In oneself lies the whole world and if you know how to look and learn, the door is there and the key is in your hand. Nobody on earth can give you either the key or the door to open, except yourself. Jiddu Krishnamurti

A reflection is exactly that – looking at oneself (in the mirror) and observing and contemplating the same.

Four kids – three of them have designed their day for training themselves to become professional footballers, they have been working on for the last two years now, Due to lockdown they all are restricted to no coaching and designing their own day. The fourth child is a filmmaker, decided to work deliberately on film making, and designed her day around filmmaking during this lockdown.

Every alternate day we PAUSE and REFLECT in the night – here are various ways we reflected

They began with making their own schedule – and each week after the reflection, they would decide if they wanted to change their schedule or not. For some, the schedule remained the same, but for some, it changed, while for some it was a marginal change – whatever was it, it was THEIR schedule – Decided by them, experienced and also reviewed by them.

When we asked

  • Review – What all is happening, what all is not happening?

  • Reflect – How all are different things happening and how else you would like them to happen?

  • Explore – what more can you do differently to support you to reach out to your dreams?

THEY REFLECTED

What all is there on my plan I follow it but only the balance training I haven’t worked on much.

Most of my plan consists of my own understanding of how each routine will help me and my own structure. When I need help and review for my plan I seek for it.

Ask for suggestions, advice and feedback from my peers instead of waiting for them to tell me. Focus more on visualization and being in the moment. Discussing my practice plan with peers and mentors.

Based on my involvement in various activities for Aarohi, I need some changes in my day planning – need changes in my commitment to cooking. Instead of breakfast, I would like to cook dinner. And work in the morning slot.
Things that are happening: Breakfast, Clean up, Coding, Art, Blogs, Articles, Lunch, Chill, Wake up, Get ready, Fitness, Music, Snacks, Sport, Bath, Dinner, Reflection/community time.
Things that are not really happening: Campus care: Kinda, not fully doing refills, Filmmaking: Kinda, mostly watching movies but intentionally, Watch a movie or series: Not doing, felt sleepy so slept around 10, 11:00 pm Sleep: Sleep time-shifted to around 10 pm
As a next step, I want to reach out to people so I can get hands-on exposure of making films/videos and I can start working towards it. Doing things like finding out people I can connect to, work on my portfolio, etc. I also want to start doing some actual shooting, editing and directing in a smaller scale.
How I’d like some things to happen: -For Campus Care I’d like a bring clarity of scope of work for me so I can do the work better. -I think that I’m mixing up the 10:30 – 1:30 pm slot, art, coding and film blogs. I’d like to keep the things that I’m doing related to each other. -For Filmmaking, I’d like to divide it into four sections: portfolio building, watching movies, research / exposure and doing.-Don’t think that I want to be doing Music in the middle of the day so I’ll be shifting it to the night time.

WE ASKED, “Do you know that you already have discipline INSIDE you!” Today we reflect and discover the discipline inside us. Let’s ponder

What all is the discipline for you?

What all is not disciplined?

Where all you think you are not disciplined?

WE ASKED – What from the day/week you would like to REMOVE or ADD? Task, Habit, Emotion, Belief, Style, Image, Thought, Action etc

I want to add – washing socks for anyonE, Habit add – Greet in the morninG, Emotion remove – Guilt, Belief change – I cannot run in sports or Tabata is tough and I cannot think about an idea in completion, Style add – Type with both hands, Image change – I am always punctual, Thought change – I can support people in need, Action add – Observe and spend time with nature around me, Peer – You can change your image of mobile usage.

Habit: listening to music while working on something(I’m generally more focused if I don’t listen to music), Emotion: being dissatisfied, Belief: there needs to be outputs for me to know I’ve actually benefited from something, Image: Silence or nothingness can’t really be pretty or beautiful(in the sense of a scene, dialogue, event, etc) and Thought: I can’t do much by myself.
What I want gone from my week: evening practice to conditioning and balance.

Biting my nails would be the habit I want to remove. Emotion, frustration when something goes wrong. Belief that what I am doing is enough. Style, pulling my shorts up should probably stop now. Image, no one knows how to play. Thought, am I capable of accomplishing this? I want to think positive so that I get positive outcomes. Action, I would love to remove the action of staying quite during a discussion.

I would like to add practice in the evening. I want to remove the habit of Checking the phone for messages. I want to remove satisfaction and be more dissatisfied. I want to remove my belief of the week getting over fast. I want to add the style of doing warm up before practice. I want to remove the image of having done enough practice.

WE ASKED – WHERE IS YOUR DELTA?
My Delta from the past month: A huge change would be my sugar consumption before I used to have born vita and lots of junk food and coffee often, now my only sugar consumption is coffee once a week and Marie biscuits. Now I don’t feel lazy to get up and go to train in the morning, I’m waking up fresh. My entertainment has now reduced from 1 hour or more to around 30 minutes in the night. My sleep plan is better. I’m going to sleep by around 10:10 pm. I can see changes in my dribbling. I’m able to move and change direction with more control over the ball and I can observe what the opponent is doing. I’m able to stick to my schedule now and I’ve adapted and started enjoying everything from the day (big improvement). For fitness I’m able to put more strain and effort on my body, I’m doing more challenging workouts to improve myself (Think I look bigger).these are what all I can think of now.

