Day 2 - How You Act
“How you act is the combination of the unconscious and the intentional conscience. By being able to differentiate between the two and focus on both of them, that is total self control.” - Andy Hrovat
What You Can Control
Over the next 21 days the focus of this class will cover the 5 areas you can control in combat, yoga and life. In the first four classes we will discuss the first area you can control - YOURSELF - Today’s focus is how you act.
Combat
In combat, many times, how you act and react happens faster than you can think. Therefore it is training that is responsible for the split decisions made in the heat of battle. Knowing and training our best decisions before we need to make them increases our likelihood of success.
What is an area in your life where you can automate decisions that will set you up for success? (diet, training, lifestyle)
Yoga
One of the many skills yoga teaches is the ability to act intentionally. This intentional action is a result of listening to the instructions we are given throughout the class.
Do you remember a time in today’s class where you lost focus on listening and found yourself unsure where to move next?
Life
In combat you train and repeat the best possible outcomes in order to unconsciously act and react faster than you can think, yoga on the other hand teaches the skill of slowing down and connecting with intentional action.
Notice your automated daily decisions/habits. In what ways can you add intention to make the decisions more aligned with who you want to become.
