Focus and habit, power and light

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new."
- Dan Millman -

Some will say that it is easier to destroy than to create. But when we are talking about habits, good or bad, the reinforcement is the problem. Fighting against is much more dangerous than creating the opposite good habit. Building the new will work in your favor if you try to get rid of some bad habit. The less you keep the problem in your mind, the faster will fade away. The more you focus on it, the stronger will be. Remember that.

"When sleeping women wake, mountains move."
- Chinese Proverb -

Just think about suffragettes, the moms whom do not like a teacher at the local college or the modern feminists. There is something there, deep inside, an enormous energy waiting for you to tap in. You can be a star and shine eternally, as a woman who embrace her inner beauty and power. Start now.

"Real freedom begins with obedience to a higher influence -- a higher, finer energy within oneself."
- Jacob Needleman -

Who are you? Are you your left hand, or the right one? Are you your left leg, or the right one? All these are yours, but are not you. Are you your head? Your ears? Your eyes? Are you your body or this is it yours? Are you your pain, your happiness, your thoughts? Who are you really? You know who you aren't, but this powerful inner self is somehow elusive. Even though, you still need to tune in and reach your full potential. Brighter than thousand suns. Yes. That's you.

How can a habit change your mind

I use to hate to go to gym, to see it as a chore. Anyway, all this changed when i took a personal coach, and i start to train at high intensity. Before, in the gym, it was a kind of unfocused, lazy exercise, that i would do only in my comfortable limits. With a mentor, the situation change. I start to have very powerful trainings, that sometimes will leave me with no energy left, done at 105% intensity. I mean, at the moment I was completely exhausted, I would still have 1-2 series until the end. It was different, being kept accountable by somebody else, I achieved in 3 months more than in 10 years of know-it-all training. At home, using nothing else than my body. No fancy monthly payments, not gym, no sauna. no protein supplements. It was an interesting experience. More than that, becoming a habit, I used my total immersion to anticipate the challenge, to feel like a legend every time I would finish my training. I start to like it. I applied the same strategy with running. It is still work in progress, but it is working. If you can, learn from an expert, even if that mean to pay him for a month. It is worth it, in terms of performance. Believe me.

I hope i inspired you, see you soon!

The best of myself, upgraded version

Everybody know how to achieve perfect health, physically, emotionally and mentally. And it is not hard. We need to sleep well, a solid 8-9 hours, we need to eat healthy, more than 70% fruits and veggies, no chemicals, no additives, no fast food or fizzy drinks. Organic if is possible, and more than half alkaline, and to avoid salt, sugar and caffeine based stimulants. We need to drink at least 200 ml every 3 hours. We need to exercise 3 times per week, on average. That's it. Doing this will guarantee that we gonna age gracefully, and we will avoid many of the modern era illnesses.

But why some of us do this, and some do not? Where is the difference? To add to this, many of us want, start to do it, but become lost somewhere on the way? I will tell you. On your force of will alone, you will go for a while, using your energy. But, as your energy is not unlimited, you will stop at some moment. The trick is to learn how to create habits, and to continue after that effortlessly, by default. But this will raise another question. How i learn to create and dismantle habits? I will talk about this in a following post.

Good night, my friends1

No dopamine month

I have in mind some idea to test, and I believe that will be hard, but I do not know yet if this is only my projection of the future. I have in mind something like a Anti-Dopamine Addiction Month. What that means? All of us have some ways to release dopamine, most of them are not helping us and they are creating addiction. Some examples: playing my games on the phone or laptop, shopping spree, sweets to compensate some negative thoughts and the list can continue. I will hunt these addictions and i will ban them for one month. I could be surprised, as in that time where i tried not not drink Coca Cola anymore, after few years of drinking few liters every day. First three days I was in hell, but after that everything was fine. I did not crave it anymore. So, probably this month will be June, and it will be an interesting experiment. as I find pleasure in pushing my mind boundaries further.

Have a nice day!
