Weekly Assignment 1/13: Know Your Gears!

Happy Sunday Friends!

Hopefully you are all Committed to healthy Eagles pregame activities !😅😜

I am looking forward to our zoom call on Wednesday, January 22nd at 6:30pm. I will post a check in this week to confirm who will be attending.

This week, our goal is to be aware of creating balance within our lives ⚖️

I use the phrase "Know Your Gears", typically in reference to workouts and breathing patterns. In the physical performance world, science tells us of a "flow state" that creates optimal performance. It is the balance point within the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Being over-wired potentially leads to over reactive outputs, while being under-stimulated leads to failure to pursue. Rhythm is the center point of being both grounded, and alert.

"Perfectly balanced, as everything should be": Thanos...🤔

*Note: This doesn't necessarily mean the being on the 1 or 5 scale of your gears is "bad". It all depends on your intent! (see photo)

This phrase does not have to pertain to the physical. Energy within the ether (space) is always trying to come to balance. Consciousness is always trying to become aware of the center point (the heart), which is love, compassion, oneness, and non-judgement.

Before learning how to navigate your gears, you must first be aware. Start taking inner notes.

This morning even after movement, meditation, plunging, hanging with Jack, drinking a green smoothies/Shaman's brew...I still felt off balance (probably need some sleep!). Sometimes the simple things like taking a mindfulness walk, focusing on the breath, and taking in some sunlight/nature does the trick!

When do you feel like you get into flow state?!
