Under the Iron Dome


The Middle East is a hot mess! Even more so right now… And things are ramping up!

Israel is under attack from several fronts:

  • Hamas in Gaza

  • Hezbollah in Lebanon

  • Houthi in Yemen

  • Iran

A tough neighborhood!

The pic above is a screen shot from an Israeli friend of mine’s Missile Warning App. It was taken earlier today.

Everyone of those red pins is a missile strike. Luckily most of those missiles have been intercepted and shot out of sky before reaching their target.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the people who are in the middle of this conflict. I hope the war ends soon.

Are You Fighting a Multi Front War Too?!

Israel is fighting enemies on multiple fronts. Are you too!?

This is not meant to minimize the conflict over there, its simply an analogy on how we too often fight multi-front wars in our own lives.

  • You lose your job, your dog dies & your wife leaves you.

  • Your truck breaks down and so does your water heater.

  • Your kid needs braces, your roof is leaking and your boss wants you to cut your hours because of budgeting.

  • You get sick, your client needs that quote TODAY, and the wax seal on the toilet just went bad, leaking all over. (*yuck!)

  • You’re at your wits end, but your partner isn’t supportive, your kid just got suspended from school and your folks are having health problems and need a hand.

Luckily, in most of our worlds, typically no one’s dying (unlike in the Middle East), however, things still need to be dealt with. And some of those things are still very important… Maybe life changing, possibly even life threatening at times.

Your Personal Iron Dome System

The Israeli Iron Dome weapon system is an excellent analogy for maintaining calm and peace under pressure. Just like the Iron Dome intercepts and neutralizes incoming threats, your personal "inner dome" can intercept negativity, stress, or emotional attacks. When you have mechanisms in place—whether they are mental strategies, emotional resilience, or spiritual practices—you can remain cooler and more at ease when confronted with difficult situations or attacks.

Of instance:

  1. Detection and Response: The Iron Dome identifies and tracks incoming threats before they hit their targets. Similarly, being aware of your emotions or external stressors early allows you to prepare and respond calmly rather than reacting impulsively.

  2. Selective Engagement: The system doesn’t engage with every single projectile, only those that are a direct threat. In the same way, not every situation or provocation requires your energy or reaction. Learning to engage only with true "threats" helps you stay calm and focused.

  3. Layered Defense: The Iron Dome isn’t the only line of defense; it works in conjunction with other systems. For personal peace, you can develop a combination of emotional, mental, and even physical habits (like meditation, exercise, and mindfulness) that create a layered defense, making you more resilient under pressure.

  4. Peace of Mind: Just as the Iron Dome allows citizens to go about their daily lives with a sense of security, developing your own methods of handling stress and conflict will give you peace of mind, even in chaotic situations.

By viewing life’s challenges as incoming threats that can be intercepted with the right tools and mindset, you can stay calm, collected, and peaceful, no matter what comes your way.

Building Your “Inner Dome”

Like Israel’s Iron Dome, you too must build your “Inner Dome” one that will not only help protect you, but also pave the way to transformation of living a healthier, happier, more successful Life. One built on love, Peace and true fulfillment.

Sound too good to be true!?

This is obtainable… Remember, there is no real personal protection with out personal development.

That said, I encourage you to...

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

Image
  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...
