Yes brother. Lets keep today as a trial day, since getting back to studying those many hours with focus after a weekβs break is kind of hard for me today. But Iβll still try as much as I can. We can give it 100% from tomorrow, but today is not a break either. So, lets give our best.
7 hours of study
Exercise
Meditation
Journaling
Read a few pages of a self-improvement book
No unproductive internet and media usage
2024-10-16T18:30:00Z
Study the Bible
Clean my room
Complete Orthopedics preparation
Complete surgery preperation
Read 15 pages from a self-help book
Currently my ability to work on myself physically has reduced. I must work more on my mindset and knowledge now. It is certainly been a depressing few days for me, as an athlete, but with this post I mark the end of giving myself excuses to not do my best with what I have.
Tentative timeline for me (will modify after meeting my doctor):
Nov 15 - will be able to use right hand normally again
Nov 16 - will consult the doctor about sprint training and plyometrics, if cleared for that I will start those
Dec 15 - end of 3rd year of medical school, will return home and train from there as well as study for exams
Jan 15 - can start physiotherapy by Jan (latest) for my shoulder
Feb 15 - can slowly start getting back into the gym and basketball
well perhaps things may not go this way. They may go better or worse. But writing this down has helped clear my mind.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me
Glad to see you back here, my warrior. Lets get back on getting better with whatever we have. You always inspire me to work hard as well.

@PrDr do you want to start another 21 days challenge? From tomorrow till 9 Nov?
I know we keep starting and stopping but weβre both busy people, life happens. Itβs the consistency that matters. Perhaps this time we will reach 21 days.
Iβll update my daily tasks list as well and edit the scoreboard once again. If youβ're not able to this week we can start from Monday instead, just let me know 
New Goals
Spent time with God
Meditated for 10 minutes
Wrote 250 words of creative writing
Watched at least 3 coaching videos
Did not play bgmi
Updated on the challenge thread
Took supplements
Brother, I am always here for you. Your well-being means everything to me. I understand what you are going through. Take your time. Make some easy goals for now and try to achieve them everyday. Iβm here with you brother. Do not feel down. Its just a bad phase of life. Itβll pass.
That literally clenched your heart 
, mainly because you are an great athelete and a fitness freak. But donβt worry, the best you can do is wait & take care of yourself and we will pray for both of you to get well asap. I am sure you will be consistent after recovering, like you have always been bhai!
And you are planning to meditate, great bhai, for these 2 weeks train your brain more , seen that you werenβt meditating that much, so itβs the time to be more mindful. And the winter arc is still there almost 72 days left, and this arc also about training our brain , touchwood you are already determined and persistent, so focus on the things that you can do , even having a regular habit of meditation will be great .
And you will still have 50-60 days to transform yourself after recovery 
! You wonβt lose much muscle during this period and you will come back in form after training for 10 days !!!
If you wish then you guys can join the meditation challenge! @debellator @PrDr ! All the best to you both and Rise up and inspire us as always! God bless you both 
! Take care guys! 
appreciate the kind words brother.
I doubt I can get back to training this year. In the best possible scenario, maybe I can start towards the start of December. But Iβm not sure. Either way, I gotta lock-in.
Iβll let you know about joining the mediation challenge. I donβt use the forum much these days due to difficulty with typing as you might have guessed.
Those are not only kind words those are the true words 
.
Letβs hope for the best 
! Will pray for you guys! Just a suggestion try visualisation meditation, with a soothing and suitable meditation music and visualise yourself getting better , visualise all those emotions and satisfaction that you get while playing and working out, visualise yourself getting healthy again.
No need to reply just know that Iβ¦
True
In this difficult phase, please try Mind Related Exercises
U both built a good physique through fitness and workouts
Now try to build an attentive and obedient mind through mindful exercises
Wait let me share few videos in this regard
Appreciate it.
I donβt do this type of meditation. Iβm a Christian and this isnβt something I do. But I do either meditate on Bible verse or use apps like headspace etc. But yes will work on disciplining my mind more. Iβve noticed that of late although I subject my body to vigorous discipline, outside of sports and gym my mind hardly is as disciplined as Iβd like it to be. Got to work on that.
Iβm glad you mentioned that, man. I had recently suffered from various medical issues, including the recent incidents that I shared here. And I used this technique of meditation, affirmation, positive thinking and belief, and Iβm seeing myself getting cured much quicker than anyone had anticipated. @debellator you are a top class athlete, try visualization and I believe that you will heal quicker than doctors are saying just like its happening with me. More than visualization, believe in the fact that itβll happen. Its not easy to have these things in tough times, but try to think positive, stay positive. I have read this book βThe Secretβ, which helped me learn a few things about struggles of life in general. Thereβs also a movie. I believe its on youtube. Iβll share it here. Do watch it if you can.
I could not find the English version of the actual 2006 film, but Iβve found Hindi version and Tamil Version of the actual movies, as well as English Version of The Metasecret (another movies by same makers on the same concept). I believe Hindi and Tamil versions have English subtitles.

Sorry to ask , but you canβt do visualisation meditation or method!? Just asking because I am curious one more Christian brother said he canβt do such meditations , they meditate on the word of the Lord !
Iβve come across this ideology before and Iβve thought about it a lot. For several years. Used to follow it but Iβve stopped. I definitely agree that visualisation helps and I still do visualization before my games in order to channel my nervous energy into excitement and get into the flow state. But I donβt follow the Law of Attraction.
Its not about law of attraction or anything, its just that you use it to heal faster brother. It did help me a lot this week, and I believe it will help you as well. I have used the same technique the year when I suffered from dengue, and healed within 2-3 days from a stage which takes others weeks. You are even fitter and more active than me, so you can definitely try it. No harm in trying, right?
I apologise for sharing something different from your faith
But brother Hoβoponopono is a religion neutral exercise to induce human consciousness into us
It was actually found in Spain first
And then spread throughout the world
You can try that
I find it extremely blissful to listen and meditate
But then when you have bible in your hands, you donβt need anyother help. Read Bible daily and share the Religious messages here so that we read it and learn from it too
God bless you 
Amen 
Yep. Not that we canβt do, but we choose not to do.
If you are interested, it is because Christians are (according to our beliefs) filled with the Holy Spirit. So our goal is to attune our hearts and minds to the will of Christ and do what He desires.
The process of meditation is (most importantly) emptying the mind. No thoughts. Like the phrase, Idle mind is the devilβs workshop. NOT saying meditation is that, but emptying the mind isnβt something Christianβs practice. A lot of people who meditate and empty the mind speak about seeing other things or conversing with people etc. We can go more in detail if you like, I have some free time right now. The responsibility of the Christian is to live a God-filled life and take all their thoughts captive and listen to Christ. Not empty the mind. I hope you understand.
no harm trying it, I definitely donβt deny the power of subconscious. But itβs not a superpower that can be used just like that. If that was the case, it was be abused a whole lot more often. All lucid dreamers would have unlimited power.
what I mean to say is there may be a lot of confounding factors in between that one is not aware about. But having the right mindset and working towards it will always help regardless.
Yes brother, I agree. Its not something miraculous. Just that it helps us stay in the positive state of mind and do the right thing, live the right way. Positive thoughts and behaviour do make recovery quicker. I have seen many top level athletes recover quicker than what doctors had anticipated, and I believe you are on that level as well, just that post-injury depression does not affect your life, like it was doing with me.
