Goal setting, directions mind dump

Emotions: Unfocused, relaxed, creative.

Morales
Had an incident today which brought me to think about how I react to situations, and giving in to anger and doing things I will regret. This particular event happened when I made a mistake, and was unwilling to accept that and instead took it out on someone else. I want to be the sort of person who is willing to admit to error and look for a solution to how I can improve for the future, being humble and committed to personal improvement always, not getting too ahead of myself.

Directions
I learned today also that setting short term goals for the day, or Sunday afternoon like today it gives me more direction on both days off, and at work. Achieving goals, even simple ones (get forehand huck to sit in wind, good distance, lead a reciever), provide a positive boost, and the process of figuring this out can be fun. Stimulates creativity!
For example: trying to think of creative ways to sit the disc out in front of receiver, visualizing a game scenario with different cuts.
Another example: Guitar, trying to figure out a particular picking pattern without tab, through sound and being creative.

Lessons from Dagg
Yesterday read a great story about israel dagg in the lead up to the world cup in 2015. Not having fun, using creative instinct and gut feelings, leads to too much rigidity.

Out of sorts
Sometimes simple tasks like cleaning the space in which I live brings a lot of satisfaction when feeling confused, and a little directionless.

Quotes:
"Do not identify wth that which comes and goes. You are greater than this". Same goes for being out of a career path. Just a temporary state, I will get a new opportunity doing something I enjoy and am passionate about.

Thursday entry, Hapkido

Emotions: Confident (skills as a trainer), engaged (with new challenges, hapkido), comfortable (working with team in studio), satisfied (with daily challenges as a trainer, run club, motivated clients) Wednesday was a great day for me, came back to train some afternoon clients (Jaz) who had a great sessions with deadlifts. Tried Hapkido which have been meaning to do for ages, was good fun and learned heaps, great atmosphere to train in. Looking forward to next Wednesday (albeit late). Considering AGM tomorrow, or heading out to Piha Friday night. Need to bike into work tomorrow to make it work. AGM should be good fun, have a few drinks after with the club members which don't get to do too often, make most of it. Head out to piha early Saturday, looks like ideal plan. Work-ons: Knowing and keeping track of what kind of program being followed, beginner, superset, dropset,  how hard I need to push, and what kind of verbal cues I will provide throughout. Example: Jasmine need ...

Monday post, Bounce

Monday Emotions: Fully energised and engaged, satisfied (Connection with ultimate friends), refreshed Physical: Injury to knee going backwards, pain threshold after playing back up to 3-4/10, from 0-1/10. Sleep: Getting back into a good sleep routine over the weekend, and getting multiple nights in a row, Friday 8, Saturday 9.5, and Sunday 8.5 was the formula for an good recovery and bounce, improvement and growth, mentally responding to challenges from last week well. This response is something I feel I have not done as well over the week before. If I'm pushing myself in condition grey from Monday to Saturday, occaisionaly slipping into black in short periods, I need to get plenty of sleep in, at right timing.  Nutrition: Getting in more frequent lower GI meals this week has helped heaps, especially the oats, avoiding cravings and feeling hungry after workouts etc. More sources of protein, beans, eggs, chicken etc.  Physio? Pros and cons Physio seems...

Don't mind the mind

Tuesday 30th May: Emotions: Calm, relaxed, focused Been thinking about overthinking lately. The more I learn I realise its better to not try and control negative thoughts, a good technique is to just observe and be aware. A higher kind of awareness doesn't follow negative thoughts down dark passages, but just legs them crash harmlessly like waves against rock. Today I have been letting go of the sense of urgency lingering in my mind the last few days, that I need to try harder and push more toward finding more work opportunity, keep moving forward. Friday 3rd June: Right here, right now. This is all I will ever be, the best I can be. Recovery running. Awesome feeling, great friday night activity. Need to keep more variation in my training schedule to let body recover and adapt properly. If I'm too tired to do hill sprints, strength session, go for a recovery run! Making concious decisions to do whats best for me, even though I don't want to sometimes. Sitting on inte...
