Simple Steps for Personal Growth and Connection
In the hustle of daily life, small actions can make a big difference.
This guide suggests three simple focuses for today:
1 focus for you
1 focus for the future you
1 focus for a loved one
1) Holds
2) Write a gratitude/ appreciation letter to yourself.
3) Think of 1 person. What did you learn from them?
Specifically:
1) Follow this format for a total of 6 minutes. You can repeat sequence (12 mins) with 2 different movements.
1:30 – 1:00 – 30 sec (Movement 1)
30 sec – 1:00 – 1:30 (Movement 2)
Choose between:
- Plank/ Side plank holds
- Wall sit/Squat variations holds
- Hollow/Arch holds
- Handstand Holds (wall, freestanding, box)
- Barbell Deadlift holds
- Deadhang bar holds
- You name it
Learn to find stillness in a movement. That is how you master it. By being able to breathe under tension and hold.
2) It might be intimidating, scary or unknown to begin with but stay with the discomfort until you free yourself and see how good you are. Write it and you will thank me later. When ever you feel down, read it. Even better, read it everyday, (place it somewhere that you can see it) to keep you motivated/ disciplined ( depending on your perception) for your day and staying true to your potential.
Here is the link of a piece of my appreciation letter. Just click on the envelope. I keep writing everyday, so it is not the end product. That’s life.
3) Think of 1 person. What have you learned from her/him? Could be someone you love or someone you are having a difficult time with at the moment and want to improve your relationship. Each person comes in our life to teach us something. So, what lesson did (or still is) that particular person give you? Is it knowledge? Is it a value? How to deal with something?
You don’t know everything. Accept that and learn to be teachable.
