Been up a while now and waking up to traffic and blustering winds, not that bad considering. Got some good training in to start the day starting with some deep breathing exercises including the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener that I learned from Combat Abs. Moved on to my Neck Mobility Workout and felt really good clearing the cobwebs and worked some Joint Loosening, feeling relaxed and ready to get the day going.
Today's going to be a good day for me and the girlie, a nice outing later with lunch and maybe a movie (thinking Captain America: Brave New World) and just being together. It's important to just be with the people in your life and enjoy the bonding and having fun together.
It is a joy to be able to do things and then get to spend time with a loved one, life is too fucking short to be bitter and acting like some superior dickhead. Finding the balance in certain aspects of life isn't easy and it can be tough at times but when an opportunity arises, do what you can and let it sink in. Yeah, I can be a sappy son of a bitch at times but it's better than being a prick with a stick up his ass and being some Andrew Tate wanna-be (who would really want to be that numbnuts anyway).
Being on a Fitness Journey isn't always what the workouts do to make life better, it's what they continue to bring and teach you how to adapt when needed, just like in life. Being stiff is no fun whether physically or mentally and focusing too much on that "kill or be killed" mentality can turn you into someone that becomes lonely and not worth being around. Sure it's important to protect yourself when it calls for it or protect those you love but unless you live in an area where there isn't much of a choice to protect yourself and have that mentality all the time, learn to find the balance.
Doing exercises for the neck can do wonders for brain function and get the nerves firing for a healthy spine, not just building a strong neck. Loosening up the joints goes beyond stretching and just doing gentle exercises, it builds durability and be able to move more smoothly with limited chances of injury instead of high risk and being prone to them. The deep breathing gets those juices flowing and waking the body up from the inside. The old timers knew the crucial elements of deep breathing and what they represent. From Shaolin Monks to Charles Atlas, The Mighty Atom, Paul Bragg and Maxick; all practiced Deep Breathing and knew their benefits for what they will do later on.
Hope everyone has a great morning and keep killing your goals whether they're small or massive, every goal conquered is a victory for what lies ahead. Be amazingly awesome.
