Welcome to Mindfulness Essentials!
OPEN, PRODUCTIVE DISCUSSIONS WELCOME!
These mindful materials are created for students at Schilz Martial Arts—and for anyone seeking balance, focus, and clarity. After every kickboxing class, we take a moment to shift from physical training to mental centering. These reflections are designed to help calm the mind, release stress, and strengthen your inner agility—the same way training strengthens your body.

Each lesson—whether you read it, watch it, or listen to it—isn’t meant to give you answers, but to invite reflection. The thoughts shared here come from personal experience, study, and perspective. You’re not meant to think or act like me; instead, you’re encouraged to pause, consider, and connect with what truly matters to you.
​
If a lesson speaks to you, take it with you. If it doesn’t, let it pass. Either way, your presence and reflection are appreciated.
Audio versions of certain lessons are marked with the  icon, and more past lessons are being converted over time—so check back for updates. If there’s a particular lesson you’d like to hear read aloud, or a topic you’d like explored, please share your thoughts in the Comments section.

Day 4: Reaction and Damage – What if there are stalls

There comes a time when your effort feels like it far exceeds your results. You’ve been putting in the work, but the outcome isn’t showing up, or progress hasn’t been seen.  This is the breaking point for many—but it’s also where transformation begins. True success isn’t about instant gratification—it’s about being the kind of person who keeps showing up, even when no one’s clapping. Let this silence build your strength, not shake your belief. If you have a targeted outcome in mind, don’t allow yourself to be swayed. If you stay strong and believe in yourself strongly enough, no one or nothing else will get you to quit and walk away.

Working out is this exact scenario. You’ve been training for days, or weeks, or months, and all of a sudden, you’ve stopped growing or changing. This does not mean you have reached your limits or that there will be nothing left, but to be satisfied where you are. Let your body catch up, let your body and mind adjust to the new you. Now is the time to keep pushing, adjust to the new life style.
