    Fall is here!! That means the holiday times are almost here. It is a busy, joyful, and beautiful time of the season.
    From Thanksgiving to Christmas and Hanukkah throughout the new year. It is a time for rest and rejuvenation and time to spend with family and friends. Most importantly it is a time to be thankful, but why wait to be Thankful and have an "Attitude of Gratitude"

    "It is important for people to know that you appreciate what they did for you, but it's more important that you learn how to express appreciation."

    OVERCOMING G-A-S ................

    G-A-S = General Adaptation Syndrome

    Originally described by Hans De Solye in the 1920s, the general adaptation syndrome describes a three stage reaction to stress. Stressors in humans include a wide range of strong external stimuli, both physiological and psychological, which can cause a physiological response.
    Physical stressors, such as starvation, being hit by a car, suffering through severe weather, or even the self imposed physical stress of your personal workout sessions. Additionally, humans can suffer emotional or mental stress, such as the loss of a loved one, the inability to solve a problem, or even having a difficult day at work.

    How does it relate to your fitness and martial arts training?
