I have basically failed to do this to my satisfaction. I have tried but due to being lazy in the summer I could not get into a regular habit of healthy eating. What I have learned again though is that without a plan on what to eat and required preparation, it just won’t happen. So As I prepare for the Fall season this will need to become a priority.

Exercise: Weak. I haven’t done much of anything combined with eating too much convenience store food this has been bad. Albeit expected in the summer months. Must continue to recreate the plan and be ready to take a run literally at it again.

Been running this week. Feels good but feeling the strain on the knees. Am I starting to get old? Probably but it would be the gained weight and belief that you are getting too old.

Mind:
Finishing this program Summer SOULstice there has been significant strides in reading every day. Hope to make this a half hour daily commitment from September 20!

Environment:
Our home and office has been OK, but with a little more effort everyday this should improve especially making more food for being on the road and cleaning one to three rooms every week

Summary 9-21
Have been very good with the family aspect however there needs to be more effort back into Friends, and Community.

Summary:
Overall a tough season but as the temperature finally has started to drop it appears that I have broken through on one key aspect of attaining what you want. It may even make this program obsolete, however I believe that we often need to reprogram ourselves to go after what we really want and to break old habits and form new ones as well as fine tune our belief system to reflect our desires. I have lots of experience the last three years doing this program, I have always believed it had a purpose and I did find some amazing results, it is now time to fully engage.

Summer SOULstice Wrap Up

Theme of the last two weeks: Beliefs; Act in what you believe not what you think you deserve.

I know I need to get back to the blog and my intentions, it has been a combination of being insanely busy, worn out by continued effort in all aspects of life, and some health and business challenges. I am really close to having some great news, but my history has shown that I need to have the results before talking about them as they often do not happen in the way we think they will. Thought for the end of the Summer SOULstice, continued effort in a hot summer is tough but achievable, Summer is a tough season to make heavy commitments to yourself, this season should be more about family, friends, light fitness and spirituality. This mainly the commitment category.

As well people receive what they believe in not what they think they deserve, just believe in what you want, don’t wish for it or think about it occasionally and be done with it, I think you must create a core idea of who you are, what you are good at and most importantly make your beliefs follow these and follow what you desire. Not what you have been trained to think. Find a way to imagine what you want, release the thought and have something to consistently remind you of this belief.

9-13 Find a way to build this belief with media, pictures, video and text reminders. Then just have confidence it will happen and let it go.

There will be more of this and refining these principals this Fall as I pursue optimized health and aim to lose 10-15 kgs. This is just one of my intentions.

Value Proposition
Spending more than I should yet being quite frugal on most days. Need to get past the money in my wallet means free spending. This is something that some of us have to train ourselves to do. I want to show my future children that money is something that should not control your life, by showing yourself you can control your spending you are gaining control over your financial life and soon you will have complete control over your finances, not the other way around.
My strongest foundation has almost always been moving ahead and doing work everyday to move my self ahead. An incredible amount of effort here, this should be showing significant results soon, but I have to keep pushing.

Working as Junior High Assistant Language Teacher has taught me a lot key lessons, but it has also continually showed me that this work is not very rewarding and is more of a signal of the life that I don’t want. Must use it as a motivator to keep pushing and witness the fear you feel in the form of frustration, anger and nervous energy. Be ready for the move forward, it is coming.

I spend a great deal of time witnessing how they do things and thinking of the reasons why they can’t speak English. As well I spend a great deal of time wondering about the positives and negatives of Japanese society. What I am learning now is this is a fruitless concern...
