Stay Hungry.
There’s a certain level of drive when your stomach is growling, and you’re ready to eat whatever comes your way. It doesn’t matter how unhealthy it is or how bad it will taste—it’s getting eaten.
The drive to find the next meal becomes all-consuming. It steers your body to make decisions that achieve the goal of fueling both mind and body. It has total control.

I like to practice the hold then shoot. The way I do it is to find a TABATA timer app for your phone, or any timer that can time multiple a duration. With a Tabata, I draw and hold for the 20 secs, then release and reload/redraw in the 10 seconds. The hold becomes cumbersome. You lose your shot process because you're either at the aim portion or just before the aim portion. When it comes to the release you either have to restart the process or kick off where you left off. This year I may even incorporate longer holds to let my ADHD brain wander further only for the timer to go off, and set me back into reality. Much like hearing a crunch crunch, drawing, then having the animal held up behind the bush for 30 seconds, take one step out and present an opportunity that lasts a fleeting second. Maybe something to pair with the last light training? 🤔
