War Games Holidays! 2020

   

 

Introduction 

So on the First Sunday of December 2020 there was a big Pay-Per View Called NXT Takeover War Games and the Show was a phenomenon with 2 matches that did involve the War Games Stipulation match. The War Games start with 2 wrestlers representing their teams of 5 as they fight in 2 wrestling rings surrounded by a steel cage.  Whoever won their match that has an early advantage as in each wrestler comes in one at a time and the team with the advantage they go first and when all 5 participants from each team are in the match the War Games can finally begin and then the match can finally be decided by pin-fall or submission. So it has been one of the most major matches of the NXT Pay Per View Event. War Games has had so much aggressive displays and relentlessness that shows stamina and even perseverance and have relentlessness and there are winners and losers but effort in a match like this always prevails. 

What are the War Games We face within Our Selves

Well I would say 2020 especially heading to Covid-19 Pandemic was a challenge for myself where I was working on a ton of growth and focus on myself Like I mentioned in my previous blog, continuing to work on me and not worry about or be affected by others say. Well The Pandemic has been as a given the most toughest events and man the fact that things were not operating like they usually have in the last 30 years I have been living. Seeing how everything began with over shopping just by the Fact that there was a potential Lock-down shows were getting cut short and even Sports events were cut down and there were loads of rumors and speculations of when everything was going to be back to normal to if The NBA and NHL Season was going to be canceled or even if the season was going to be resumed. Also there were moments where we had to rely on Social Media and even Zoom Became one of the biggest main sources to have meetings and even Facebook Live and YouTube became the Main sources or Church services and other shows like Award Shows well Award Shows are aired from the hosts house and couch even talk shows. Racial battle has happened and the Election and Presidency has been a huge ploy in that exact year. So much has happened and even when the Covid Lock Down has settled a little bit and on top of that as step by step phase has indeed faced several ups and downs and even there were cutbacks that has began. The whole roller coaster of the Covid situations where there was good and bad was a battle especially during the Summer where the stats well based on the numbers were insane whether good or bad. Then The Fall and Winter Came and there has been a battle of the Holidays where Thanksgiving was here and with Christmas and New Years where we have to stay home and celebrate with house members or even Via Internet well it is going to be something well personally for me I have never experienced for 30 years. Something I will explain is how have we been battling isolation and even the Impact of celebrating the Holidays very differently. 

 

 

Why Did I title this Blog War Games Holidays? 

So I have been hearing a lot about how mental health has been a huge deal during this time of the Pandemic on how we can not celebrate like the Usual especially where we have tons of gatherings under normal circumstances and this is where I feel for those who live by themselves because it a lot more different than living with just people period. It sure is different than living with people whether it is with family, roommates or even a Spouse and kids it is really different but can be as frustrating staying in the same scenery. The Holidays has been feeling like at a strong degree the world has been in this together as in the term defeating the virus and staying in the positive believing this can and will be over but not get too stressed out about it and just staying grounded and not getting too worked up about it.  As I live with family but with the same family and not to go out and Celebrate the holidays like usual but In the house I live in I am kinda glad to have a space where I can liberate but for me I find some thing I enjoy watching during the holidays like NBA Basketball on Christmas or even Football on Thanksgiving so I find some things I do enjoy and on top of that I see the best of both worlds having people to live with and having a space of some sort where I have my space. So the War Games of living by yourself can feel like oh I am alone and you have to adapt to things out of the norm where you can not celebrate the holidays like normal, and you have to celebrate maybe virtually through social media or even with a small amount of people where you have to make sure you do not have any sicknesses so the battle is wanting to celebrate the holidays but making sure everyone is healthy and making sure you have those Mental Liberties as well. So Hope The battle of even grief or even emotions or even just fighting the pros and cons of the Situations Is A Strong War Games and Hope on the Happy Holidays you Battle these War Games and stay grounded so you can prevail through the many Challenges! 

Don't follow "Them" Lead yourself!

What The Video Explains? 

The Video Starts with basically "They Say"  and Russell Westbrook does basically unusual antics, basically telling what people say and not even what people do. I felt in all honestly it was a very funny commercial but I felt it really also had a very strong message behind some ordinary Joe Commercial that viewers would think it is. I honestly am a huge fan of the drink Mountain Dew. Love the taste and even have been drinking since I was a child. Seeing all the Mountain Dew commercial this was one of the best ones I have seen with the entertainment and even the message behind it.

How was the experience when I was doing "They"? 

