Calling out within

It was nearly a year and a half ago that I posted the ways in which I was planning to incorporate the different aspects of the archetypes that we discovered at the A Place Apart retreat into my own life.

I thought it appropriate to revisit some of those ways or goals especially of the Warrior since that feels most like the archetype that is calling out within me and given my recent experience at Tracker School.

- After going nearly 7 months without an active strength and cardiovascular workout (even though my work has kept me "somewhat" in shape) I joined a new fitness center and will continue my physical fitness and weight loss journey setting smaller goals at a time in order that I may reach my goal of losing about 100 pounds and maintaining a healthy physical lifestyle.
- I'm starting back on the Body for Life Program, which is one part working out, the other part eating balanced and portion controlled meals. This was reinforced by our diet at Tracker School and part of the reason I lost nearly 10 pounds that week!
- I don't spend the time that I used to before working full-time but I do get over to the local park across the street pretty frequently, especially now that I have a tracker eye as well as other opportunities to hone my wilderness survival skills.
- Living without fear and insecurity. Whether it be of what other people think of me or how the culture seeks to control me be keeping me afraid. I am practicing fearlessness. I am still doing this without fail!
- I am continuing to live out an active nonviolent lifestyle.
- I completed the Standard Course at Tracker School and I believe that I will be taking another class in the future.
- I really believe that my next step is to do my Vision Quest!
