Conscious compensation
Compensating
For a weak spot
Along the chain
Is usually not good
Weak
Foot
Leg
Back
Making up for it
Higher up
Working around it
Somewhere else
And thus
Creating
New problems
In other places
However
If a lack
Physical, technical, mental
Can't be fixed
Maybe we can
Consciously compensate
Without that hurting us
Much
Even find a way
To overcompensate
And turn that weakness
Into a net strength?
Then remember
To go back later
To see
If we still need to compensate
Much?
Constructive complaining
Complaining is another thing
That happens naturally
So can that also
Be put to good use?
Complaining
Complaints
Is usually regarded
As negative
Feeling hampered
Treated unfairly
Not progressing
Off
There's obviously something
A trigger
Unhappiness
Behind this urge
A (perceived?)
Gap between
What is
What should be
So as we do here:
Can we use that energy
To learn
And improve?
Maybe complain
To and with AI first?
To skip to the constructive part
For the human interaction?
If we
Complain to ourselves
How to address the root cause?
Or let it go?
So that we can find
The next (best?) thing
To complain about
And fix that :)
Mistaken mistakes
How can mistakes help?
If one occurs
Certainly
Learn from it
Post mortem
Hopefully not literally
Etc
Conscious
"Mistakes"
Miss-takes?
Can inform us
Help us dial in
Where we want to go
To reduce
Mistakes
When it matters
What about then
A blanket
Mistake culture
Yay mistakes?
Nay please
No unnecessary harm
So ideally
We only make mistakes
Consciously
Add them
As everything else
To our toolkit
Sparks and fires
Prerequisite here
Is that a spark
Was there
Or found
For energy
The Fire
To always
Move us
Hitting a wall?
Take a break
Re-ignition happening?
Spark re-ignitable?
If not
Maybe find
Light
Another spark
At least
For a while?
To follow
A fire?
Developing vs results?
So
How to think
About developing
Vs producing results?
Might help
To think of
And work with
3 broad scenarios
1.
When it matters
Life or death
Impact on others
Something important happening
There
We automatically learn while doing
Should not be distracted by meta stuff
Focus on the job
And hopefully
Apply unconsciously
What we trained
Developed for
2.
If something is
Repetitive
Not (yet) automated
There's likely room?
To look for ways
To develop while doing
And decide:
Keep it repetitive?
Do it differently
Stand on one leg
Use the other hand
Or tool?
3.
In training
Reversely
We can think of
What to train for
What's the goal
The improvement
To then apply
On a job
That's (still) repetitive
And
Or
When it really matters
On the job training
Got a physical job?
Go to the gym afterwards?
Or feel too worn out, without getting fit(ter)?
Do physical issues creep up?
So why is that job not like training?
Strength?
Mobility?
Coordination?
How are those activities different from
Weight?
Yoga?
Tai-Chi?
Does it have to be?
How can we make
What we do
Learn there
Transferable?
To other areas
Of life
Sports
Make that time
Those activities
Work for us
Rather than wear us down?
Can we build something in?
In line with your goals?
Clean motions
With both sides, etc
And or create something
Completely different
A teaser?
A stimulus?
Obviously
Let's not forget
To do
The job :)
Ch-Ch-Changes
When we are changing something
Or something changes
These could be
1) Incremental
2) Step
3) Game
Changes
Incremental is like building up
Step by step
Slowly but surely
Kaizen
When we make a leap
Maybe a breakthrough
That's a step change
Leap change?!
When there's a radical shift
In what we do
What we produce
That's a game change
So what change are we aiming for?
Today?
This week?
This season?
Probably good
To have all these changes
In the mix
Over time
And also strive for
Incremental
And step changes
In different games?
No no limits
Limitless
No limits
Sky is the limit
Maybe the universe?
Wouldn't that be nice
Realistically
Seems there are plenty of limits
To what we can achieve
Especially as an athlete
And
We hit them
All the time
Time
Energy
Potential
External factors
Once
We've identified
The right ones
Correctly
The question is
How to deal with them
This is similar to
Bottlenecks
So maybe limits are tools
For resistance training
Or broader
Resistance management?
Can we move them?
Change?
Work around?
Compensate?
Anticipate future ones?
Lessen those?
Prevent?
Or better avoid?
So maybe the journey is about
Finding those limits
And finding ways
To deal with them
P.S.:
Again
When we keep hitting a wall
Feel stuck
We can always do
2nd chance for 1st impressions
Usually
For a certain skill
We can only be a beginner once
With unique first impressions
But for single-handed
One-hand dominant activities
If we choose to develop the other side
2nd chance for 1st impressions
Let's not miss (as much) this time
This last time
To capture learnings
Do it better
End up better
On both sides
Strictly thinking
Of course there'll be spillovers
From the 1st round
What we know, what's transferable
That
Will really help
With self
But for the most part
Most of us should feel
Like 1st timers
For a 2nd time
Who hasn't wished for
A 2nd chance
To make a
1st impression?
About "showing up"
Learning something new
Doing something new
Creative stuff
We hear about the value of
"Showing up"
Even on a bad day
Unless burned out
Needing a break
Or pivoting
I'd support that notion
Maybe something
Will still happen
There's value in more, regular,
Repetition
Thicker myelin
As we get going
Energy might indeed
Show up
Or finding plan B
Practicing to improvise
What else can we do, there & then?
There are signs though
When pushing through
Is counterproductive
Might get hurt
Injured
Take longer to recover
So yes let's show up
Give it a go
And also
Develop a sense
For when to abort
And do something else
That day
Conscious downtime?
Obviously optional
Acquire a taste
Speaking at a school
I asked the students
To point out 1 thing
They’re passionate about
Think ~80% said "soccer"
Well is that really it then?
Sure, good to find common ground
Something to enjoy together
But are we that similar, really?
Also
How is that helping down the road?
Making our personality?
What's our X-factor?
Maybe it's time
To acquire a taste
That could turn into
A real passion
Something that pulls
Us
And inspires others
Pursuit, Progression, Performance
We can still build out a broad base
Train for flexibility
Enjoy soccer
While finding "our thing"
Accpetings
Acceptance
Sounds positive
But is it really a
Double edged sword?
On the one hand
Acceptance might free us up
From one thing
Help pivot to others
But it's also closing doors
What about an ailment, now?
A loss, now?
A shortcoming, now?
Someone being "better", now?
Not being "good enough", now?
What are the implications of an "accepting"?
Consequences?
How is it helping?
What are the downsides
To accept what for how long?
Hence, acceptance should probably be
Consciously chosen
Questioned
Revisited
Maybe we put reasonable timers on our acceptings?
Triggers?
We change
Others change
Circumstances change
Progress happens
Doors open?
If we think through our acceptings
And strategy ideas pop up
For now, the meantime, and/or later
Maybe we put those too
On a parking lot?
Error check
When mirroring
We have an opportunity
To check for errors
On the strong side
At the same time
There's a risk
Of copying them
To the weak side
Examples may be
Lack of a unit turn
Suboptimal grip
Not a loose but crisp contact
So let's not copy the errors
And take the opportunity
To fix the source
As well ;)
