Days that are made for you instead of at you.
Ever had a day where you felt the magic? Like the day came to greet you instead of shoving drama and shit down your throat? Well today was one of those splendiforous days filled with the mental magic. It started yesterday when I told Nick that instead of it raining it would be nice, why? Because I planned on golfing today and what happened? The day was superb.
Everything flowed into the next thing with such superb ease that I felt like everything that happened today was a combination of numerous days. Crazy how magic works huh? But on to the golfing. My first shot was utter shit. I went up to the ball and said well this is how my day is gonna be huh? Then I said no fuck that, this is gonna be fun and I am going to be great and change this around. So what happened? I became what I said. Every hole my shots got better. My chips were on point. My putting was mediocre until I used a new want. Oh BTW Golf is like being a wizard. You have a wand, it can be solid or flexible and you try to cast a spell on the ball to go into the hole. So now it’s my favorite because I feel like a wizard when I play!
But let’s get back to what I was saying, everything got better and I almost did a par on my last hole. 2nd time playing!! Woot! Anyways the day came to greet me. Instead of allowing that one shot to put me in a funk and make me feel like I such I turned it around into an opportunity to shine. Like how good could I be if I just relaxed and allowed it to come. And by the end of it I was on such a high like I never felt with anything else in my life. Not because of how good I was playing but because before each swing my mind went blank. I had no thought, no emotion, nothing. It was pure bliss like I haven’t felt. To just be so present in the moment and focusing on that one thing, the most amazing feeling.
So what was it about today? Well I got enough sleep, I felt great all day. Maybe its the supplements I’ve been taking to boost my vitamin k and other nutrients. (Probably) Besides that it was all about mindset. I went into my day with a new mindset about focusing on my health and mentality. I went for a mile run after lifting a little and working on my own body. I didn’t focus on speed, just breathing and planting my whole foot instead of supinating. The shift was to a more humbled mindset, not being the best, just focusing on making my body better. As I did the exercises my PT gave me for things I found myself really feeling stronger. This made everything feel more stable.
That is why strengthening the body also effects the mind. It helps your frontal cortex and other areas of the mind to help fight against degeneration. That in turn allows a better mentality. So tomorrow don’t work to fight and tackle the big beast, just do something small. I want you to focus on technique, or form, or go back to the basics of whatever you chose to do. Don’t worry about the end. Just be present in the now. Take it one breath at a time, and see the day come and greet you!
Today was a 9!
