Start Where You're At


 


I hope that you had a good New Year Celebration regardless if it was quiet like mine or loud and proud... bold and crazy... 


Regardless, I hope it was safe and something you enjoyed it w/the people you care about. 

And now hopefully you're RARE'N to start your... New Year w/a BANG!

Words of Advice on Resolutions

I'm not a big fan really. 

I am, however a big fan of looking back over the year to see what was working, and what wasn't. What I want more of and what I want less of. 

It's not only about goal though...

You should be dialing in what type of life you're creating... 

What type of a person are you becoming?!

Are you happy with where you're life is going?


You May Think Me Strange...


That at 52 I'd say what type of person I'm becoming...

Many would believe that by that age we have already became the person who we are and in certain respects I'd agree, however in many other aspects I wouldn't...

Make no mistake, we are always developing, always progressing or regressing, always changing...

And I want to make sure that I evaluate where I am and where I want to be... Who I am and who I want to become...

To make sure I'm doing the things necessary to support my decision and goals.

Simple, not Easy...


Start Where You're At...


Remember that this journey is a marathon and at times a sprint...

But it is a long journey, so you have to make sure whatever you do is sustainable. 

Make sure that the suck you have to embrace, no matter how large or small is worth it!


Time is a limited resource...


Remember how fast this past decade went?

The next 10 will go even faster! 

Make sure that the Juice is Worth the Squeeze in everything you set out to do!

Re-Evaluate Your Everything!

It's good to finish what you start...

But it's better to evaluate, re-evaluate and keep checking in to make sure where you're wanting to go still makes sense.

Things change and you should too! 

Relationships, careers, identities, activities, needs, health, responsibilities, pretty much everything!

Keep up and keep evolving!

It's ok to change...

The New Year can be a good time to reflect, re-evaluate and make a plan to move forward in a direction that give you more of what you want and less of what you don't!

Make sure you are enjoying the journey! As we have both experienced, it goes fast!

You Don't Live In a Bubble...

We are constantly dealing with other people, and with people comes conflict...

So if you want to be more successful in the next year, learn how to deal with that conflict better!

Gain a new sense of clarity and confidence when it comes to protecting yourself and others.

It will help you get more of what you want and less of what you don't!

So..

Happy New Year! 


Make it the best year ever!!


If you're looking to get a head start on your best year yet, you have to commit to investing into yourself. The PeaceWalker 6 Day Defense will help you Become a Force For Good!




Keep going,

An Uncomfortable Situation

Image
  Funny pic (and movie) about a not so funny situation… In training as in Life, it’s better to treat people with dignity and respect. However… What does that look like in the moment? Being that I’m teaching a Women’s Assault Prevention and Response Workshop this weekend - it’s probably a good time to talk about… Uncomfortable Situations Let’s talk about training at the academy for a minute… We run open co-ed classes at the local academy. What does that mean? Men and women train together, but we don’t stop there. People of different skill levels, backgrounds, ethnicities, sexual orientations, careers, religious beliefs, political affiliations, ages, injuries, pre-existing conditions, life experience, training expectations etc. etc. train together! We ALL work together! Overall, I think it’s better this way. Of course sometimes there’s static, you know, conflicts, and misunderstanding. When something happens, most of the time it’s just that, a misunderstanding… Sometimes people ...

What'd You Say?!

  You ever have a conversation with someone who really lifted your spirits? How about having a conversation with someone who’s a real downer?! We spend a lot of time talking to people. Matter of fact, talking is one of the most under rated and under trained aspects of protecting yourself. It’s much better if you can talk your way out of a bad situation, rather than having to resort to some form of physicality. This is why we spend so much time on sharing effective communication frameworks in the PeaceWalker course. But All of that Aside… When we think about communicating, we often just think about talking to other people. We forget how we talk to ourselves! You may have heard it called, “Self talk.” All day long we talk to ourselves. We carry on an inner dialogue in our heads that only we can hear. Unfortunately, this means it's very easy to be hard on ourselves. There's something about privacy which makes it easy to say the things you would never say out loud to another living...

Cracks in Your Foundation?!

Image
  Last night we had one of our weekly coaching calls for the PeaceWalker Evolution Course. What a great call! Rob and Jenn, a couple of the Level II - Momentum folks (people who graduated from Evolution last year and came back for the second Level.), were tasked to run the meeting as part of their training. I must say, they did a stand up job! The topic of discussion was building an Unshakable Foundation. WTH is that!? It’s basically the way you live. Your habits. What you do in your day to day life. How do you train your… Body  - Your physical health Mind  - What you’re filling your head with Mouth  - How you’re communicating Heart  - How you foster your relationships Why?! Without a solid foundation it’s difficult to remain balanced. When you are not balanced, it more difficult to stay calm, cool, and collected, (especially) under pressure. As I often say,  “You can’t hide crazy.” (It eventually comes out!) Regardless… You don’t have to be in the PeaceWal...
