My Powerful Mind

I was in Guangzhou recently and the following happened:

Tired.
Approaching evening. 
Waiting for bus.
Still 2 hours to go.
Not looking forward to long bus ride back.


I put on my normal morning running music.
Stood up. 
Found an empty spot. 
Started walking. 
Back.
And forth. 


My imagination sparked. 
Like I was running by the ocean.
At 6 AM. 
Morning sun shining down. 
Smiling. 
Muscles moving. 
Up the hill.
And down. 


I was walking.
Back.
And Forth. 


30 minutes passed.


It felt like I had just done my morning run. 
Happy. 
Mind relaxed.
Muscles relaxed. 
The same physiological experience. 


I had run my entire run in my mind. The effects post run were the same. I felt energized, relaxed and my brain was pumping out its happy drugs.

In a world where action is so talked about let us not forget the mind folks. :)

What has your mind done for you lately?
