Zumba and Vipassana

With the exit of July, I was hoping for temporary respite from all that has happened in the last few weeks. Unfortunately, it seems like I will have to smuggle some more patience within me to keep myself from going insane. I do not suppose the problem is of over thinking since what I think is pretty much everyday mundane stuff. In recent times, I have started disliking an individual for everything they stand for. Desperation. Selfishness. Opportunist. I just need to keep my distance and be careful whenever I am forced to be around this person.

In other news, two evenings back I had a good talk with one of my brothers who has been going for Vipassana meditation for over nine months now. The thought has occurred to me for some time but, so far, I haven't felt like the time is right. Agya told me that time would never feel right and it is up to us to take the first step, even if reluctantly. I agree with him. So, I have made this conscious decision that this winter I will go for the eleven day course come what may. I could be proved wrong but I feel quite a few answers to my ponderings lie in meditation. I did try meditating a few times before but all in vain. Maybe if I share this experience with like minded individuals, the transition will be smoother. All these confusing thoughts must be channeled in the proper direction for me to see the world with a clear mind.

Other than my thoughts, I also need to tone down my weight. The months of home cooked meals are finally getting the better of my body. Zumba lessons seem to be the rage in recent times and I am set to join the bandwagon come Monday. There are 6:15 am classes which suit me perfectly, unlike the 5:30 pm class which is overcrowded I hear. With two decisions made in a span of three days, I am already starting to feel better about the times to come.

Once I get rid of the Zumba virgin tag, I shall be back to give an update on my experience. Cheers.
