Pink Noise for concentration, relaxation and meditation

Pink Noise for concentration, relaxation and meditation So I have found that I can concentrate allot better when I have some noise to block out external distractions, Usually I use music and some ambient trance to block out any distractions and work harder by listening to music, I have found I can work longer and harder with deeper focus and concentration when i have music to focus on and create my own head space, But the music has become repetitive and also a distraction in its self, Which track to put on and the volume and also becoming borde of my music selection, I have found Royksopp to be very effective for working especialy their Album Melody A.M this album has worked for years. Recently I have started using my MP3 player again, and as it's been a holiday weekend I've used it allot to work on my blog and also to aid in sleep when my neighbors have been partying.  Once again music works fine but it has also been rather distracting and annoying at times...

Getting up early challenge over!

Getting up early challenge over! Couldn't do it, getting up early was hard, especially at 5am . This is not just getting up early this was getting up stupidly early. I mean this was torture, and the days when I managed it I was tortured. I felt like a walking zombie, the living dead. I think that even though I did not manage this task, once again it was something new. I have a new insight on the mind of someone who wants to get up at 5am. Damn this was too hard, waking up at 5am when the alarm went off then setting the alarm for 6am, then 7am then just getting up at the usual time. And since this for the first time ever I have slept through an alarm and been late for work. Ah no this has the opposite effect of what I wanted to achieve, I was more tired , more of a mess, a social ghost drifting around asleep and awake when everyone else was sleeping.  More realistic and something that I am currently working on is just not abusing my sleep , I need to get a certain amount of sleep so...

Nike Free Sole Flexible

This sole is Good , I have the Nike Free TR , which has a camouflage back and nice black colour, they are a cross trainer that look smart, so can be worn any time very functional , If you need to run any time I can break in to a full Sprint wearing the Free's . I've experimented with different types of shoes. But have found that using these I've been jogging more and more. Also found that I'm on my toes allot quicker. I really like just running on the spot and also climbing with these , the deep grooves down the middle really help to get a feel for my footing around the rope and where the edges are. I think with the Free's they do take a while to get used to, you need to become confident that they will provide just enough support on your feet. I really want to upgrade next to the Vibram FiveFinger's more than likely I would get the Ko's as I like the idea of the extra support they offer. And are a bit more covered up over the top of the foot. This sole is...

Getting up early day 9 to day 12

Day 9 Monday 9am I was absolutely tired and worn out, I had spent all Sunday training parkour and running doing body weight exercise, plus the outside air, by the time I went to bed I slept when the alarm went off at 5am I heard it but I was worn out and my body was aching, felt more beneficial to sleep the extra 4 hours. This experiment on the few days where I have got up around the 5am mark has really run me in to the ground. Still try and get up tomorrow, I really felt better for the extra sleep, my arms and back of shoulders were really aching today. Day 10 Tuesday 5.30am Got up at early today, put on the trainers and got out the house, went for a jog. Had a bit of a run then some walking, felt really great jogging at that time , there was a few cars about and people walking around must of thought he’s serious. The air was nice and clean and it really blew the cobwebs out of the system, took a while to get used to. The iPod headphones kept falling out of my ears while I was jogging...

Waking at 5am on day 6 - day 8

Day 6 waking up at 5am Starting to wake up before the alarm goes off, this is a sign that my body clock is starting to adjust to the new wake up time of 5am, By 10 or 11 Pm this is the time that I need to go to sleep. How does this make me more successful, I supposed I can spend? This morning did not help as its been raining hard the sky outside is dark and black, Today the tv went on for some sound , and the computer came on for some entertainment, there is live channels on tv and its weird watching the same people who are on at this time of day. I am tired, but I'm not going to sleep this one today.  Six days I've been getting up really early and all its been so far is just a new experience, I think at the end of this I would have gained the skill of being to get out of bed even when I feel tired and my mind tells me not to. Also struggling of things to do but I struggle when things to do anyway I think just having to get up early rubs this in my face a little more. Because n...
