I woke up on refreshed this morning. No alarms. No noise. No disruptions. Woke up when my body said I was done resting. My Oura informed me that I had slept very well and I was ready for a good day energy-wise.  

I did some breathing exercises. I have been thinking about Wim Hoff and his breathing techniques lately. I would like to try them at some point. 

Then I arranged my bed and went outdoors. A recent podcast I read mentioned the advantages of being outdoors and allowing your eyes to get sunlight within 30 minutes of waking up. It was the first time I deliberately allowed myself to do this right after waking up. It actually felt good. The sun wasn't that strong and the breeze felt good on my face. I stayed outside for a solid 10 minutes walking leisurely. I was surprised at the mood boost I got from that short activity. 

I then proceeded to get ready for the day. I packed my lunch and set out to WeWork.   
I drove for 35 minutes and managed to get a good parking spot. I went to my favorite section and got myself some tea with milk - Indian Chai. Next, I proceeded to get 2 big items off my to-do list. 

Some interesting things - I signed up to Oprah's book club. (I will share the why in a post in the near future)
I signed up to Critiquecircle. I want people to critique my work cause I have to improve. I am a fan of getting brutal feedback. It is the fastest way to improve. 
I took a masterclass for writing by Malcom Gladwell. The man is interesting even while he is teaching a course. And I picked up a few tricks. I intend to put to use in posts in the future. 

I documented my day on my google sheet tracker and called it a day. 

I left WeWork and met some friends for dinner. Talked about old times and had a good time. 

A nice day.
