I got the second round stoppage win today. I'm proud of the effort I put it and I'm grateful for a tough opponent who made me work and not just get complacent after the first standing 8 count.

Got back into training again, the body feels good. Not going to lie, woke up really stroppy today. But I realised it's an opportunity to embody my message. Action solves everything. So here's what happened 1. Write down one thing I'm grateful for - change focus + change language + change physiology = raise state 2. Drink Water - Hydrate and get mental clarity 3. Shower - Freshen up, cleanse 4. Take client check in call - to bring the best out of clients, I bring my best self. It's my absolute duty and would be inauthentic to show up not as my best self while demanding the best for my clients. 5. Hit the gym - simple session to get the body moving. It doesn't move the needle in my long term goals but it gets me moving. Which makes the body and mind feel good. Quick pump.

It admittedly feels weird to go 3 full days in a row of not training. I am very bored tbh. I am very grateful for it though because it has allowed to met get some true rest and actually be present. Have been able to catch up on other things and work and it has also taught me to not be completely dependent on training. Not using as escapism from thoughts and have been able to truly sit with my thoughts. Grateful.

Today I will take the time to get offline and get out into nature. Time to reset the mind, body, spirit. I will also connect with loved ones.

Today, I look back at the last 4 years and am grateful to be able to see so much progress I have made. I am no longer dependent on external validation and every day, I do the inner work to improve myself as a man anymore.