The Experience was really tough just going through it and getting out of it. I can look back on a lot especially at a point where I faced criticism because of what I did, and on my end all I did was run from my issues instead of deal with the situation and face the issue. I was sitting on my hands and counting on people and counting on change to happen and I was overly frustrated because all I did was point the finger at others instead of pointing the finger to myself especially if some of the effects were to happen by my very own actions. Laying the blame or even just let their criticism and what they do and how they feel control me and it can go beyond family which was the main criticism I faced it was also criticism from friends and even how successful they were in their certain fields whether it was having a car or having a job. There were so much events I have faced that led me to struggling with being myself  and thinking I have to be "Rude" First, and oh how people in Boston have Terrible Attitudes quote, unquote where really it is how I have been interacting with strangers that have led me to bad situations. Not to go on a tangent or anything. But I was looking at others and how I could be like them instead of working on how to be my best self. There was a point where I was in a guilt trip and feeling sorry on how I let "Everyone" down and had to withstood some harsh criticism eventually to a point where I got defensive and even frustrated as well and man I know how it feels to go from those transitions and even have mixed feelings. Basically I remember the positions of how it feels to even go through the Motions and just wait on people without taking any initiative and focusing on them and you wait then your effort will be wasted and your attitude will not be at the level you want it to be instead your attitude is where you want it to be for yourself instead it is for others also the Perseverance or Purpose would not be for your health and benefit for yourself but for the health and benefit for others. That was something I went through and looking back at it it was worth going through at a young age because I really began understanding it. 

The challenge is aiming to Focus on Me And being my best self

Focusing on ME was a challenge because when you had to change what has been giving you tons of unnecessary barriers and Much of the time we end up focusing on the person and the circumstance instead of focusing on what cost it. I think what really cause me to lose sight on the cause and effect. Cause and effect is another way to dealing with yourself and really aim at the principal cause if you do not deal with that then you let other people as in THEY and Circumstance control and dictate who you are. When I moved in the new house I live in right now I was overcoming my social problems that cause my family residence a near eviction because of my interaction with a woman and her dog. Well really seems like everything was over and we were about to get evicted but that did not happen we eventually moved into a new house and this was the year where Russell Westbrook was on the road to setting a record of games with a triple double and on top of that he reached it after making a buzzer beater shot to seal the 42 Triple Doubles. So at the time there were a lot of things I had to deal with but seeing Russell Westbrook's resiliency and willing to give his energy day by day was one of the best innovation I saw especially after losing his teammate Kevin Durant. I was battling my issues and focusing on what they said and their criticism and trying to prove them wrong, and running from it. I was at a point where I kept getting consequences and proving them right because of my own actions after the series of Dejavu. I finally learned I had to prove myself and want to aim to do better and not look at how they see the situation instead focus on me and focus on the problem and have thick skin to deal with those issues and begin understanding the who, what, where, and why to better myself  and not focus on them really just reaching to be my BEST SELF and not let fear, or any setbacks or past history become the Status Quo. 

Working Hard to the Core!

Introduction

So This past Thanksgiving Weekend was anything but easy for many others but for myself it was really worth getting through. I enjoyed my Thanksgiving and it gave me a chance to reflect on all the Thanksgiving events I have experienced in the last 30 Years and man this was a lot of reflection and a lot of events to look back on. So as this years Thanksgiving was the most different as most of everyone had to stay home with the people they already live or have small get together dinners or chat via Zoom and have the large gathers virtually. So As Thanksgiving have good football games with pull away finishes. Seeing how the holiday and even Black Friday became something different especially where the holiday promotion were radically different. So I had quite a Thanksgiving Weekend and even a good Black Friday as well. 

My New Black Friday Equipment

Well Just New Exercise Equipment thanks to a product promoter and even the consistent workout posts that I have been making. Man who would have thought in almost in the last 8 Months of my workout progress pandemic I would be producing tons of acknowledgement and even an Impact of some sort. Apparently Those Last 9 months which seems like we are already heading to now, has been a wild ride of so many ups and downs as there were points I have regressed and even points where I have progressed it has been a journey but the fact I have continued to be consistent in my exercise was a challenge. But there were days I wanted to be lazy and just sleep in but I know somewhere inside I had to use the self motivation that I did not had when I was younger. Now I do want to do better but there were times where I would catch myself just spinning my wheels like I have experienced before where I tell myself I want to do better and I am trying but I am not showing myself I am just telling myself and I am at a point where I want to show myself.  So the fact that I was consistently exercising that got me operating a new equipment. It was in all honesty a big challenge on the first day.

How did it felt using the new equipment?

Well on the times I have been using the Perfect Push-up I have Also Use the Core Fitness Equipment. The first time I used it it was a bit tough really because operating alongside after using the Perfect Push-up I had to make Sure I was using it right which indeed was not too hard but really positing my self was the tough part but glad I finally got through that. I had a different ab roller and it was quite a new twist it has been a while since I have done ab workout and I wanted to take another step into trying something new. So Indeed I did but I had to learn how to use it the right way and on top of that I had to make sure I was getting the work and the effects as well. Eventually Soon I was using the new Core Fitness Pro Ab roller and I was as getting commented need to get those extensions in the right way and go all in and get the motivation and innovation to use and low and behold I began feeling soreness and even some sort of development. So the soreness I did felt but I did surprising came ready for the next day and felt energy instead of Laziness in which indeed I was glad. So I even got new Push-up Bars alongside that and it has been a new challenge. I always have to have the urge to do run of the mill workout with weights like Bench pressing or even hang cleans is just one of them. So the fact that I have been exercising at home and even been consistent, it showed how much hard work produces high reward.
