Adult Sectionals in 3 Weeks

YIKES!!!

Yes that's right! - Adult Eastern Sectionals and the best thing about it is that its in Florida this year! Yahoo.  I am so excited, I've been dreaming for this opportunity for a long time and I have to say its almost here, 3 more weeks....Training really hard for this day and trying to stay focused, calm all together!!

I did however, had to skip one test session which would have put me in the Bronze level, but due to back injury my coach decided to just let me skate at the Pre-Bronze level which I am ok with.

Its getting close to the wire and there is so much to get done!! Have to get my free skate dress and my bollywood indian outfit stoned and any final touch ups - not to mention have to get on that ice and practice, practice.  I decided just to keep it simple and just competing in two events.  I am hoping for the best and  have a wonderful time!! As I mentioned in my previous blog post, I am going in it with "no expectations" just show the judges my skills and performance on the ice!!

No Expectations

When you have or planned expectations, you will have preconceived ideas of  how your future or goals should be.  When ever you have Expectations it will create *fear* because what you think what you want or desire may or may not happen.  With *No Expectations*  you have no fear and things will flow and will not be affected by the outcomes that you may encounter during the way.  

Every outcome can serve to move you towards a greater and realization of your goals and desires.  This is why it is always best to act on your intentions without expectations about how and when it comes to pass. The hard part of the no expectation is to detach yourself to the expectation.

When you set high expectations, whether its work, school or sport its very hard to accept the *fear*  or the not accomplishment of your desire or goal.  To live life with "No Expectations" is more of a release or non-commitment of your inner self is more peaceful and more rewarding in the long run.

Adult Eastern Sectionals, March 8th - 10th:
Level: Adult Pre-Bronze
Events: Free Skate and Dramatic/Interpretive:


I am competing next month AES and its my very first USFS competition and I have to say the stakes are high and the pressure on, however, I have prepared myself mentally and have *No Expectations* of the outcome and/or my performance.  Since I have NOT committed myself to a "Higher Expectation", I have a sense of peace and the no *fear*  of the outcome or my desire to succeed.  


Focus, Positive Mind-set and No Expectations leads to success!!
Happy Skating
