Relationship building

Emotions: Tired, slightly anxious (should I be?) confident,

What a big first week back. From great morning sessions with Tim to my first AD experience to almost not getting into postgrad, and lots of coffee in between there is a lot to cover here. Right now though I will focus on one this only. 

Trust my gut

Best thing I can do going into tomorrow is just wearing the confidence I have earned on my sleeve, and going with whats natural, also with what my gut tells me. It's not a big deal, It will be happening in many different ways elsewhere in the world. 
Main thing, be honest, and straightforward. I know myself to beat around the bush when I'm putting things off/fearful of an unknown outcome and naturally want to play it safe. Playtime is over though, this is the real world, I need to make things happen, if I want them to happen, which I truly do. 

"If you want something you've never had... do something you've never done"

Working in retail, I have been lucky enough to develop people skills to a level where I can transfer to pretty much any other area in life, just realized how important these relationship building skills are relative to it all. Finding creative and quirky ways to relate to different people pays out, especially when netting for a job in a dream organisation, like SPRINZ. 
Just need to keep taking things as they come, and right now everything is playing out just how I want it...

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...
