We are at the half way mark in the Bruce Lee Podcast Challenge. Here is a quick update from what I have experienced.
Daily Affirmations: 1 - I realized that one of my affirmations meshes with 'letting others be', and not be quick to judge others. I did not have much encountering of new people, but I have tried to be more approachable to the people I interact with. This also includes greeting strangers, even if it is just a head nod.
Just a friendly smile and saying, "have a nice day", to someone might make them forget (if) they are having a bad day.
2 - I (we) literally took the loss as our team loss another game. After the game, a teammate and I analysed the things we did wrong and while minimal, the things we did right. Build on the positive to minimize the negative. Kinda like Bruce Lee's quote, "Adapt what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is specifically your own."
Nutrition and Fitness: I did not really change my diet, but I did...well, in the process of...changing the amount of food I eat. I am slowly experimenting with eating half of what is on my plate. Oh, but food is so good. Work in progress.
As far as exercise, for the first time in maybe two years, I jumped back on the bike. Okay, it was on a trainer, but I did spin for 90 minutes. Yes, my sit bones are sore. Unfortunately, during the week, I have been busy at work and have not found time to hit the gym. I tried to make up for it by doing little exercises and stretching at home.
I played my usual weekly hockey game. As mentioned, we lost. I also did a little gardening, meaning trimming bushes for about two hours. Somewhere between there, I injured my shoulder. I think it was from carrying my hockey bag. I should be good for the next game, but I will take it easy as far as shoulder work outs for the week.
Oh, I am 174 pound. I 'lost' one pound. Not much progress...I should eat less cookies.
Harmony: Let others be. I realized...because the wife tells me...that I am a "side seat driver". I sometimes react to things I see on the road, which can startle the driver. I have since tried to let the wife drive in peace.
There were a few times when I wanted to give some of my teammates a few pointers, but in a not so positive way. I stopped myself as in the end, we are just out there to have fun. There is no need to add pressure to a fun situation.
We will see how things go as we reach the end of this challenge.
