Thanks Haelan,
So glad Strength For Life fit you so well… It's deeper cut at strength training was so needed eh?
Keep us posted on how things unfold with you getting set up at home.
As for the Gym, there is a hidden gem in many Gym's unsupportive, distracting and often times draining environments.
The hidden gem is that they're not supportive.
When you get your deeper groove cut at home, give the gym a try as it's good to train amidst adversity. Often times it's important to cut that groove first with a supportive environment, establish a clear intention, refine your focus. Deepen your practice before you start experimenting with adversity surrounding just about every step in a gym.
I think this is an important part of the path though. Returning to the environment that's not supportive fosters a greater authorship for your practice. You gain more control over how you need to show up, how you need to perform, and how you need to connect with yourself and your environment.
Doing so helps refine a dependence upon our external circumstances being a particular way. When we surrender into the traditional gym environment we're challenged to bring a higher level of mastery to ourselves and our practice. We learn to establish new boundaries, learn to regulate and negotiate an inner complexity that captures and animates more of our fullness and expresses more of our essential freedom.
I just wanted to share that perspective with you, let me know if it doesn't make sense or if you have other questions. I've also got some commentary on this subject here if you're interested….
Good luck with the Strength for Life program and getting set up with the powerblocks at home.
Peace, ~Rob
