Well, it’s here. Now what?

Well, the clock hit midnight and all kinds of magical shit happen…I think. I fell asleep at 11 and woke up at 1am. I’m old and boring now, sorry.
I am not one for resolutions, but here are 5 things I look to really ‘get in tune’ with this year. None of it is new, and none of it is old. Each topic has about 5 sides to it, and it all takes plenty of time to perfect and make your own ideal.
They see me rollin, they hatin...
1. Eat REAL FOOD a wo/man would eat. I have talked about this recently and now feel it’s like beating a dead horse. But wait, is it a real horse…or a GMO horse? HAAA!! But….Just so you know…I am not ‘very’ concerned if a baby cow is taken from it’s mother, or if cows are being mistreated…I just don’t want myself or my family to suffer because of it. People are getting sick! And really, if your biggest concern is how an animal is treated and you have to make everyone aware of it…but have no clue about any of the PEOPLE problems out there…mistreatment is across the board….then what kind of person are you, really?
2. Be kind to those in need. Typically, I am a nice guy at heart. This year I will go far and beyond to show it. They were drunk, but I gave em my cooked chicken breast and some bananas I got from the store….because they asked for change. I was hungry, so I went and got more. My gas tank was on E, and I needed to collect…but the lady holding a HUNGRY sign got $1 and a can of tuna. If you really can’t afford training, but have a real desire to change your life…I am always looking for that eye of the tiger…and God will provide.
3. Relax. No, I do not mean with a beer or a vacation. I am talking about ‘de-stressing’ myself thru slow form exercise and meditation…and of course, prayer. Thru everyday problems, it builds up. I would look for a release thru ‘killlin’it’ and it worked, for the moment. In reality, I was compounding my problems without relaxation. Stress in every form will ruin you…some faster than others. Like I said, no more guessing. Don’t you think for one second that this will take anything from my intensity…actually, it will get stronger once I learn to shut it down when it’s harmful.
4. Learn, research and do something. OK, so, most people question what I say or flat out ignore me because….I am not a nutritionist, I haven’t been training for X amount of years, I don’t have this X cert…and so on. OK, so, tell me this…why do all these so called ‘expert’ trainers, doctors, nutritionists, etc….have so many different opinions when it comes to fitness…and especially FOOD? Why don’t you get off your ass and start doing some research and reading on your own….genius! We have doctors who say meat and cheese is all you need and others that tell u to live off beans and rice and avoid all animal products. Wait…they’re all DOCTORS…so they have to be right. Right? Well, for me…both fitness and food is going to be ol skool, leave the science in the damn classroom. Get strong and eat real food. I hated science anyhow…
5. Actions. Stop being a self doubting, energy sucking, negative, pussy! Contribute to the positive universe and do something! Your thoughts will become things…eventually. If you’re not where you want to be. Change it; first in thought, then act upon it…immediately.
No more waiting on the sidelines for me.
