Day Fifteen: The stages of learning and how it can makes us feel like a newb

 Day Fifteen: The stages of learning and how it can makes us feel like a newb

I sometimes imagine myself just navigating through my workouts or desired activities with more ease, strength, ability, and drive. Celebrating after a good, intense, and maybe even sweaty workout like it was euphoric and worth it. YUM!

And then...after 2 sets, I am moreso counting DOWN to when I am finally done with doing the dang thing LOL.

Back in 2008, I was a WARRIOR! I was just charging through my workouts! I knew they were WAY easier than the ones I was doing the year before and I felt like a powerhouse! I felt like I was hacking the system. I felt like I could EASILY add on more way and celebrate being able to challenge and grow my muscles how I wanted to. 

AND I DID!

My shape and tone was amazing.

We will always be growing and changing. 

And as we grow, we will be going through the stages of learning:

Unconscious Incompentance - We don't know what we don't know

Conscious Incompentence: We know that we don't know

Conscious Competance: We know that we know and have to remind ourselves to do what we know

Unscious Competance: We don't know/remember that we know, we just do it 

And when we get to that new stair or that new level of learning, we start all over again. Still further along than we were before, but we feel like newbs and even stoop as low to think we are faking it and calling ourselves an imposter.

Day Fourteen: Simplify your subscriptions

 Day Fourteen: Simplify your subscriptions What have you allowed yourself to subscribe to? Our stories, our beliefs. Our lastest Netflix binge watch, email lists and newletters, signed up to get that free thing and now our inbox has over 20K in unread messages from just the past year (or maybe that's just me). I have found that much of my stress has come from adopting too many "babies" in my life that require feeding and management. Too many task that have added to an already full "mental load"...and for the most part, don't "need" to be a the top of the list for action and attention. They are not priorities, especially if they are not more FULLY helping me to maintain and gain the momentum I desire to be experiencing in my life. With my food, my physical fitness, my mental wellness... And when there is more stress, there is more time that is required to be spent in stress management and recovery. Which is great, and it also doesn't have to flo...

Day Twelve: Back to Basics

 Day Twelve: Back to Basics I'm keeping it simple. "Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler." - Albert Einstein Part of why you are possibly stuck in your life is because what "it" is...was made more complicated than it needed to be. Meanings, blame, stories, narratives, complicated "solutions" or problems in "sheep's clothing". Maintenance of my weight loss and fat loss success didn't have to be "hard". My health didn't need to take the turn it did. I could have much more easily kept in the habits that I had established and the momentum that was running in my life, INCLUDING my ankle injury, instead of walking away from everything in a very emotional time in my life. I honestly don't know what shifted in such a significant way for me, but it did. So now,....bring things back to basics. Get enough sleep, but not too much. Get enough movement, but not too much. Eat a balanced diet (which means HOW you c...

Day Thirteen: Create and connect; Familiar Spaces

 Day Thirteen: Create and connect; Familiar Spaces The key to consistency and habits is creating the familiar. Our brains love the familiar. Why? Familiar is predictable. And if we can predict an outcome of a behaviour or action, we are establishing both safety and a neuropathic . A neuropathway of sequences that makes the action more efficient for the brain to execute requires MUCH less energy to perform. And boom! You found your "ease" in the doing and it doesn't seem like or feel like "hard" work, or "work at all. It becomes effortless. In order to make something automatic (autonomous) and effortless in execution, we need to input over 100,000 reps of action into practicing it. Currently, the Jumpstart exercise program is laid out to perform the exrercises stretched out over 4 times during the day. Technically, it's enough exercising for one solid workout, but in branching it off into separate workouts throughout the day, you get 4 times as many inpu...
