Liban woke up this morning at 5:30am; as opposed to 5am; he was supposed to write after 5a ; he did not do that; he did not also update his journal within two hours, triggering a fine of $5. If he misses tomorrow to wake up at 5a and write, he will pay $5 fine.

Liban meditated well today; working while stilling the body, listening to the humming sound, committing to lead more reasonable life. He does not know why he sometimes meditates well; is it good diet? Relaxation. before sleep through meditation and tai chi? Or is it due to all ?

Liban has learned new way of journaling: speech to text, using dragon any time; he has been doing this for a longer period of time; now, he will mine this data to solve outstanding problems.

Some of the coping mechanisms that Liban was not using are walking at faster pace, getting fresh air, doing chores, cleaning, organizing, running, taking breaks; he continuously skips breaks and then reports being tired or having back pain.

Liban’s efforts of stilling the body, listening to the humming sound have finally bore fruits: his body chose to relish stillness, restlessness has long ceased to exist as preferred operating system, serenity prevails in here. Work became now his retreat meditation venue.

Unless this is due to to being his Friday, the moment represents break from the past where restlessness was preferred method of coping with stressors present in his environment.
It represents union between work and meditation, being present in both worlds, a unification of a sort

Liban’s legs and feet became more stable, enjoying the sustained sitting and work; Liban did not sustain such sitting and working for a long time; it became surprise to him, suggesting to him that he may be presenting with ADHD and is need of stimulant to sit and get work done.

It seems to Liban that he was sitting but moving a lot creating no preference for moving since he was not getting tired from prolonged sitting. Today it was different; prolonged complete sitting forced him to move or desire to move. Rest causes movement and movement causes rest

Liban looks forward to resting and working at the same time; he plans to perfect this art which would have revolutionary implications on work, relaxation, interpersonal relationships, social interactions, and learning.

Liban is working on chosen task; he is not distracted and was able to solve problems; thanks to stilling.
