Compassion, Relations and Habit

Relationships in my life have changed dramatically over past month from using a gratitude meditation. Using a broad vision, seeing each relationship and person in a continuum rather than defined by single events.  This helps to override present state duality, good or bad perceptions, slights, faultfinding, envy and so forth.
Practice exercise: To view each flatmate with this viewpoint, broad minded.

Writer, Destiny, Habit. Every day, ten minutes. I dedicate time to this blog, building skills needed to write books, critically reflect on Bhakti, university, therapy to organise thoughts coherently, creating rich fruits of experience and realisation to help guide myself and others. Rising early is bringing a calmness and fresh start and an exiting habit to maintain.

Knowledge is Power
Knowledge of our actual position and that of others, the playing field we are on, the rules of the game, is the platform of knowledge. From this we can evoke compassion to help others, armed with knowledge, realising the nature of the self beyond the limited body conception, and our relation to the supreme. "Jivera Svarupya Haha, Krisnera Nitya Dasa" I I truly understand that I'm a servant, wouldn't I try act to rectify the sufferings of this world?
This is knowledge is needed to overcome lower drivers of fear and self-protection via a transcending purpose, above the immediate threat to our lives and those around use. Choose Love or fear?

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...
