Sergnamic
Common vernacular. I’ve been having moments. I’ve been listening to myself…you know that self that sits higher than the other selves of SERG, and I’ve had what I would call thoughtful mind shifts the it comes to some of my goals, my visions.
The goal is for the “term SERG” to enter common vernacular.
The acronym is SERG, and my thoughts are simply put..If I use this principal to delve into my relationships with sports performance as an athlete, teacher, coach, administrator, parent, civilian - you name it…I am surely giving myself and others the best opportunity for success.
Strength - We’re going to look at Strength as the number one priority behind this overarching principal of Sergifying everything. My beliefs are that an able bodied individual has a responsibility to prioritize some sort of strength training just to reach baseline. Surely, you can exceed that, and there are those who could never in a million years imagine prioritizing some sort of exercise- but the facts are this. Our able human bodies respond positively to synchronized episodes of outside physical stress for improvements sake. We are to view exercise the same way we view maintenance, and upkeep for some of our most prized possessions and relationships. If we are not prioritizing exercise/movement in a way that we can be proud of than we should be considered the outlier and be looking for ways or even individuals that can help point us in the right direction. At the core if we are considering what it means to be a responsible and able human-being for ourselves and those around us- exercise should have a place at the table.
Brushing teeth, changing car oil, oiling bike chains, and teacing valuable lessons to our children aren’t always at the top of the list either when it comes to what I would consider fun - but nonetheless those things are essential and need to happen in order to cultivate those materials and young people (children). I am concerned by the number of folks I see making excuses and hiding behind ailments and appointments those giving themselves permission to no prioritize themselves and it has to change. 1 day, even if just one day….it has to be on the schedule.
Energy is of ultra importance, I am no philosopher or anything but I am certain that negative and positive energy impact our daily lives in good and not so good ways, we have to pay attention to the energy we are allowing around us and be especially rigid with how we use our energy in ways to produce positive results for ourselves and provide a helping hand for others
Resilience- we have to know that shit can go south…things are going to go wrong, and no- that doesn’t make me a pesimist but more of a realist. What am I to do when I get cutoff in traffic, and I am already late for an appointment? What am I to do when I had a workout scheduled, but I’ve fallen ill and don’t quite think I can make it through what I had planned? What if I just do not feel like it today? Or my attitude isn’t in a great place? How am I to be resilient and pre-empt these negatives while creating priority around doing a “version” of what I intended regardless of the circumstances that have come up.
Gratitude - Simply put, be grateful- even for the not so great things that may have happened or will happen down the line, the facts are this. We didn’t have to experience anything, but yet we get to enjoy all of this. Be it good or bad, their are certainly folks out there snapshot right now that are not as fortunate so be grateful.
