Mindful Living-Physical Exercises, Productivity and Creativity

Observation

Early in the morning yesterday, I went to Mount Dandenong for hiking.  I did the hiking very intensively. While I did not check my heart bit. It must be very high. I hiked for 2 hours in the mountain. I sweat a lot. Then in the afternoon, I went for swimming. Again, I did not do it lightly like a play. I did swimming very intensively for quite long period of time. last night I slept very well. This did not occur for quite some time. The following day, I felt my mind is very clear. My ability to concentrate is very strong. I am able to resist impulses and focus highly on my work. I feel highly motivated to act. I have very strong self awareness.  I was very conscious about my mind state and body state. I was highly focused on work. I was very creative on what I was doing. I has done a lot.  What is more important is the quality of the work I have done is very high, not only the quantity. I think without yesterday's physical exercises and good sleep, I  could not have  those creative ideas, I  could not achieve so much.
