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...

Love vs Fear? The Art of Self-Awareness

A familiar feeling of trepidation swept over me.  I stepped over the threshold into the cold clinical setting of a Yr two practical examination room.  "have i missed my exam slot?" , "did they forget to call me in?" panicking, I fought to retain composure as my clinical supervisor approached me. "Alex, there you are! please come through, the exam is about to start" . As stood and waited to see which examiner and clinical scenario I would get, p ast memories flashed through my mind of my first exam sit.  "What If I fail again?" The same words echoed in my mind hauntingly, inviting the inevitable.  I was directed towards the furthest booth, with my examiner Richard, head of the musculoskeletal department, who curtly nodded as I nervously greeted him. An exam moderator sat a short distance furiously scribbling on a clipboard. I read the brief and the exam timer rang to signal the start.  He began "You have a 45 yr old builder with rig...
