Morning, walk on cloud 7
When I ran my marathon, I eventually came to the realizations that a certain heart rate is associated improvement and growth
Therefore, they must be a heart rate for normal relaxed
Just like curing an addiction is reprogramming the body response to mental stimuli
If you intentionally move your body, despite your brain signals. Your heart rate will have to follow suit
I did tai chi on beat(ish). Realized if there was a constant beat it matches each breathe. Duh tai chi. Oh to each movement.
Oh it’s just a dance!
Keep with the beat.
Too hard?
We’ll start with a slow worship song of Acapella (representing synchronizing the brain tribute in the right state because it is a voice only in rhythm
Add in very subtle constant base
Mix in slightly faster pace song
Maybe change movement/dance every 4 bars
Allows room for grace of missing the first beat
Better to have a song you don’t know
Can only listen and focus on beat
If you are singing and don’t know the lyrics…
Pause singing
And listen
God is probably trying to tell you something that you are mumbling over him
Glory to God
His Mercy is everywhere and endless
If a song speeds up, it is still in beat
Constant
Every opportunity to move toward the delta
Is an invitation to join what is good for you
If you are too early
You will wait longer
But you have longer to be prepared for the next opportunity
If you are too late
You’ll get to the next opportunity faster
You need to be prepared in a short amount of time
No time to wallow
Allowed to play all you want between or even sometimes on beat
As long as you come back to The Beat
