New habit to be adopted

Instead of trying to go back to those pleasant dreams or instead of tossing and turning on the bed waiting for breakfast time, I have found and started to adapt myself with a new, exciting, productive, and healthy early morning activity—cycling. It’s better than continuing those unrealistic dreams because my dream now actually comes true. It’s what I have been longing for since the first year at uni, but I could not achieve it because of laziness and weak commitment. No time may be another excuse for not undertaking this exercise. I’m so glad that my bike has now been fixed and I can ride to wherever I wish to.

I love the feeling of cycling in the early morning as the roads aren’t crowded and have no horning. What I can feel is the fresh air which I miss inhaling every day in the air-con room; what I see are people walking, jogging, biking, and dancing with the lively music.

‘…I know you got it, clap your hands on the floor
And keep on rockin', rock it up on the floor
If you're a criminal, kill it on the floor
Steal it quick on the floor, on the floor

Don't stop keep it moving, put your drinks up
It's getting ill, it's getting sick on the floor
We never quit, we never rest on the floor
If I ain't wrong we'll probably die on the floor…’

Wow, I suddenly felt energized with this ‘on the floor’ when I arrived at the riverside after a long ride from my house. I feel like being one of them. :D I stopped a while and enjoyed cool wind from the high level river feeling my face directly and watched the dog chasing the peaceful pigeons in front of the Royal Palace…that moment brought peace to my mind and heart after the pressure I got from workplace.

I will try a different place each day and get to know every boulevard and path. I love this feeling and I will make cycling my habit every morning. Thanks to my friends, Danith and Vin, who have brought up this great idea of exercising. I believe it’s good for health, physically and psychologically.

Alone or in group will not be a problem as long as you like it from inside. Try it if you are not rushing to work or study at 7:00am!
