My time is always well spent attending 2nd degree brown belt class. I gain insights and almost always leave feeling like I've added some fuel to my motivation tank. The class is an opportunity for me to stay connected, learn and reinforce existing knowledge.
These moments inspire and motivate me, even if it is only for brief moments of time. Even the small efforts build to become solid foundations. All it takes is a seemingly simple conversation or interaction with like minded people. I'm learning more and more it is not about focusing on what you aren't doing and more about focusing on what you can do and doing it.
This past Saturday was no exception and I've compiled some notes and take aways to help create better sign posts for my journey and potentially others as well.
Begin Anew - Stop looking towards the future to begin anew. Stop wasting time and apply this to every day and every moment of the day.
Start now! Take action, initiate!
Recognize and take advantage of opportunities - Thursday was a great example of this. I had briefly considered not going to the Kwoon last Thursday night. It had been a difficult day and I was tired both physically and emotionally. I knew with it being an informal class time I would have the opportunity to do some training and after a brief mental battle, I grabbed my bag and delivered myself to the Kwoon. The positive energy and having all that space to move was wonderful!
Smile - I can create joy, happiness and positivity in my life with a simple smile. I challenge everyone to smile just because and be aware of the feeling it gives. For me it is an instant feeling of joy, awareness and being 100% in the moment. So why don't I do this all the time? Hmm, I'm going to add a smile into my mindful moments throughout the day.
Be in the moment!
Fix inconsistency, look for ways to apply yourself - This connects perfectly with all of the above. Taking advantage of opportunities, beginning anew, initiating and smiling more are great ideals to work towards and build consistency.
