My head space is already feeling so much clearer, imagine how I could feel in a months time?
