Do THIS Everyday… Really?!

 



Listening to night drive 🌃 - An Indie/Alternative Playlist | Vol. 1

It’s not bad it reminds me of the Secret Life of Walter Mitty. If it had an extended soundtrack it might sound something like this.

One Step at a Time…

Saturday we began a new intro session at the academy. We took in a handful of new students and helped them start their journey on this PeaceWalker Path.

One of the things that we talk about early on is beginning to build your own personal DAILY practice.

Nothing crazy or even time consuming. Just do something every day! Yes, that’s right, practice every - single - day.

Don’t make it complicated, as a matter of fact, the simpler the better. Just get used to doing two things:

#1 - Bring your training outside of the academy.

Your real training happens outside of class, so start cultivating this perspective early on!

When it comes to training how to protect yourself and becoming a PeaceWalker you begin to realize everything you do is training. ‘It’s not just the physical stuff (although that’s part of it too).

The four main categories that you are constantly training are your:

  • Mindset - How you think

  • Awareness - What you focus on

    Influence - How you lead

  • Action - What you do

#2 - Make It a Daily Habit.

Do something everyday to build & sustain your training. When it comes to the physical stuff, don’t over complicate that either. Here are a couple tips:

The first thing when you get out of bed practice a technique or two.

After you brush your teeth. Practice again. Just one or two moves it’ll literally only take you a couple seconds. Just go through the motions in the air, like shadow boxing.

Every time you go to the bathroom do the same thing.

Lunchtime?! Yep you guessed it do a move or two before you eat.

Bedtime?! Yep, throw in a quick technique before bed. Maybe after you brush your teeth or just before you hit the sheets.

It doesn’t have to be a lot, just get used to doing a couple things several times per day.

If you want to ramp things up even more, add 5 or 10 squats or push ups (or both) to this regimen.

Soon, You’ll Begin to Notice…

If you begin doing this daily practice, it won’t take too long and you’ll begin to notice things beginning to change.

Little things at first, then bigger things.

This change, if you are doing it right, can lead to a substantial…

TRANSFORMATION!

“Like what?” you ask!?

Good question.

It all depends on what you are training for. What are you training to become?

Remember when you plant apple seeds you get an apple tree. Don’t plant orange seeds expecting apple tree.

So, be mindful what you’re planting!

Apply this to your personal life, your family, your career, your training. A lot rests on the little things you do on a daily basis.

The fruit that you bare will be the result of the seeds you sewed and the daily nurturing those seeds received. Light, water, fertile soil, protection from disease, predictor and pests.

Planting the Right Seeds

If you’re looking for a method to learn how to protect yourself and others… If you want to transform your operating system that will help you to live a more powerful and courageous Life, then I invite you to join PeaceWalker Connect. It’s our free network away from the prying eyes of trolls and big tech. You’ll get greater access to me, our community and courses.

Making Waves

  Well, that last blog really made some waves and rattled cages. Several phone calls, emails, and I see that my unsubscribes were almost triple what they typically are. Sign of the Times!? I didn’t mean for folks to get all freaked out, it’s really just a public service announcement. A tough conversation that needs to be brought up now and now again to check in make sure we’re all on the same page. Open the door for some good (yet awkward) discussions for everyone. I have a similar conversation about cleanliness so you don’t stink during training. You know, take a bath and wash your gear, come to class w/clean clothes, so you don’t smell of B.O. when you’re rolling around with someone in class. Now those academy members who called me were just curious if there was something going on. Don’t worry, it’s just a precautionary measure to open further discussions if necessary. It’s Interesting… I know, tough conversations are… Well… Tough! And these days they are happening less and less ...

Ebb & Flow

  Your training and life has an ebb and flow to it. There are times of exertion and times of recovery. Times of activity and times of rest. For instance, at our local Krav academy, we just got finished with a testing rotation. Testing rotations are a couple months of longer, harder training for all of us at the academy. It can get pretty intense for folks. At the end of the training period we have a big 4ish hour test. A gauntlet really that everyone goes through. Afterward we chill things out again. Our training slows down and eases up. We go from exerting a lot of effort. Working on a lot of gross motor skill drills. Lots of PT and higher intensity training. However, most folks, myself included, can’t safely or comfortably keep up that pace. It’s not sustainable. You have to… Chill Out for a While… Your training has seasons to it. You have to learn to ebb and flow. Learning different things at different times. Your life’s that way too. There are times of exertion and times to rec...
