Can’t Hurt Me

 As someone who works in the finance industry. I’ve seen the highs and lows of financial control. From what I have noticed with my buisness. Younger adults want to start having earlier control over their finances, whether they are investing, controlling their spending, starting a budget, and building their credit score. I see most instability happening with millennials and gen x. Simply because the information back than on having financial control was word of mouth, and the internet was not very informative about financial control in the mid 90’s either. However, like in my first control blog. There are a few things you must have to being on the path to financial control, or having financial control. “have a budget, have no credit card debt, be saving for retirement, have an emergency fund, and have a plan in place to know when you will be debt free.”. We all know financial stress is overwhelming. It’s tied to everything we do in life. If young and in school, or in fact any age as ...

 I’m going get into more detail now about the sides of the “control cube”, yes I’m naming it that now, that I talked about in my latest blog post. To start this “series” if you want to even call it that; let’s start by getting into more detail about physical control.  As I talked about in my last blog. Physical control, and I will sum it up with this. Physical control is the ability to control one’s own muscles during stressful situations, when most people would lose control and be a danger to themselves and everyone else.  Now to go into more detail. How’s your diet? Are you feeling healthy? Do you exercise? If so now often and what do you do to exercise? These are the detail of physical control I thought about after my last blog. These could be thought of as the building blocks for physical control. Because if you can’t take care of your eating habits, exercise, and stay healthy. You won’t be mentally capable of making healthy decisions. This will spiral into you not be...

When asked to defince control I think of a cube. With some sides having labels and other sides not being labelled, just being left blank instead. One the labelled sides we have, physical, emotional, mental, and financial. All of these sides makeup the cube of what control is to me. Because to me control is both internal and external, with each side effecting the others.  Physical is about controlling your muscles. Are they relaxed or tensed when they need to be? Are you going to fast or to slow? Where is your center? These are some questions we always ask ourselves in Kung Fu about out body and what it is doing. because your intent will be to do one thing, and you must have the control over your body to do it.  Emotional is internal, and it can develop into an external side. We know this because of how we react to interactions. When you do a kind thing, there is a warm feeling inside you, it feels good so you smile and say your welcome. The same goes for when something good ha...

It’s been 3 weeks since I started my new medication. And the data now supports some very positive results. My weekly push-up count has now increased 27% from 1100 to 1400 my sit-ups/week have also increased from 1000 to 1400, so a 40% increase. I’ve had similar results with my form reps as well. Going from around 30-35 reps of each form to 70, making a 115% increase. And I’m not working any harder. I’m training smarter. It’s my consistency that has changed. I am now consistently completely and logging my numbers day in and day out thanks to my reminders I give myself throughout the day to check off once I’m done completing my daily requirements. It’s a very regimented process, but it’s needed for someone like me and it’s helping. The only thing I still need to figure out is to find the time each day so I can bike about 12 to 15km a day, every day.  Numbers  P/U: 21404 S/U: 20153 Forms: 369/403 Sparring: 65 AoK: 417 Mileage: 549.44km
