STANDARDS SESSION 0003

STANDARDS SESSION 0003

To get better and reach levels we never experienced before, we need intentional effort and intelligent overload. Then being equally intentional with the other 50% of training which is made up by proper and adequate recovery, gratitude and happiness.
Celebrate both the challenging performance part of life as well as the other side that’s about presence, love, connection and appreciation.
Just being where you are without any need to evaluate, criticize or be somewhere else than just in ‘this specific moment.’

Session 0003 is for your inspiration. Pick what serves you and do it with your whole heart and full effort.

Prioritizing your most precious relationships, making sure that love, appreciation and real connection are cultivated help you go harder in your sessions, at work or whatever limit you’re pushing.
