The Monday Post: Lows & Highs - Prelude to Focus
I know I haven't posted for a few days. Its not that I haven't done anything, mind you! It is that mental point for me of where to focus.
I've been going over the DDP Yoga Certification documents so far (which, by the way, is a Fantastic Program, whether you are wanting to teach DDP Yoga and share what its done for you in person like I do... or, if you really want to just up your game!). I did a Mixed Tape on Saturday before 3 Hours of Judo (2 Hours of Adult Class, 1 Hour of Kids Class). I also did a Level 1 & a Strength Builder workout yesterday.
Then came this morning, where I did a Fat Burner workout. My hip feels a little off. There's no sharp pain, but there is a little strain there. There was no Dojo for me tonight because of Morgan's last Choir Concert of the year. I had thought about doing another Level 1 workout this evening, but decided against it, wanting to give my hip a little break to see if stepping it back for a bit made a difference.
However, the other thing I did (last night & tonight) was start working on the 10-Second Push-Up Challenge DDP put out. Last night I did 4 1/2. Tonight, I did 6 1/2! I wore my Heart Rate Monitor for tonight. My AHR for the 2:46 (min/sec) that I did it was 126bpm, while my MHR was 173bpm.
So, thing to try for next time... breathing more between reps to keep my HR in check.
Back to not posting a Blog over the past few days. The big thing I struggle with is keeping focus. That is part of the reason I do DDP Yoga (other than all of the great health benefits). This is an exercise for me not just physically, but mentally. Just like doing Martial Arts, it helps me gain my balance & posture. However, it also directly helps me directly focus on goals to improve myself directly.
Ultimately, that is what this Blog is all about. It putting this out there to inspire other people to Own This Day, it also helps me Focus on showing it to people, not just telling them about it!
There are times I fall and forget that. Then, I get messages from great friends like Liz Collins, who said that she she likes my blogs & videos and that they are inspiring;
Inspiring people doesn't take a long diatribe (like this one).
A simple kind word will suffice!
