IF IT IS PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATION WE SEEK, in contrast to higher consciousness or the rewards found in victory. I have no problem with either, but traditionally we use endorphins, dopamine and serotonin at 0530 on Monday mornings. This ain't no disco.
Here is some additional commentary from Dr. Dan Levitin, and a video with guitar virtuoso Alex de Grassi on the subject, with solid commentary and wonderful examples.
For our purposes, and I mentioned it again this morning, we all march to the beat of different drummers. We all respond in completely unique ways when it comes to mixing music with movement. The frequency that resonates when we mash up a magical combination of graceful movement, motivating musical accompaniment and the aforementioned organic chemicals, varies significantly by user. I think we may have knocked on the door this morning. I hope you were there to witness.
We keep knocking until the request for entry is answered. And then we go inside.
To find that everything has changed. What was once no longer is. That ONE song, at that ONE cadence, with that precise amount of resistance, and with the perfect octane mix, somehow no longer gets us 'there'. And that, my dear friends is the importance of the now. Each now. Every cup of tea now, every breath now.
THIS SONG NOW.
That is the part of measuring and managing I really appreciate. The nuance of hearing, feeling, finding the zone, despite (or because of) that blend of rare and exotic ingredients.
Some days you get them all, others one or two. The days without are the hardest because you must solve the riddle as to where they went. And bring them back. Rewind. And play.
Then it's magic again. Ahhhhh. Here is what we had this morning for sixty minutes of ascending climbs to reach the 'round'. Big numbers. Big value. The faster you go the rounder you get.
