I finally cracked the 5-minute target for the 100 push-ups. ππͺπ½βπ½ππ₯³
Todayβs Milind is happier π than the Grumpy π‘ Milind yesterday. I am so glad that I did use that βfailedβ strategy yesterday; It helped me achieve this goal and let me tell, things are only going to get better from here. π #markmywords

Taking all the required learnings from yesterdayβs session, I had only one goal in mind – βBEATING 5-MINUTES FOR 100 PUSH-UPSβ. Before actually starting the push-ups, I told myself I must do this whatever it takes. I think the fire π₯and spark 𧨠that I was missing since day 1, finally came to light today and was enough to lift ππΌββοΈ me up and achieve my highly coveted target π―. If you want to use one word to describe this feat, it will be βFOCUSβ.

I think I did not aim for beating the maximum number of push-ups in a single rep. I believe it was the byproduct of the strategy that I used to reduce my time below 5 minutes. Funny how things work. One thing that I learnt today was apart from the breathing technique and the posture for the push-ups, we also need focus to accomplish this βmammothβ π° task. If you think about it, the first two are physical aspects of this challenge, whereas the latter one is the mental π§ . It is very important to be mentally prepared for achieving something in life, coupled with the physical characteristics for it. I guess, I let myself be a little motivational there. π

I have only one learning in this session – π’ FOCUS, FOCUS, and more FOCUS.
We must have a tunnel vision in life what we want, and should go all in to achieve that. I have had used it before, and am still using it, and it seems to be working for me so far. ππ½

Time to pay close attention to the Time-Lapse from December 12, 2019. Here, you can see the tunnel vision that I talked about in my eyes (well, if you can reduce the playback speed π€ͺ). I am happy with this feat.
All the way happy with the tracker. ππ½

I would like to take the learnings for the last 12 days and improve upon it. I remember when I started off, I thought 5-minute mark was impossible. And, here we are! So, why donβt I go for 4-minutes. Seems far fetched, but if I progress like this, I am sure that day is not far from today. π
Let us see how it goes and hope for the best. ππ½

I am so happy π to end this session on a happy note! tαΊ‘m biα»t βπ½ βπ½
