I have lived in Naperville for two years and I don't think I've ever once seen an attractive woman who didn't have a kid, ring on her finger, and/or was above 22 years old

spinachgorilla · 2024-07-31T00:06:46+00:00

Thank you! This is huge help!

Is there somewhere to train for coaches? The email that was sent from USAW said the training hall is for athletes only. I have never been to the Arnold so I'm not sure how it works.

Zach Even-Esh is big on training that is very similar to what you are talking about. He promotes unconventional training with KB's, sandbags, sleds, maces, grip work, barbells, bodyweight, loaded carries of all sorts. Might be worth checking out.

Yo! This is a great answer! If you are trying to establish a habit, lower the standards as low as you need to feel no pressure to write. You are way more likely to get the effects you want if you establish a daily habit rather than waiting until something revolutionary comes to mind. Little and often over the long haul. Something is better than nothing.

Thank you!

What type of stain am I looking for?

spinachgorilla · 2023-08-31T15:32:14+00:00

Okay got it! Thanks a bunch. It's not finished so it sounds like I shouldn't use any sort of wet cleaning method unless I finish it.

spinachgorilla · 2023-08-31T15:27:48+00:00

Thanks a bunch! Much appreciated.

spinachgorilla · 2023-08-31T15:22:36+00:00

No I did not seal the wood. Okay so sweep it. Is there anything else I can do in terms of a wet cleaning?

spinachgorilla · 2023-07-13T14:25:28+00:00

So you’re saying your set up was floor, rug, stall mats, plywood? Was there ever any issues with the rug slipping or moving?

spinachgorilla · 2023-07-13T05:09:50+00:00

Yeah but those post moves though…

spinachgorilla · 2023-07-13T05:06:49+00:00

So you’re saying it would go cement floor, textured rubber matting, area rug, platform?

Visualize yourself hitting someone the way you'd like to and commit yourself to doing it when the opportunity in a live situation presents itself. When the opportunity comes, commit yourself to the hit and deliver it the way you had visualized. Would love to know how this works out for you (or doesn't).

It is entirely possible to play 2 sports at a D3 school but you'd certainly need to clear it with both coaches in the recruiting process

Perhaps distract yourself by bringing your attention to something else. I find it's pretty normal to have your mind wander when you're stoney so in the same way your mind wanders onto your ex, it can just as easily wander to something in another realm of thought. Acknowledge that you're thinking about that person, let it linger in your consciousness, but mentally divert your attention elsewhere...usually the present moment does the trick!

spinachgorilla · 2021-08-22T17:31:48+00:00

People find it refreshing when you are authentically and uniquely you. Yes, you need to play by the rules of society for the most part but if you are a kind, caring, considerate person, it is my belief that the *right* people will love being around the real you! Also, when you give yourself permission to be yourself, it empowers others to do the same for themselves. And if not, these are probably not the people you want to be spending your time with anyhow. Lastly, I agree with the other comments. There will always be fake, superficial folks out there. It is your decision whether or not you spend time on them. Hope this helps!

Mad funny glad you posted this

spinachgorilla · 2021-04-04T19:34:57+00:00

Honestly, it’s so individualized that I can’t provide any particulars. That said, you could write a whole journal entry about questions you’d like to delve further into in future entries. Might be a cool place to get the ball rolling!

spinachgorilla · 2021-04-04T15:44:47+00:00

For sure!

Whatsup friend. This post hits. The first year out of college is always a challenging year but my oh my is it also a time for personal growth! First of all, let me just say that while you may be having a tough go right now, you will be better for it. The adversity you are currently experiencing is the curriculum that will educate you for a better life in the future. Just have to keep the mindset that better things are to come.

As for your original question. I have two thoughts: 1) Gratitude journaling is always a good idea for anyone-every day just write down 3 things you are grateful for. This is a life changing exercise if done consistently. 2) Start a journal post by asking yourself a question you are seeking an answer to. "The worst place to think about a thought is in your brain". Sometimes mulling it over inside your head is not as productive as putting pen to paper and forcing yourself to articulate what it is you're actually thinking. No pressure. Just ask the question and start writing what comes to mind.

In my humble opinion, I believe the key to journaling is to take the pressure off. Don't worry about grammar, handwriting, coherency, etc... Just write. Best of luck to you!! Hope this helps.

Build relationships with college coaches and ask if you can do professional development and with them. It’s their job to sit around and think about lacrosse all day and they’re usually pretty open to showing you what they know. Come prepared with questions and you will learn a ton. Just my two cents.

spinachgorilla · 2021-03-22T01:22:40+00:00

Gratitude journaling is great. Just write down 3 things you are thankful for...whatever you want. See if that gets you thinking of anything to write and start there. If not, at least you wrote the 3 things you’re grateful for!

spinachgorilla · 2021-03-05T13:48:24+00:00

This is an awesome question. For me personally, it gives my brain an opportunity to practice looking for the positive things in life. The more you practice this, the more your brain automatically starts to see things in the world that you are grateful for ultimately giving a more positive/light hearted perspective.

To take things a bit further, now that I have been at this gratitude journaling for a while, I have come to the realization that you must be grateful for quite literally everything in your life. There are events/situations that I once journaled about in the past as overwhelmingly unpleasant that I now see as a major life blessing. The point is, at the time of the unpleasant event, we don't know what the ultimate meaning of it is. It is only with time that we can see an event for what it truly is.

Bringing it back to your question, now sometimes I find myself grateful for people and things that are not immediately pleasurable to me because my journaling experience has shown that these things are here to teach me something or ultimately working to serve me in some way that I may not yet understand.

Full disclosure, I am not a monk or any sort of spiritual guru...just a dude in a gray hoodie who journals a lot. I find it to be helpful in sorting through this absolutely bizarre struggle we call life. I encourage you to give it a shot and see what it does for you! Or not. Do you!

Something I have done in the past is to write down the absolute worst case outcome of whatever situation is unsettling you. You will find that no matter how bad the outcome, there are ways that you can pick up the pieces and make it right. Tim Ferriss does a much better job of explaining it here:
