Long post and resolution alerts!

What are resolutions if not overestimations of ourselves? Like why do they come into play one fine day suddenly after the New Years?
Well, I don't know and I never have made any New Years resolutions in my life but there are decisions and affirmations I keep making and telling and sometimes I'm able to stick to most of them while other times I totally fail.
The wretched stench of failure clinging on right into a new year and here I am trying to rid myself off that awful odour that I'd promised won't be mine ever to begin with.

Almost three weeks of no workout save lots of yoga because of the annoying herniation of the cervical disc that kept me out of the loop of things and I can't help but hate on it a little more.
However, I did stick to the doctor's advice and floated with nary a worry almost each time I found myself inside a water body, be it a pool or the beach and I think it really did help me.
The doctors words echoing in my head 'instead of swimming too much, try to float on your back and look at the sky' and by the heavens I did exactly that and felt better .
Maybe it was the healing properties of the super saline ocean water or maybe I was just so relaxed those few days that aches and pangs of no kind even flitted near me.
I want to keep with that feeling and begin my workouts.
Starting slow is the key. Maybe just basic cardio movements before I take it to the next step, the entire transition taking almost over a week before I start lifting weights.
Being mindful is the key and I have to remember each time no matter what I do, that my neck needs to be in alignment with my spin and I have to look upwards at the ceiling for long minutes everyday.
Right then .

One thing I hope to be able to stick to which I have successfully done in the past intermittently before falling off the wagon every now and then is limiting my sugar consumption in tea and coffee.
Sometimes when the mood and weather strikes I up my tea intake and that means more sugar and that is exactly what I want to keep myself from overdoing.
I do not consume a whole lot but I do want to eliminate and cut corners because sometimes it can get a bit more than I want.

I want to be more regular with my writing, drawing, blogging and for that I have to go back to point one and keep my neck from feeling funny because it really affects my work a lot.

What else?
I want to wake up earlier that I can and try to stay that way instead of going back to sleep after waking up early in the morning.
I wish I could be a morning person and that has been my gripe because I absolutely hate waking up early each morning and I really want to amend these small things.

Also I need to find more tranquility in my being and stop being so anxious. That will be difficult because inherently natures are difficult to change but they can be worked upon and I need to not take stress the way I do.

Okay!
This is it for the time being.
More soon.
