DO YOU REALLY HAVE CONTROL?

If You Are Like Most People You Probably Spend
More Time Worrying Than You Should.
Worrying About Job Security, Project Deadlines,
Health, Shrinking Budgets, Rising Taxes, The
Housing Market, World Poverty, Our Children's
Safety, Even The Weather. Some Things We Can
Control, Others We Clearly Cannot. The Key To
Maintaining A Positive Attitude In Life Is To Know
The Difference. Make A Commitment To Attack
Everything Within Your Control And Be Intentional
About Not Worrying About The Things You Can't, But
If You Use Self-Discipline And Refuse To Worry About
Them, It Will Become Easier.

I ACCEPT ME

Self Acceptance Essentially Means That You
Understand Who You Are And Where Your
Strengths & Weaknesses Lie. You Know What You
Want. This Will Eventually Allow You To Be
Comfortable With Your Place In The World.
Self Acceptance Means That You Are Happy
With Who And What You Are, But It Does Not Mean
That You Give Up Any Hopes Of Change Or Improvement.
I Was Talking To A Friend One Time Who Had
Recently Lost His Job, Was Losing His Condo On The
Lake, And Was Sure He Was About To Lose His Truck.
He Didn't Know What Was Going To Happen Or
Where He Was Going To Go From Here!?!?
After Some Good Training Sessions, Some
Positive Conversations, And Faith That He Always
Kept No Matter How Rough It Got; He Had
Accepted Who He Was And Where He Was In Life.
Now He Is The Proud Owner Of CrossFit Point Break,
And A Positive Mentor, And A Role Model For The Many
People Who Look Up To Him. Acceptance People...
That Is The First Step To A Lifetime Full Of Growth
& Prosperiety!

Accept Conditions As They Exist, Or Accept
The Responsibility For Changing Them" -Denis Waitley

FIGHT OR FLIGHT?

"FIGHT OR FLIGHT"

By It's Very Design The Fight Or Flight Response
Leads Us To Fight Or To Flee - Both Creating
Immense Amounts Of Muscle Movement And
Physical Exertion. This Physical Activity Effectively
Metabolizes The Stress Hormones Released As
A Result Of The Activation Of Our Fight Or Flight
Response. Once The Fighting Is Over - Which Triggered
The Response - Has Been Eliminated, Our Body
& Mind Return To The State Of Calm. So,
Remember The Next Time You Find Yourself
In The Middle Of That 3, 5, or 7 Round WOD......
FIGHT! It'll Be Over Soon!!!

DEVOTE, MAKE IT HAPPEN & OVERCOME

Change Is A Word We Hear Oh So Often. Whether
We Like It Or Not, Things Are Going To Change; We
Can Influence How They Change, And Whether
The Change Has Positive Direction For Our Life.
There Is Much That Affects Our Own Well Being That
Is Within Our Control. Change Will Sweep Through
Our Life, As Needed, To Take Us Where We're Going.
We Can Trust That Our Higher Power Has A Plan In
Mind, Even When We Don't Know Where The Changes
Are Leading. We Can Trust That The Change Taking
Place Is Good, And The Wind Will Carry Us Where
We Need To Go.

IS SACRIFICE NECESSARY?

"The Important Thing Is This, To Be Able At
Any Moment To Sacrifice What We Are; For What
We Could Become." -Charles Dubois


Whether You Are In Those Last Few Yards Of
Dragging That Heavy Load, Or There Are A Few
Minutes Left In That Amrap, Or You Have Two More
Reps To Go, And The Bar Feels Like It's Slipping I
Want You To Remember.... You Have All Put In
Hours Upon Hours Of Commitment To Reach A Level
That Not Everyone Will Experience. It Takes
Discipline, Dedication, And Drive To Accomplish
Our Hardest Tests. Sacrifice Out There This Weekend

I Can't Help But Think This Message Needs To
Spread To Every Child And Adult On The Planet!
This Self-Affirmation, Like Many Others, Empower
Us To Live Our Lives To The Fullest. Students And
Adults Experience Times Of Stress And Rejection.
Believing In Ourselves By Combating The Negative
With Positive Thinking Helps To Reprogram Our
Unconscious Mind. So, Remember Be Kind!

WHAT IS A NEW YEARS RESOLUTION?

"I Never Make New Year Resolutions Anymore," The
Man Told Me, "I Never Keep Them Anyway." First,
We All Need Changes. Some We Find Very Hard To
Admit To Ourselves. I've Heard People Who Say,
"I Have No Regrets About My Life. If I Had To Do It
Over Again, I'd Do It The Same Way." But That Attitude
Is Way Too Blind And Self-Serving So Far As I'm
Concerned. There Is Great Power In Confession---
To Ourselves And To Others. Owning Up To Our
Failures Is The First, Painful Step On The Road To
Something Better. Have A Blessed 2012
