Ran 3 minutes 30 seconds last night
Conscious and subconscious results are certainly combining here. I’ll try and describe exclusively what the subliminal feels like… before talking about plans for the future.
I have been in SUCH A RUT lately. Very tech-addicted, low, bad habits, terrible diet. I am as far away from the path to mastery as is humanly possible.
After my loop last night, as planned, I pulled up my copy of the book of 5 rings and started reading it.
I was really struck by the idea, reflected in the sales page of H:O as well, that “if you want to understand 10,000 things, understand one thing deeply.”
I ended my reading session there, to reflect on that, and because my gf wanted attention before bed.
The focus I had while reading was wonderful. I wasn’t skipping lines, I didn’t have to go back to re-read lines that I missed… I sometimes read a line multiple times to let it sink in deeper, but only intentionally.
Focused, sharp, enjoying myself, zero of the depression/dread that I experienced from yesterday before the loop.
And I’m about to meet up with a friend to practice wrestling, balance-fighting (hard to explain, but like a low-contact version of sumo), and handstands for the upcoming “adult sports day” we’re both competing in.
