Okay the physiotherapist was awesome. He walks the talk. does the same posture exercises himself. Plays badminton 3 times a week, goes hiking and fishing, volunteers once a month for free to help underprivileged people build better physio habits. Him and I both agreed: it's easy to do things right in the clinic, the real test is at home with daily habits when i dont have someone watching me. So that's going to become part of my daily health routine long-term to live a healthy, fulfilling life. 4 daily Exercises: Snow angel against wall (more of a test: the higher I can go while keeping my full body flush against the wall, the more im progressing in healthy posture) lying face down W (12 reps) + Y (8 reps hold for 2 seconds at the peak) with arms (i can look up forms on yt later as needed), Cable pull to my chest, 50 lbs 8 reps, 2 sets with my left arm alone to fix imbalance and 1 set with both arms. He also did "scraping" on the right side of my neck with cream and that temporarily fixed the imbalance/neck tilt naturally. The goal is to make my left side stronger and more used to working. So use my phone with my left hand when I can, eat with my left hand, use my computer mouse with my left hand, weight lift more with my left hand etc. That will fix the neck tilt issue. He also told me to eat in the morning, afternoon, and evening and wear sunscreen while outside (50 spf) and run either early morning or later evening to reduce UV light exposure. Lots of overlap between TCM (traditional chinese medicine) and Ayurveda (traditional indian medicine).

From Tsuneki: Usually imposter syndrome is a negative feedback loop/self-talk. Look yourself in the mirror, say no, you're awesome. Even though you may not believe it, keep saying, because you will start to believe it. Also important: Whenever you have the thoughts that you're not good enough, or are undeserving, you should stop yourself and tell yourself that you are lying to yourself, that's not true. That's not true. For me (Vamsi): I personally still feel imposter syndrome and self-doubt and it took years of people telling me I was good at stuff before I believed them. I used to think I was ugly even though multiple people told me I wasn't. It took a very long time for me to believe I wasn't ugly. If I had done what Tsuneki had suggested, I would have improved much faster. Like I thought affirmations in the mirror were stupid. But I realize now that that's a form of self-sabotage. It's easier to be skeptical and dismiss a thing because then I don't have to do it. So just do it (Nike please don't sue me). I'm not going to start affirmations right now since I'm working on gym + meditation habit but it would be great to add eventually to my habit stack. I could even do it at the gym in my head. I actually felt good at the gym today because I felt good that I was taking the steps to improve myself. I looked in the mirror and I didn't feel ugly, even though I look mostly the same as I did when I thought I was ugly. Instead I felt proud and fulfilled that I was putting in the effort to improve at something I cared about. So these perceptions aren't facts, they are just opinions of the mind and they can and will change based on your own self-talk. I've also been yelling in my head, "I love pain, bring it on" when I'm afraid to do something, and then I go do it. For you it might be this comic panel saying "Bring It On" that you showed me in January 2023. Thanks Tsuneki for the great conversation. @Josh, here's the video recording of our conversation in case it's easier for you to listen to the entire thing rather than read my random notes and thoughts.

Weights one day and cardio the other day. Relying on Syma and Ian for weightlifting guidance and Crimson for running guidance. Next goal with running is to download strava and get some data from a 3-5 km run.

This is going to end up being very long eventually. That's okay!
