It's Louse Time! The Calm after the Storm

If you're new to my list of focused, motivated, self-starters, Welcome.

(if you're not new jump right away to today's lesson below)

Every day I communicate to you the best ways to train and the kind of mindset it takes to get results either in your physical fitness or martial art training.

Friday is always what I call: "Louse Time". Modeled after Bruce Lee's strategy in Enter the Dragon.

You know that part where he's having tea with the government agent but he's disturbed by one of his students and Bruce Lee tells the agent: It's Louse Time! The agent replies with his British accent: "yes of course".

Since I'm 6 years old that scene has always stuck with me and I'll be using that same strategy with YOU every week.

Friday is where I share with you Life Lessons and Direction given to me by my dad (and Sifu) every Friday.

Today's lesson is: The Calm after the Storm

I have a very fond memory of being 6 years old and cooling down and meditating after a kung-fu class.

My father explaining to us to: "Never, ever forget this feeling you have after your training. You'll need to recall on it at different points in your training life if you're ever going to accomplish any worth while goal in the martial arts."

No matter how much you don't feel like training on a certain day or you're just distracted or busy with other things in your life, think of how good you feel after your workout and how you want to re-live that sense of accomplishment, positive energy, and emotional release over and over again.

Sometimes getting yourself to train or making it through a tough workout might feel like being caught in a storm.

No matter which obstacles you have to go through, whether created by you by ways of negative self-talk and making excuses to skip a workout or the actual difficulty of the routine you're following, there is calmness, joy, bliss, and a deep connection with yourself which occurs after each workout.

That's why I never miss workouts and you shouldn't either, what you lose by not attending and completing them cost you...

YOU.

A chance to reflect on you. There is no B-S'ing yourself. You KNOW if you gave it all you had or slacked off. You feel if you've been consistent in your training by how you feel after them: strong and rejuvenated or weak and struggling.

A chance to listen to your heartbeat and feel the pulse of your life.

Do not miss workouts or martial art class it keeps you young, vibrant, and on the path of mastery.
