There are many different reasons why people meditate. I am going to talk about three reasons among the many that people study this practice.

One of the three reasons why people meditate is to focus on something they are having problems with. During this time you are altering your mind to vibrate at a different frequency and view the concern from a fresh perspective. This brings answers to you that you would not have normally thought of in your regular state of mind. 

Another form of meditation is for manifesting and drawing the things you desire to come into your life. While doing this, you are focused on the breath and visualizing through your mind's eye that you already have what you want and getting full of the feeling. Everything vibrates at a certain frequency, even human beings. Albert Einstein said physical matter is not solid. If you look at your hand under a certain microscope, you will see your atoms moving around. Everything vibrates at a certain frequency and if you can t...

Where does confidence come from? It comes from knowing what you are doing and being able to express yourself with ease. Examples of this can be in your line of work, talking to a potential romantic partner, or defending yourself verbally and physically if a random stranger wanted to attack you. 

Lack of confidence comes from not being sure of your abilities to do something. Once you can do that thing well, like defend yourself from an attacker, it will increase your confidence in other things. However, you may have to work on the early stages of learning, because most people fear and run away from situations that make them feel inadequate. That is why being comfortable with being incompetent is so important. The beginning of learning a new thing will not feel good, because that is part of the process of learning. You are aware of all your shortcomings, either mentally or physically. That feeling will subside though because it is only there for the initial stage.

You may not know how ...

As I have been telling you, anger blinds. Will Smith was a staple for African Americans, due to all the success he had. But since Jada Smith put their personal business out there, he could never recover from that. Everyone was taking jabs at him and as you can see, he finally had enough of being punked and took it out on an easy target. 

It was so out of pocket the way Will Smith walked on that stage, it looked fake. From the way he hit Chris Rock, to the way he walked away was ridiculous. All the years of award shows, he was the first one in history that ever did something like that. And the last one that the world would ever suspect to do a thing like that too. Marrying the wrong person can bring down your career and life. If he did not go through the things that the Red Table Talk show put him through (his wife’s talk show), Will would have been able to control himself, because it would not have been an accumulation of hurt emotions. He looked okay with the joke Chris Rock said ini...

As a martial artist, being diligent in how you execute the techniques you are taught, can be a major benefit. As you aim for excellence during practice, if the real situation ever occurred, you will be accurate and efficient. It will also extend to other things in your life as well. However, most people try to get by in life and do their best to just coast through without putting in any real effort. What they do not know is that the situations in life which are ahead will make them eventually pay the price they have been trying to avoid. Life is designed to be tough for everyone, the more you lean into it and work hard, the more up-and-coming challenges will be easy for you. 

 The reason why is because you will be used to working hard for what you want and fighting through challenges. The lazy person will crumble and fail once an obstacle comes their way. Due to the lack of mental or physical preparation. So you do not have to be jealous of people who do not work hard and seem to get ...

A coach is imperative for you to have if you desire to be a high performer. Imagine being in a picture or in an activity like basketball. You cannot see everything that is going on in the game because you are in it, you only could see it from a small perspective. A coach has the ability to see the game from a larger perspective, because they see the whole picture from the sideline. While the player is only focused on himself and the opposing team in front of him. The coach sees the strengths and weaknesses of everyone on the court. I have multiple coaches that help me in every area of my life, because I am aware I do not know everything. Only poor people think they know everything, so they do not want to listen to other people for fear of looking weak or ignorant. 

What a coach does is shorten the distance between you and where you want to go in life. What this means is that there will be fewer errors that you will make on your journey towards your goals. The reason why is because you...

Fear is when you are afraid because you are not sure of your abilities to handle yourself in the situation you are in. So, you are frozen in place, because of your incompetence in the circumstance. 

Adrenaline is poured into your body when it reacts to a threat, stress, increased rates of blood circulation, and breathing. It is released from the adrenal gland which is above the kidneys. 

Adrenaline is in your body to help you fight or run. When you feel it, you may think it is fear gripping your body, so it may freeze you. Most people become the victim, because they lose control over their bodies during this time. You have to think, have my past experiences prepared me for this situation? Or am I ill-prepared? This can help you figure out what is really going on in your body, because most people cannot differentiate between the two. Either way, adrenaline is surging through your physical being. If you are afraid and you know you cannot handle yourself, run! Or you can be afraid and d...

Catching your adversary before they attack you, can be the difference between winning or losing, and life or death in some situations. There can be a number of signs that a person is about to attack. The likely hood of them attacking is higher if you see all of these signals.

The first sign a person is about to attack is when they put away what they have in their hands. It can be either their cell phone or keys. They are freeing up their hands to attack you.

Second, their eyes are looking around to see if people are paying attention to what is going on. When this happens, be aware something is about to happen soon. Or they may look away to feign disinterest, then they will throw a quick hook.

Third, they start adjusting their clothes and lowering their chin. This is to make sure there are no restrictions when they move and lowering their chin is to avoid being knocked out.

Fourth, their dominant side is forward. Of course, you will not know their dominant side, so any side that ...

Going from 0 to 100 at the beginning of a fight is a hard thing to do. If it is not naturally who you are, or you do not train for it, you are giving your adversary a chance to defeat you in that state of uncertainty. That is why when you train, your mind has to be focused and conditioned to go in and out of combat. You must have the mindset as if you are minding your own business, then suddenly, you have to spring into battle. Being in a relaxed, but ready state when you leave your house every day will help you. You must be aware of your surroundings, spot out possible threats, then be ready to attack viciously if your assumptions about that threat are correct. You should practice spontaneously shadow boxing around your house and really visualizing your opponent engaging with you. Of course, you will need to tap into your imagination to do this. The mind does not know the difference between real and pretend. Therefore, if you practice being attacked during your training, your mind wil...

We all love food, but the lack of discipline of what goes into our mouths can lead to a weaker body and a plethora of pills that you end up being prescribed by your doctor. Believe it or not, food is medicine. It can give you strength, endurance, aid your cells, boost your immunity, and support your nervous system. People who are conscious of this, stay away from the hospital because their body and mind are getting the fuel it needs to remain active. People who end up going to the doctor's office for matters like, not being able to focus, headaches, lack of energy, high blood pressure, clogged arteries, and body aches, usually are eating the wrong foods. Below, I will talk about some foods that can help you with certain issues that you may be going through or issues that may come up.

Oatmeal is a great source of energy. Before you workout or start your day, it is a great thing to eat, because it sustains your energy throughout the day and through the workout. It also combats stress, b...
