Downswing days

On a day like today it is important to keep perspective. It would appear on the surface by looking at the raw happenings of the morning that things have an negative bend to them.

Family issue's from last night that are states away that only I seem to be able to piece together solutions to....by pushing others to keep on caring and not saying the old "pray and walk away".

Professionally one of my directors once again getting physically upset that things are not stellar good news, just more business BS. Don't get me wrong I get it. It drives me crazy as well. I have some different reasons why it's driving me nuts in addition to the natural "we have good profitable product, and no one is buying" frustration.

Some people are already banking on my good fortune to help them (which is fine, I get that too) so every time nothing happens it is longer that people that are suffering needlessly in my mind are continuing to do so.

My health is going up and down, now I have some sort of serious un-diagnosed allergy that causes my tongue to swell up in my mouth while I am sleeping...joy. Yes, have been to a doctor, going to a specialist as soon as money allows. ER bills hurray!!

While I am writing this...no joke, collection agents super aggressive phone call on the phone that normally I don't pick up but picked it up because of the work I am doing now. When it rains it snows sometimes. Wow, got my heart rate up.

That's exactly the kind of thing I am talking about, that guy on the phone I could have just hung up on. Didn't have to engage, for some reason I engaged and he got me to get into an argument. Not the right move on my part, but I let my downswing effect keeping my eye on the ball(prize).

When I started this post, I had a positive buzz and was determined to move through the negative energy that was being spewed about at the creative breakfast I had this morning. Not all the directors, mostly circumstances that didn't equal result all around the table making for a bad vibe. People in the restaurant even where grumpy.

The point is!!!!

In baseball you don't connect with the ball on the downswing, so there is 'zero' chance to hit the ball at that point, so naturally your only focus should be at the most likely point to contact the ball to make some sort of hit, if your going to hit it at all.

Your downswing can effect where you swing, so where your connect and your likely hood to get a hit/homer. So it's important, if you start your downswing thinking your gonna wiff it, %99.9999 of the time you will. No matter how it feels you can't judge the swing as the batter until that bat is over the opposite shoulder, hit, homer or strike. The mentality before the upswing has gotta stay positive. Statistically your just more likely to connect!!
