Mindset Over Training

Last Saturday was something I didn't expect to happen.

I kind of lacked sleep the whole day because of a party on top a mountain the night before, but I still had the guts to get up from my bed the next morning for work and for my postgraduate classes in the afternoon.

Clear the Stormy Cloud of your Mind

Honestly, I have a dilemma about this blog. 

I had so many thoughts running in my mind and I just could not find the one thing that could be the subject of this blog. I plan to make a blog at least every other day (subject to change), but all the good topics I want to talk about right now are coming into my mind like I am uploading them all at the same time and I cannot find the right ones to download into this post right now.

Won't your brain slow down with all the thoughts coming in? Mine did, and it took me hours to finally get back on track and do this. This was where I realized that you cannot register all thoughts from all corners of the planet at once. Whatever that thought is and where that is coming I cannot really describe. When you do entertain them at once, you become confused, you get a headache and you get lost with what you have to do.

I can relate to this moment when I saw a book at the mall. It made me feel ecstatic to buy. It was affordable based on the money I have on my wallet, and the title was catchy enough to make me want to read it. As soon as I was about to make my move to pick the book up, move to the cashier, make my payment, and leave, thoughts started to invade my mind in all shapes and sizes.

• Is this book really worth reading?
• What if I won't enjoy reading it?
• Is that why I came to the mall for? To buy that?
• The book only has a few pages. If I finish it in less than an hour, will it be worth buying it?
• Even worse: Will I still be able to go home after I buy this? (Seriously, this was in my mind that time.)

Like what I said above, episodes of headache, confusion, getting lost in the moment started to appear like I took a medication with severe side effects. That was where I sought advice from my friend. He would then refer the scenario as an intuition, or some kind of "gut feeling". When you have this feeling of wanting something, you are left with the choice to go for it, or just give it a pass. While he told me that this feeling comes down to my call, I knew I had to make a decision.
