Day 21


 

A good friend and mentor "Life Coach" walked up to  me at the end of January and said "Man you look like Shit!".  He then gave me a big hug and said "Welcome Home Brother!" 

I was on Maui for a conference and COVID was looking like we had it  controlled and hope insight.  He sat me down in the sand and for 45 minuted I closed my eyes and we meditated and did breathe work.  

I did not realize how bad  the pandemic and dealing with the mental beating "We" as health care worker were/had taken.  I am broken.  Never could I have imagined that patients and the general public would turn on us and treat us with such disrespect and disregard.  I can only relate it to what my friends experienced that  came home from service in Vietnam.  The health care worker has now become the next Vietnam Vet in the public eye.

At the end of our meditation we went surfing!  I felt great.  New energy.  I realized right then and there I must come home more often.  A Zen trip.  Just me and possibly one or two of my closest "Brothers".  Spend time with Bully.  Get my Body, Mind and Spirt in shape.  Realignment of Paradigm. 

So I took action!   Two weeks I will surf every day!  Meditate.  Do Yoga. Cook fresh fish.  Run on the Beach, Scuba Dive!  Swim in the ocean.  Go tho Hana and swim in hidden pools and water falls.    Just work on  me!  Get strong again!   

I got home in February and stated working.  Obstacles kept getting in the way.  Work, pain in my body from new routines.  Heavy work days.  Dealing with medical school drama.  

Over the past few weeks things have started to come together!  Took up long boarding to get my balance and to experience the speed of life coming at me on the waves when I get back on the surf board.

Started doing Laird Hamilton's Circuit training.  Wow!  quick results.  Diet changes making me stronger.  Avoiding sugar.  Better rest.  

Today is day 21!  I am going through my gear.  Check ou regulators, BDCs, wet suits.  


I leaned to keep visual images in m. mind as I train!  Past version of me,






And now where I am Headed!


And it Begins!  The Next 21 days.  Hooyah!

Why I Serve

Image
"Life is Suffering" I am grateful for the system of Unbeatable Mind.  Mark Divine put it together to get people through the toughest training on the planet.  BUDS! (Is Mark a poser? Or the real deal). He gave me the tools. I did the work. It was always up to me.  What it boils down to is what Buddha taught.....life is suffering.  When you let go, you understand it’s ok to suffer.  Get calm, get in your own head.  Get really quiet.  You gain an internal knowing.  I got this!  It’s going to be ok.  It’s the Big 4 (Breathe, Positive Attitude, Micro Goals, Envision Success).  Then you are at peace.  Peace overflows. You are at first alone. Then with fellow sufferers. You serve yourself.  You serve your Swim buddy (your inner circle), your Ohana (your family).  Your tribe.  The world.  This is the flow state in its purest form.  You give, the universe gives back in spades. You support your “boat crew” w...

Accountability Mirror

The Accountability Mirror.  What is it?  Goggins describes it like this:  You get up go to the mirror.  Who is looking back?   Are you seeing the person you expected?  Can you see your future Kick Ass self somewhere in the mirror?  Ask yourself "What is it going to take to get there?  What do you have to do".  Are you willing to do what it takes?  Are you willing to SUFFER?  Are you willing to get after it?  Are your willing to sacrifice? Who are You?  Are you seeing the person reflect back at you the person you think you are?  Or do you have work to do.  Are you Accountable?  Is what you do in private reflecting what you do and how you act in public? This is the starting line to your future!  Now is the time!  No longer are you looking at the wake of your life!  But setting the course from the front!  You see your future! It is Awesome! Now is the time!  The time to...
