Think of physics and ammunition. Higher mass in the bullet vs velocity of the bullet is the trade-off.
What’s the trade-off in life? I think mobility and optimizing for mobility (being agile if you like that word) is a useful starting strategy. Later, you can switch to mass.
Be a ninja. Then buy the tanks later when ninja tactics are unsuitable.
For most people.
But frustration and failure and attitudes. I am frustrated. I judge this event to be a failure.
Assuming that I am not one of those weird people who say “yeah, pain, bring it on!” how do I reframe my perspective and use the same events as energy sources to redouble my efforts? Ju-jitsu in other words.
Somewhere in here is understanding the crawl walk run process and understanding and liking being on that journey.
In the usual telling, the fox knows many things but the hedgehog knows one thing.
Maybe the hedgehog acts on one thing and the fox acts on many things.
Idea from Warrior Poet’s Hobbitses episode.
Let’s do it.
Leave the dog behind. She got her workout already.
Note: I didn’t post this until I finished. Here’s the idea: Announce accomplishments after accomplishing (if you announce at all, and STFU is probably the better way to go). Announcing accomplishments before accomplishment is grandstanding and virtue signaling.
Let your actions talk for you.
So do it.
Edit (later): done. Much relief. Why do I still avoid certain situations? Have I not learned that showing up and telling the truth is liberating? It has happened so many times that you’d think I’d change behavior. Nope, not yet.
Less glamour than a gym, but:
The “not easy” part is boredom and my perception of the value of time. Especially walking. I could be running! STFU. Walk. And the Achiever Module in my brain is like one of those annoying warning things in modern cars. Let me tell you about the lane warning sensor in a 4Runner. Fuck you Toyota.
I am weird about numbers. So I do the 10’s. Ten each of the bodyweight exercises. Ten thousand steps.
That’s just me. Give it a while. My routine will get different.
And shoot for perfection = 70%.
