What is Metta?

I went to an all day meditation retreat on Metta a weeks ago, so I am feeling inspired to share about Metta 😉

 

What is metta?

Metta is a wish for all sentient beings to be well and happy. To be safe. To be healthy.

Metta is generosity of the spirit. Metta is generosity of the heart. It is openness. It is unconditional loving-kindness.

Metta makes no distinctions between people. Metta embraces all beings with a boundless quality.

 

Here is an example of a metta ...

  • Broke the national bench press record, broke the national squat record, broke the national overall total, and won best lifter award at the Old Skool Iron Classic Powerlifting Championships (described more here)
  • Won first in my class and overall at my first physique competition, qualifying ...

NPC Nationals 2014

I’ll keep this brief…

The journey to NPC Nationals was extremelyyyyyyy difficult! It took every ounce of me, mentally and physically! Every ounce. Everything.

The road was rocky…So many times I was uncertain I could pull it off. I was a nutcase, straight up. Mindfuckery. I trained hard tho, and I gave it my all…and….it ended up working out!

NPC Nationals took place Nov 21 + 22, 2014 in Miami, Florida. Every physique competitor looked AMAZING! These girls were JACKED!!!! It was also ...

Won first overall at NPC SF :)

cool! I won a big sword –> deets in a sec 😉

It was a well-run show, and I prepared a lot differently for this show than the last show. Nutrition was very different and peak week was totally different, but I felt it worked much better for me! I am still experimenting and learning, but definitely I liked how I looked and felt 😉 Here I was in the morning in my hotel, before pre-judging:

I won first overall at my physique competition!!

Oh my GOODNESS

I am TERRIBLE for being SUCH a delinquent blog-writer…I had a HUGE victory…and here it is…3 weeks later! (sawwy!)

My first ever PHYSIQUE competition was on August 23rd, 2014. The NPC Tahoe Show, in South Lake Tahoe. A national qualifier.

ANNNNDDDDD….I WON!!!!!

It was AWESOME.

I mean, don’t get me wrong…The prep was grueling (because I had JUST finished my powerlifting competition and decided to jump into this physique competition with only a 10 week prep- eeks!) …sooo ...

“COMMITMENT IS ABOUT CHOOSING TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON WHAT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING TO DO IN SPITE OF HOW YOU FEEL”

YES! Read this today and this is EXACTLY how I feel and what I am DOING.–>

Sticking to your training and nutrition plan really has very little to do with how you feel.

If you only train and manage your nutrition properly when you feel like it you can rest assured that you’re never going to get anywhere because the times when you feel like it are largely going to be outweighed by the number of times when there are ...

Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard

I just read Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip and Dan Heath

I have been fascinated and researching more and more about…Willpower. Habits. How to achieve. Tips to change. For myself. And for my clients… How can we make behavior change easier? Etc etc etc…

Turns out that willpower is an exhaustible resource. 

Check this one of many examples: College students were asked to fast for 3 hours and report to a study about food taste perception.  They were then led ...

Daily Commitments

Physique prep has been hard as hell. I have been giving it my all. It’s just that I didn’t give myself much time to prep : /
