STANDARDS SESSION 0004

STANDARDS SESSION 0004

Session 0004 is for inspiration as well as a reminder for you to continue to work with yourself. Physical training is an excellent analogy for progression in any domain: We need to work hard and intentionally, tweak the resistance to challenge us in an optimal way, and then recover.
We’ll all have bad days, it’s included in the process. When one of them comes, handle it with flexibility, strength and acceptance. Focus on recovery, top class preparations and remind yourself of why you’re doing things. We need to push ourselves and take responsibility for what’s in our control, but being overly critical is not the way.

Pick what appeals and suits your taste, goals and most importantly, your body. Make sure that you execute every movement in a conscious and safe way.

Wisdom:

Being committed to somethings feels good. Finding a source within you that helps you walk your talk and live with fire only comes from what’s important and true to YOU.
Find what’s filling you up with fundamental life force, and stay true and connected to that source.
That’s where consistency, motivation and meaning comes from.
