TUE DO 1'23 #5 ~ Pace music

Music has always been a big part of my life, especially when it comes to my mental health and emotional disposition. But as of late, it has also been playing a significant part in my physical capacity by helping to pace me during my runs. And this is is how to do it:

Pick warm up music to hype yourself up but also help focus solely on the run and not on the other people that may be around;

Search for or build an initial playlist filled with songs that have a significant beat that you can listen and keep in rhythm to;

Avoid random playlists / songs with varying beats and rhythm;

Test actual rhythm of each song (don't base on the BPM measurement) and find ones that match your cadence at difference levels ~ brisk walk, slow jog, regular run, final sprint;

Don't be afraid to play one song over and over again if it helps you focus more and be "zoned in" on your run. This music is not intended to help you look cool, it's to help you run better.

These are my pace music for 2022 and 2023:

2022

warm-up / slow jog

regular run

fast pace / final sprint

2023 (additions to 2022)

warm-up / brisk walk / slow jog

hype-up / fast pace / final sprint

Here's the playlist to the latest version of my Running Pace Music:

Hope this helps continue to set the tone and sustain the rhythm of future runs. Happy listening and happy running!

TUE DO 1'23 #4 ~ Digi Detox

Now that I have only have less than a couple of weeks before we depart for New Zealand for a long while, it's about time I stop half-a$$ing and double down on my Digi Detox PROTOCOL as part of my "A0K Manifesto" - Life Rules PROGRAM.

Although I was able to get off on a great start during the ALPHA and BETA stage of the implementation, I now find myself back where I started and out of control over my digital exposure. This ultimately means that I am wasting time even though I know I always have a limited (and now counted) amount of time.

And so I'm phasing to the DELTA stage of my Digi Detox PROTOCOL, and here's how I'm planning to do it better:

Pray the rosary or listen to music instead of watching youtube videos in the background while doing chores (e.g. dishes);

Always check and perform tasks that are overdue, pending, unfinished, planned, before opening tumblr, youtube, etc.;

After completing important and all pertinent tasks for the day, allocate a little time for digital media BUT avoid dawdling on random/toxic posts or videos and instead be intentional in choosing ones where there is something learn or gain that will ultimately with personal growth and achieving life goals;

Take time from time to time to streamline accounts followed or viewed to align with the abovementioned objective to avoid being overexposed with other useless or fruitless content;

If gamer gusto arises, make sure to game with free/extra time without conflict to existing schedules and plans, or proper rest;

TL;DR - pray the rosary or play music on the background instead, do your tasks first, and be intentional with digital media & games

Happy Digi Detoxing! God bless always.

TUE DO 1'23 #1 ~ Life Breathing Styles
