Survived the heat , I wasn’t worth anything. But I survived
Quiet
It’s been relatively quiet in our community lately. I would love to know how everyone is doing lately. I can only imagine how busy everyone’s summer is. For me, I’m still using the 30+ stairs each way up and down the stairs to the treehouse’. It’s made an incredible difference in my endurance each time. Now that the tropical depression has moved out of the area (complete with 11 confirmed tornadoes all around me), the heat has become the talk of the town. How hot you may ask? I feel like quickly roasted chicken. And, don’t even ask about the humidity down here. But I’m still doing me and I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer. Love to all!!!!

Same stuff on my mind, just don’t want to dump it all out here. Further a lot of work and sport, found a new spark for my goal (which I had since high school) that’s great. Currently a heatwave here aswell. I think that pretty much says it

@Deb Edwards for cold weather you can dress, for hot. Well eventually there are no more clothes to take off
Appears I do not trust progress
Been working out for a little bit now again ,this is my 7th week in a row. I’m doing a program where the recovery weeks are always the same. (Previous one was at week 3) On paper I’ve got better, in my mind: I’ve made an error. I do not know what it could be. Maybe I missed a set, maybe I did it with wrong technique, maybe…. Instead of : okay nice there is progress. I’m looking for proof there isn’t any progress? Btw thinking back, this happens on other things aswell. How can I change this mindset ? If it is even a mindset

@Tyler Buckingham I think I explained it wrong: things did change, I got faster/ were able to finish something I couldn’t before. But my mind is: no you didn’t get faster, you probably missed a set. No you weren’t able to finish correctly, it’s probably a bad technique with half reps You were just lucky this time, can’t do it twice. It is searching for something which makes the “success” not count
Should you compare yourself to others??
Comparison is truly the thief of joy… I was speaking with a client of mine, a successful actress and VO artist, who was comparing themselves to a very well-known actress and star of a hit TV show on Netflix, and honestly? She was right to do so. Let me explain. It is easy to see people ahead of us and immediately compare ourselves to: The success The money The work You name it. It’s EASY to compare that. But what I shared with her was: “And what did it cost her?” “How long has she been playing the game?” “What has she had to give up to get here?” We. Have. No. Idea. On the surface of other’s success it is EASY to compare, so yes, rightfully so she should compare. But that doesn’t mean the answer on the other side is so simple. I know many people in high places who sacrificed families, holidays, relationships, and more because work was more important or the main focus. It doesn’t make it wrong for any of us to prioritize something over another, but there most certainly is a cost and consequences to success. Not good. Not bad. Just different. So before you let your comparison steal your own joy and your own success, keep in mind… You have no idea what someone had to go through to get where they are today. *and this actress? She’s been playing the game since the early 90’s and is now finally “succeeding” even after quite a busy career. Not even remotely an overnight success.

There can be an healthy aspect within. People you look up to: hey I wanna be like them. What can I do? Hey he does it this way instead of that. Let’s try it. It may also help pushing yourself into doing something uncomfortable, that way you will grow. I do believe the line between healthy and unhealthy comparison it thin, but the is and should be an diffrence
What do people do?
95% of the time my life has 2 days 1. Sport,work,household,wasting my time at home 2. Sport,wasting my time at home I want more, I don’t want to just waste my time away. But I literally do not know what to do, a lot of stuff doesn’t sound interesting. There is some stuff which sounds interesting but is out of reach for a single day: Climbing,snowboarding,canyoning,skydiving Just anything you can do in the mountains (Where I live there are none) I just don’t know what to do, and I’m tired of doing nothing except hanging around at home. Ps. I do not know in which catogory this belongs. I’m seeking for ideas what other people do or some advice I guess.

@Tyler Buckingham it fine with me, but just noticed I do need a purpose when doing something. So for example walking mindlessly doesn’t excite me. But walking towards let’s say that particular waterfall does. (Yes my mind works strange)

@Tyler Buckingham I would love to walk the Dutch mountain trail, I did a part last September. 3 more to go. But with my current agenda it’s difficult. (It’s like 20-30 km each + the drive + the recovery) Also I love (wild) camping, unfortunate it’s not legal where I live, I could drive to a neighbouring country where it’s alowed on some spots. But it’s not really filling for the day itself. I really wanna meet some friends but for some reason I don’t , I find it strange to ask someone to drink a coffee somewhere. Or think of a fun thing to do. I mean I can’t figure out something to do for myself let alone for 2 people. Also a thing which sounds interesting is trying out new stuff. Going to a gun range, surfing,boxing …….? But never dared to take the steps (Reading back what I’m wrote, I’m making all sorts of excuses like I don’t wanna?)
