BLOG
OPEN, PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSIONS WELCOME!
Welcome to my blog. These are blogs that are written for students at Schilz Martial Arts. At the end of each class a ‘Lessons In Mindfulness’, are written and read to students, with the sole intent of refocusing our minds. We just spent a class physically training in Kickboxing. Now we need to refocus our minds. Eliminating stress and improving our life agility is our purpose. These messages are meant to be shared with everyone!
​
These blogs are not meant to give anyone answers. These comments and responses are answers, based on my upbringing, my educational background, and my preferences. I do not want you to think like me or act like me, this is not the purpose. It is to remind, make you think, and stir up emotions that can get swept under the rug or buried in our everyday chaos. What is important to you? If this is not important to you, nor is it of any value, please pass by. Otherwise, thank you for reading and processing this information! Your feedback is always treasured!

Day 5:  Sight, Sound - Reactions

2/18/2025

0 Comments

 
When we see or hear something that is not appropriate, counter-productive, and/or hurts other people, what is the hardest thing to do?  Is it learning not to react in an irrational way?  Some things demand our immediate and first reactions.  Some issues need us to step back and re-evaluate the situation for what is truly going on.  Children are our greatest example.  When a child has a problem it can become the highest DEFCON(Defense Ready Condition).  Their level of threat and fear is a priority 1, but in reality is small.  There are times when you need to play detective to truly find the problem or the source of the problem.  Their first reaction to what they see or we see and hear may not always be fact.

As adults, depending on our physical or emotional depletion; lack of sleep, lack of nutrition, and too many other fires in our lives.  Will we react as a child does, and take a simple problem and blow it out of proportion, or we can manage ourselves by removing ourselves from the challenge?  Give yourself a break and find someplace that you are able to breathe, and relax then head back into the issue, to actually see some of the underlying facts.  Maybe we will determine that we have no course of action because it doesn’t really affect us.

Some of the greatest evil in the world will make a problem seem life-threatening just to see our lives turned upside down.

​Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it! – Charles Swindoll
