One year plan "Pathway to excellence"

As a result of achieving the brilliant and extraordinary body fat percentage of 30% and 85 kg, i decided that it is time to make a change. I become proactive and i made a plan for one year, to became a better version of me.

What i decided to do:

1. Training
-one yoga session daily, with yoga postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama) and meditation
-high intensity training - meaning the one promoted by this website, 3 times per week, mainly for building strenght and stamina
-medium intensity training - which could be running, freerunning or parkour, martial arts (mainly Wing Chun)

2. Energy boosting - a clever use of supplements and exercise
-fasting - 24 hours once per week
-supplements - plants and herbs, aromatic oils, magnesium, omega 3/6 rich food, ginseng and bee pollen, cocoa, tea
-memory enhancing techniques - as i write a book about them, i found them useful to master it, for various reason (easy to learn, easy to remember stuff, easy remind lost memories - anamnesia)

3.Life enhancing strategies
-writing every day - books and blogs, poetry and text
-alkaline diet - 70%, plant based diet 70%, no chemicals, additives, sweeteners and such, minimum of sugar and last. I am also exploring the ketosis process (ketosis is sometimes referred to as the body's "fat burning" mode, using fats instead of sugars, on low card diet)
-proper hydration - 200ml every 2 hours.

This is what i got until now, i will review it every end of the month, so my first review is at the end of this month, as i am in the day 23 of my plan.

When the magic happen?

Athlete. 

We’ve all heard the phrase “The magic happens outside your comfort zone”. But have you ever fully gotten the meaning of this? The truth is, breaking out of your comfort zone requires a lot courage. Effort. Dedication. You have to face the fear of the unknown. Jump in the deep end. Trust in your hard work and put your faith in the future. Scared? You should be. It’s frightening. But it’s even more rewarding. Here’s what is takes to step out of your comfort zone and why it’s totally worth it.

You must make the decision alone.

Doing something you have never done before requires making a decision. A life-changing decision. And although you will never be alone on your journey, you will be on your own for this. You and only you alone can decide to take the first step. Others can encourage. They can motivate. But they can never walk in your shoes. Your actions must come from within. Ask yourself: What do you want to achieve? Would you like to be better, stronger, fitter? Then, make your decision to get there.

There will be times when it’s hard!

The truth about greatness is: Getting there is not easy. You will have doubts. Tell yourself that your goal is unreachable. There will be a point when you want to quit. But this is all in your mind. It’s scared. Your mind prefers being comfortable. Because it doesn’t know any better. It’s unaware of what’s beyond your comfort zone. Trust us, there is so much in store.

Why it will all be worth it?

The pain, the struggle and the doubts are all a part of your journey to greatness. Stepping out of the comfort zone proves your strength and endurance. Teaches you discipline and determination. You will see things from another point of view. Discover a new side of yourself. And in the end you will understand that the real magic does not happen only once you’ve broken out of your comfort zone itself. But rather the journey of getting there.
