Fighting fear

Fear does not get any smaller as I get older I feel, however confidence in certain areas definitely grows, and this shows. Need to focus on what I know I can do, and what I can push my limits on and be uncomfortable, take risks. Do it for yourself, do it every day. Words to live life by next few weeks.
Another way to think about life... living to the fullest of my capability is by far the most satisfying thing, so ask yourself, are you living to your full potential? If not what can I do better.

Relationships

Can learn a lot from different people and personalities... Through retail get a lot of exposure to this. One particular of interest is Georgia, sharp, direct, know what you want kind of nature. Having a personality tilting toward more unobtrusive and sometimes unwilling to step on others toes... If you want something take it! Likewise if my gut feeling is something is not for me (research?) ditch it. Be obnoxious if I have to, disregard others perception, rather than miss an opportunity

Goal setting:
Mastery is better achieved through singular focus... need to keep it simple

Gymnastics
  • Want to be able to execute basic gymnastics exercises, so I can teach them also
  • Make use of facility up north
Hapkido
  • Honestly dont know. Enjoy martial arts exploration and seeing something for first time
  • Not that driven about achieving new grades to be honest
Ultimate
  • Continue slow progression through weights and specific conditioning, not moving too fast
  • Still not playing, working Saturdays... sucks but can't really do much about it. Get off at 3pm next week.

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...
