anxiety
____________________
 
·       it’s as if people have this cloud of doom, hanging over their lives… resulting in depression and/or the type of living-for-the-moment that negates future wellness.

·       it’s like a cancer that won’t reel itself-in; a hunger… with no sense of control over a future imposed by the most powerful.
 
although i try to return to gratitude, my mind drifts (often) to (1) ASI, (2) thermonuclear war, (3) climate change, (4) pandemics, (5) societal dissolution into madness, etc.
 
with NowHere else to go, we might as well stay.  maybe my mission is to facilitate a few smiles, along the way.

--------------------------------------------

last week, a student (who has been chronically late, unprepared, etc.) put it all together:
·       uniform, extra sharp
·       greeting (well-planned)
·       warm-ups
·       cardio & strength segments (well-planned)
·       cool-down & relaxation
·       feedback session (just the way we train it)
 
a few months ago, this student’s mother was complaining about me (to our dean)… but last thursday, i verbally congratulated him on his best day, his best performance… in our program.

i only wish his mother could have seen it.

😊

instead of anxiety, we all experienced a peak moment: a memory (and a real, good one at that).
