The view was awesome, the feeling was amazing

Mixing the energy bubble a top a great rock on the Western Hills (Badachu)


















It took us about an hour to hike up to this area and the view on Beijing and the surrounding hills and temples was breathtaking.

Out of all the places I visited during my trip, training in this area and the memory of it, as well as the feeling I experienced while doing my training here, will surely be one of the most memorable moments of my trip.

In Fang Shen Do we encourage our students to anchor important moments you go through either in your training or in life in general.

An anchor helps recall past experiences you can use in the present moment to snap yourself in a specific state at some other point in your life. You can relive a feeling you had in 3, 6, 12, 24 mths from now just by calling upon that anchor.

Think about a moment in your life where you felt the happiest, the most confident, or the strongest. With the right anchors in place you can get to feel that way every day.

We all live with anchors or associations, some of those can be positive while others can be negative.

I count on the positive anchors I've set to keep myself motivated, happy, thankful, and energized every day. These over power any negative ones that might creep up.

Music can be a source of empowerment or it can put you in a sad, depressed state so be weary of what you listen to.

Starting something new might bring some anxious feelings, butterflies in the stomach, these can remind you of past failures and stop you from following through or they can fill you with excitement knowing you're going to learn something new.

Sitting on the couch to watch TV might help you relax, unwind and disconnect or it can serve to remind you that lying down catatonic doesn't help you in any way to grow and reach the goals you've set for yourself.

These are just basic examples. Think of all the associations your mind has made since you were born.

Which associations do you have about exercise?

Waking up early.

Reading.

Drugs.

Relationships.

Smoking.

Etc. Etc...

The good news is associations and habits can be changed or replaced in 21 days or less.

Are you ready to make exercising a positive starting point to make other key changes in other areas of your life?

Here's how I'd like you to get started.

Master Yourself,
