Just had the morning call w my buddy T again. It was enjoyable and enlightening as usual. A few things:
What worked since yesterday? Went to gym at lunch, felt energetic throughout the whole afternoon when I'd usually be dozing off.
What didn't work? Took way too long though, need to cut work out time shorter, as traffic alone took 40 mins.
Called J who was in bangkok trying to enrol her, there's potential there. I'm glad I don't feel demotivated because people are busy or need to get back to me. The fact / interpretation distinction works well here on me.
Went out w sales guys and built good relationship. Very ad hoc event but I really realised the way to touch people's heart is to really engage and know what they are interested in, you go from there and bob's your uncle. And you may even gain a friend, I choose the word friend over ally as the latter makes it sound too much like a battlefield. So it really involves, be relaxed / light hearted, get present to conversations and listen with intentionality and see what they need. Then you go offer them something without a hope of getting something in return.
Missed the detox intro as a result but I will go next sat instead and really aim to kick it started by then. 9 days! shakes each day! ie extra 30 mins each day to make the shakes! huge commitment but let's see how we go! I'm determined to make it happen.
Also, something quite fun was I reached out to TZ, the legendary girlfriend who's so driven in fitness that she's applying to pass the PT test. Funny how a simple 5 min whatsapp conversation you can find out so much about what people are up to in their lives. Well when she actually passes it, I aim to have sessions with her, why not help a friend out when they start out? Everyone needs a bit of support when they can. Plus, she's got proven track record on getting fit herself anyway. =)
Possibilities for today:
- gym during lunch
- blood donation
- concentrate and get things done before the weekend
- focus on who i am being - no shortcuts, but really present to what it is i'm aiming for in life
- i also dressed up for black friday in lieu of the protests, but then i realised i don't even know the clear details of the syllabus CY want to put in place and went straight into supporting the protesters. Not that either side is right or wrong, but this is my BEING. Not clear about finding out all the details. I need to do better on that front. =)
