Making the most of the weather

My efforts have been centred on technique the past few weeks. This came about due to bad weather again. I started looking at my climbing style at the indoor gym, probably the best place to concentrate on this as I get side tracked with progressing the project if I get to the Bay.

It is difficult to critically look at what you do but using time and the weather I was able to spend a simple few hours going over basics and getting an expert at the gym to look at me. My flexibility and general movement was fine, real cool actually is it hard to say this about yourself. If you were giving advice to another mate /person its easy to say but the minute you consider yourself all these barriers come up stopping you. Again my stamina was the issue and is the major sticking point on the project.

I am now channelling my thought toward technique and forgetting about the big picture. This has made me concentrate on a fixable reality. Will it work? Who knows but the journey is a gas.

Today

Okay I'm living a life of my choosing and its so cool. I'm beginning to realizing a dream, I'm climbing and just enjoying the process. The experiment of unfolding a problem is just so good for my mind and body.

I've had to process and accept failure . Failure comes often in climbing but from the experience I am able to learn and move on. Add the joy of simple success which is just so intense its too difficult to explain.

Climbing has transformed my thinking I get so much out of simple details of life now. Take this morning it was windy for the first day in weeks, I stood in the wind, I realised that I missed the wind and was glad to remember how it felt.

I've had to train my body in a different manner, I've worked at climbing endurance and power but I've had to loose weight. This hasn't been to difficult with a purpose comes strength.

The strength is to eat healthy and feed my body to preform. I've stopped eating meat both as a health move but as well its an ethical decision. I'm mindful of all the toxins we can inadvertently put in our body just by blindly eating what ever. The ethics and morality of those who choose to; one place chemicals in our food and secondly the morality of selling it to the population as food is just repugnant.

Today I'm happy with the process of living, simple is good with understanding of myself comes acceptance of others. Have a cool day.
