Adapting – Doing it again and again!

Back in January, I posted about “Adapting through Fear”. Recalling experiences about struggling when trying to get around equipment training a few years back. It was daunting, scary & I felt vulnerable. I delved into those moments you realise that everyone is pushing to achieve their own goals, fine tune their own habits but inContinue reading “Adapting – Doing it again and again!”

Back to the Bar (No, not the Pub!)…

To build it up, you gotta break it down. Whether it’s training, work or even writing a blog*- is it easy to break things back down to such extent after building a robust system? Or was that system too robust in the first place. In training terms, is it right to sometimes take it rightContinue reading “Back to the Bar (No, not the Pub!)…”

The Old Routine in a “New Normal”?

Habits.. Built over time, with consistent daily efforts.  A routine… A structure put together to bring support to those habits, which in turn, lay the path to a goal. The lockdown has challenged this. The Lockdown has certainly changed how it’s constructed, yet not why it’s conceived. Thoughts did drift…Have I lost? I was wrong.Continue reading “The Old Routine in a “New Normal”?”

Looking back to press forward…

It’s been a while! To process my thoughts through the Coronavirus lockdown, ensure I’ve looked at all my personal priorities but also then think of documenting my feelings – but where, how and it what way? How do you process something that’s so personal to everyone in different situations and also unprecedented, there is noContinue reading “Looking back to press forward…”

Adapting Through The Fear…

I’m not sure exactly when, but suddenly, the penny dropped…EVERYBODY is in here to improve.. Despite entering the gym to improve my fitness 6 years ago, without a doubt, many thoughts wondered across my mind (as I’m sure many do) as I scanned the room… how on earth do you / can you do this?Continue reading “Adapting Through The Fear…”

I owe it to them…

I love competing. The work, the discipline, the rewards, the health, the energy and the friendship. A great place to start this would be to go WAY back and try to question & establish those drivers that set me & no doubt countless others up on that path. I’ve toiled with the notion of theContinue reading “I owe it to them…”

How to extend your bounce…

Everything is clicking into place, ideas are flowing & fast you’re picking up momentum. Wouldn’t this be great all day? Have you got that one period of time when you get a run of creativity – what drives that? Is there is anything in that environment that allows or encourages that to happen – OnContinue reading “How to extend your bounce…”

The day is long, but the ‘dream’ is BIG…

4.30 -The alarm goes off, no fancy fanfare, just the time that I’ve become accustomed to waking. The reason? Born from a desire to fit my physical training BEFORE work so I can see my family later in the day, making it the ideal time to get up.  The difference in making time as opposedContinue reading “The day is long, but the ‘dream’ is BIG…”

Finding more time, with ‘less of it…’

On the one hand, I’m ‘busier’ than ever…I’m a Daddy of 2 girls, Husband, Marketing Manager and in my ‘spare time’ I compete in disability bodybuilding competitions… I also want to meditate & write daily – plus read a book a month. I had written these goals down a while back as a result ofContinue reading “Finding more time, with ‘less of it…’”
