M4:D14 (D314) Upheaval

What's on my mind today?

[Post delayed due to technical difficulties.]

Today was a day that got me thinking about upheaval and how to handle it.  An upheaval is a strong or violent change.  In life it can take many forms.  How we handle upheaval determines many things about the course of our life.

I work in a field where there are emergencies all the time. Critical pieces of infrastructure fail at the most inopportune moments.  I have always been known as the person who remains calm and does not lose his cool when these things happen.  I handle the crisis calmly because I know my calm demeanor rubs off on the people around me, including my end users.

I handle most of the upheaval in my life the same way.  I am a thinker and I like to think about what is happening to me before I make a move.  Thus, when I am hit with a strong or violent change in my life, I step back and consider all the angles before proceeding.  This enables me to make a better decision that will ultimately bring about the best results for me and those I care about.  I do not generally go off in a direction that I have not carefully considered first.  I leave spontaneity to smaller things in life and for the bigger things I plan my way through them.

I handle my fitness regimen the same way.  If I am faced with an injury I figure out how to work the rest of my body while the injury heals.  I don't let that get in the way of my progress in other areas.  I carefully plan my attack and then execute it. 

There is no reason to let changes get in your way.  Think them through and you will come up with a way to make the change work for you.

Today I did a cardio session with intervals.  I raised my heart rate up to 145 bpm, held it there for 2 minutes and then allowed my hear rate to recover down to 105 bpm.  I did this continuously for 30 minutes.

Upheaval does not have to mean failure or derailment–it is all about how you handle it.
