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 ...

Friday entry

Emotions : Happy, satisfied, well connected, fatigued, excited Very good mood today, had a great morning in the studio, with a tough block with group class and 3 clients, but rose to the challenge confidently and calmly, running a great group class and 3 great PT sessions. Good chat with the vision crew today too, particularly Tom and Meghan for coffee. Overnight oats are amazing. Period. Work at Icebreaker was a fun time as usual with Brad and Georgia. Got thinking in some time to myself about how fired up I am to keep training this offseason, and the next clash with Taniwha coming up in Auckland, should provide all the motivation I need. Career More than ever I realized I need to keep planning and making moves toward my goal of coaching athletes (AD), and I need to start looking into more high schools for conditioning coach roles. Meet with Kelly next week to find out any possible opportunity's. Patrick Davenport at Remuera is another priority. Contact Patrick on Monday...

Crossroads

The last few months have exposed me to a very different culture, changing my habit and thought much. Right now I have a crossroad: embrace this philosophy and work hard every day to fit it in my life, or coast and continue as I was, with the loft. Since life is short the only real option is 1. As I go I will learn more of my dharma, and things will become more clear. Muddy water over last year has cast clouds over work and career choice, doubt crept in mind. Acting to please others and hide from truth in heart. I yearn to cast away old attachments and ways of fitting in without looking at true nature and purpose. I struggle with comparing myself to role models, being critical of my current effort and level. But I must see that these role models have their own dharma and strength, I can take inspiration. Just as from a good musician, inspiration can happen, and push my skill higher. Bhakti is a lifestyle to follow, with ideals, outside focus is allowed. Guilty feeling is pointles...
