Captain's Blog, Stardate 2013.03.11, U.S.S. Enterprise - Inspiration and One day at a time

So we had our recent I Ho Chuan meeting this past saturday. When I left I had a lot on my mind, because I left that meeting feeling lighter on my feet than I have in weeks. As I heard about everyone else's progress and their stories, I found that I was not alone in my struggles, and although our stories were different, a lot of the core issues were the same. I found this extremely inspirational, and all I had to do was look around. So after I left I found renewed determination to pull myself up by my bootstraps and make sure that by the time the next meeting rolls around I will be better than I am today. Thank you everyone, for being the inspiration I needed.

So, if I do 180 push ups and sit ups and 60 pull ups a day, take sunday off, I should hit my required target. I hate to say it, but I haven't been hitting my numbers. So I have decided to take a new approach. I'm going to throw the numbers out of my brain window. Ignore them. Take this whole thing one day at a time. What is the difference between 180 and 300? 300 and 500? 500 and 1000? I think very little other than my mindset. Right now, I would be floored by the mere thought of doing 100 push ups in a set, which if I think about it, I could say the same about 40 rep sets about a year ago. So what I'm getting at is the following: picture the finish line 10m past where it is. In order to hit my numbers, I'm gonna forget about my average pace per day, what's left, and any analytics and thoughts about them. I'm going to think about only one thing, and that is to do more today than I did yesterday. Hopefully, this will allow me to think less and do more, just by keeping things simple. I'll keep ya posted.

PS I am behind on writing post 1 of the book project. I will rectify this asap. Sorry for the delay.
