London

Woke up at 8:20, bright, light but cold and wet outside typical winter weather. Said Amen and Good morning to the family group chat, sat at the edge of the bed, mediated for 7 minutes, did affirmations, did pushups x 4 sets of 8 reps with legs on the bed and hands on the floor.. checked the clothes, Black long sleeve tshirt, black jeans, long socks.. had a shower, offered 2 x rakaths of Fajr and Salah-to-Hajath, got dressed and while leaving home, heard someone talk about their mother on the podcast headphones on, then I sent love, blessings, and compassion to all the mothers of the planet, including some best girlfriends.. like MH and HS.

Got the bike out, headphones on turned Bloomberg Daybreak Europe business news on, and left home, wet outside, gloves were decent, Laurels, Union road, Stockwell, over to the Wandsworth Rd, past Nine Elms, over Vauxhall Bridge, by Tate on my left, past Lambeth Bridge, towards Westminster, St James Park got to work around 10 am… worked, worked, moved to another floor, worked, worked it goes quiet there often times, and all I could hear sometimes is tap tap tap on the keyboards.. call from bass at 13:30 for a quick catch up. I had already done 2 of my days for the week going in, today was just one off there was some work to do.. Left at 14:10.. rode back the same way with the headphones on and the podcast..

Home, offered 2 x rakaths of Jumma Salah, sat at the desk, opened the laptop, remembered brother last night mentioned, Neph is leaving tomorrow after the party, and mother likes it when you ring them as ask to see little Nephew Hamd, so I gave a ring, and I do love seeing him on the video call he’s only3 been 3 months on the planet, spoke to Dad also briefly, they were tying balloons all over home for tomorrows party, both parents seemed happy and chappy.

16:45 I got ready to go to the gym but started feeling hungry, so called off the plan to leave home in cold and grey and wet and sticky outside and stayed in and chilled at my bedroom until 21:05, went downstairs and lied on the sofa in the living room for an hour and put together a finance chapter for the website, still need to proofread that before publishing.. and now sitting down to write before bed.

In the news today,

• The Nasdaq 100 closed at a record high for the first time in two years.

• Israel and Palestine war – Hamas has fired rockets on Jerusalem from Gaza for the first time in two months. Air raid sirens blared shortly after 3pm as Israel’s Iron Dome anti-air defense system intercepted three missiles. (Telegraph)

3 things I felt grateful for today

• Felt so grateful, spoke to both parents, and they were happy tying balloons to the nephew’s swing, and stroller and planning tomorrow’s party.

• Felt grateful had a thick layer of hand gloves on when I left for work this morning I was glad I remembered to get them.

• Felt grateful, and had a long conversation with mate Henry in the kitchen this eve while I lay down on the sofa between 9 and 10 pm.

  What would it take for me and for you to wake up 10 x times bigger, thicker, more energetic, confident, relaxed, have a good workout in the morning, everything to be just fine, and then have a relaxing, relaxing, relaxing yet a productive day tomorrow and all negative mind patterns please get removed.. Goodnight, good luck!
