In Zombieland survival, like martial arts training, there’s a lot of work. It’s easy to forget the little things along the way that make the rest worthwhile.
Today’s Zombieland rule is all about rewarding all of that effort and hard work.
Zombieland Rule #32: Enjoy the Little Things
In Zombieland, all Tallahassee wants is a Twinkie. Just one damn Twinkie before they pass the expiration date and the last of the little vanilla cream cakes ceases to exist.
So what’s your Twinkie? Martial artists deal with push ups, running, stretching, skill training, sparring.
Work, work, work. But do you ever stop to appreciate what you’ve gained through training?
Some little things to consider:
- Benchmarks – Doing 20 or 50 reps of an exercise for the first time
- Your waist drops an inch, or your biceps get a little bigger
- You can stretch further than before
The benfits of training don’t always need to apply to martial arts either:
- You can run around with your kids
- You don’t cringe when they ask for a piggyback
- You look awesome in your summer gear
Training doesn’t always have to be ultra-serious, and it doesn’t need to always be about fighting, either.
What’s your twinkie?
