Reflection I

I have learnt many useful anecdotes thru my gym class.

- Paint the analogy of flat road, climb (how steep, how far, how long), what it will be like at the top, flat road, climb, downhill (to relax), flat road, climb, flat road home
- Promise a break after a tough ride . What will the break look like or be? How long is the break?
- deliver on the promise
- what are the benefits of the tough ride? Why ride with me?
- be a coach - don't think. Just do it
- ask yourself "why are u here?" why are u here at this instance, this moment?
- be sincere
- be real
- show that I too acknowledge the hardship & together with you, despite the hardship, I will ride out the storm
- together as a team, we can achieve great things, beyond our wildest dreams
- dream big
- BHAG : big, hairy, audacious goal
- don't pretend to be strong. Don't hide behind the wall of challenges & pretend to be superman, to be so capable of overcoming it so easily. Let them know that I too am having difficulties. I too am human after all. Despite the difficulties & challenges, I will overcome them one at a time. Break the challenges into small pieces.
- break the challenges into small pieces
- I promise you that I will give u my best & that I will do my best.
- Let's work together to achieve beyond our wildest dreams
- Ride with me on this journey
- Be real. Be sincere. Let it come from the heart. Show my vulnerable side. The one who is strong is one who is brave to show the vulnerable side. Feel. Don't numb myself.
- Be mentally strong. Be resilient.
- Slowly build that mental strength

Note to self
- a relationship is 2-way
- if the other person doesn't want to ride with me, if the values differ, I must be prepared to let go
- can values change? Can the inner/core value change?
- no point forcing the other person to ride with me as it will then be a painful journey
- moving forward, my blog will be on my reflection after the gym session
- a person who is courageous is one who acts despite the fear. Courage is NOT lack of fear.
- it's time for me to put all these into action & take it from there & grow.
