How taming a monkey can help your training.The monkey has you wrapped virtually his little comic loving finger! We often forget that the most powerful tool for resurgence we can use in training, and in our daily lives for that matter, is our mind. Yet there is very little taught in the dojo well-nigh how to squint without it. We are expected to victorious at the dojo without a long, stressful day at work and immediately switch our brains over to zen mode ready for training. Now I don’t know well-nigh you but I’m not a zen Buddhist that’s been sitting on a cocoon for eight hours a day since I was born so I have a little bit of trouble transplanting my mind. We might do a short meditation at the start of the matriculation but how constructive is this at transplanting the fog from the day? It’s not enough.The typical human has virtually 70 000 thoughts per day, that’s 48 thoughts PER MINUTE. How are we supposed to concentrate on anything with all of that noise in our mind. Let vacated be well-spoken unbearable to really listen to our Senseis when they are explaining the intricacies of Karate. What is the Monkey Mind?Whether we like it or not we all have the mind of a monkey, no matter how enlightened we feel, there is unchangingly a monkey in there pulling pulling for our attention. Unfortunately modern society is unconfined at feeding the money schizy to alimony it strong.Schizyin this specimen refer to social media, advertising, and the total lack of regard given keeping our minds clear. The “Monkey Mind’ is a Buddhist term meaning “unsettled, restless and uncontrollable”. The Buddah explains it in his own words by saying;  ‘Just as a monkey swinging through the trees grabs one workshop and lets it go only to seize another, so too, that which is tabbed thought, mind or consciousness arises and disappears continually both day and night.’You can think of the human mind like a tree full of branches. Each workshop is a thought, and your sustentation or consciousness is a monkey, swinging from workshop to workshop without stopping to pay tropical sustentation to any one. These branches of thought that we are constantly swinging on all day are often negative and unchangingly distracting. ‘How will I pay my bills this month’ or ‘Why is my superabound unchangingly picking on me?”Origins of the Monkey MindLet’s start with the Ego; the unvarying chattery companion in our throne telling us who we think we are based on the beliefs we have well-nigh ourselves.This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, if you don’t think you are going to win the next tournament you are at a serious disadvantage. Its when these thoughts get yonder from us that it becomes a problem. The Ego can wilt a perpetual internal monologue of self importance and self criticism, a mortiferous mix to self esteem and can make us depressed. With this internal unhealthy self talk filling our minds it’s scrutinizingly untellable to really concentrate on anything. Thoughts like “that was a terrible Kata, why am I so bad?” and “I have the perfect Mawashi Geri once I don’t need to try nonflexible in this drill”, get in the way of real learning and stop us from progressing. More on self talk in a future blog post!Our worthiness to switch between tasks has evolved for a good reason, we need to be worldly-wise to get things washed-up in our rented lives. But when the monkey gets yonder from us and starts swinging from workshop to workshop without our tenancy it becomes a problem. We need to think of the monkey as a worthier part of our Karate training and urgently work on it. Let’s put a troika on that Monkey Mind!What does the monkey do to our bodies.Have you overly had one of those days where you can’t seem to get out of your head?
