SPOILERY-ISH (Man of Steel thoughts) Various thoughts. Some spoilery. Read at your own risk, blah blah blah. Wow, could there *be* any more Christ imagery in that movie?“ I’m 33. I will save all mankind, even, and most especially the ones who fear they can’t be saved. I hold the key to everything inside me. Yes, when…
(Over the next few posts, I will look at how to maintain focus while in competition or in other high-stress situations.) Today, let’s talk about breath. If I have to make a list on how to maintain focus while in the midst of competition, the first item on that list would be to breathe. Deep,…