Reflection (one month ago and now)

Using camera

Past: Still figuring it out, playing around with a lot of controls and experimenting with different formats and resolutions.

Present: Have a basic understanding of the controls, experimenting to get different moods and feel and deciding on a resolution and format to best suit my purpose.

Editing software

Past: Comfortable with all the basic controls and workspaces, keen on working for hours on something and discovering other effects that I won’t commonly use.

Present: Using more shortcuts and still finding out more, using it for smaller tasks(more comfortable with it and in general, I use it more often.

Script writing

Past: Reading a book and doing exercises and coming up with absurd ideas and things I’ve not thought about before.

Present: Reading articles, reading other scripts, trying out different software and watching analysing videos.

Watching movies

Past: Watching around 1-2 a week, researching about the director, identifying similar directors and films and a little about the story of the film.

Present: Watching around 6-7 a week, 1 movie of a different culture, writing reviews seriously, watching movies in the similar genre / style to understand it(example
identify a director’s film if I’ve watched any of his/her films).

Sleep

Past: Designing my time schedule according to what I want(mostly wish) to do and changing my sleep timings.

Present: More flexible and design it based on what I feel and want to do.

Chill / Rest

Past: Not really assigning time for that and usually considering chit chat / social media as chilling time.

Present: Putting extra chilling time and doing whatever I want then.

My Delta – Pinging: compared to how I used to do it a month back to now. I had a small understanding of the technique and I was more focused on getting the ball to my partner’s feet how ever I could not really following a certain technique. Now I have an understanding of why I need to follow the certain technique and I’ve broken the technique into smaller steps and focusing on achieving it step by step.

Workout: comparing now and then, I had made the plan focusing more on the intensity rather than the muscle groups which was more important. So instead of just having one set of full intensity I broke it down into more set and balanced the reps and diffrent workouts each day working on different muscle groups.

Agility and endurance training: I started with last week waking up everyday at 5:30 and working on my stamina which I didn’t do much before and it was also something I was lacking in.

Structured plan: I started making my plan more detailed rather than making a rough plan and deciding what to do when the time arrives. Honestly much better this way.

WE SELF ASSESSED – WHERE AM I MOVING TOWARDS?

Shooting And Editing Morning Practice: Get comfortable and make using the camera and editing software like an everyday thing.

Portfolio: Documenting the things that I’m doing and create something like a resume that I can present to other people that I want to work for / with.

Watching Movies: Get exposed to the different ideas, genres, types of movies, camera, direction, styles, etc.

Analysis: Identify, observe and learn the different camera techniques that other filmmakers have used.

Watching Analysis Videos: Similar to doing analysis and also getting different aspects that I can look for when I analyze.

Football: I am moving towards my technical abilities improving and becoming better than my teammates.

Fitness: I am moving towards a lean and agile body capable of using my speed and strength during a game (maybe the looks as well).

Sketching: I am moving towards sketches with lots of details and clarity.

Match analysis: I am moving towards a pro level understanding on how I should make my movements on the pitch.

Reading/reflection: moving towards understanding how I am doing things and how to improve them, find out new techniques to make my practice and tasks more useful.

Eating: I am moving towards 10 percent body fat, reducing sugar intake and increasing vegetables and healthy food.

Sleeping: moving towards refreshment, freshness and energized body.

Practice: I am moving towards understanding and progression

Fitness: I am moving towards pain and limits

Planning: I am moving towards discipline and structure

Social: I am moving towards entertaining

Community: I am moving towards selflessness

Self: I am moving towards understanding and appreciating

Reading: I am moving towards applying

I’m satisfied of with this week, I was able to complete whatever I wanted with the plan I made and I stuck to the plan so I’ve achieved my goals. Reflection / changes: I’d like to change the thing I’m going to focus on but otherwise the plan is pretty much the same. (Last week I was focusing on Portfolio)

6:30 – 10:30 am | Wake up, get ready, fitness, shooting, coding, campus care, breakfast, clean up

10:30 – 1:30 pm | Editing

1:30 – 2:00 pm | Lunch + chill

2:00 – 3:00 pm | Filmmaking

3:00 – 4:00 pm | Portfolio

4:00 – 5:00 pm | Painting

5:00 – 8:30 pm | Reading, snacks, sports, bath, dinner

8:30 – 9:30 pm | Reflection / community time

9:30 – 10:00 pm | Social media, singing, call someone

10:00 pm sleep

Main thing I’m gonna focus on: Editing + Portfolio

Fitness: Following the strengthening plan I made + a few flexibility exercises.

Shooting: Every alternate day, shooting the morning practice. I’m getting used to using the camera and it’s settings(zoom, focus, ISO, etc)

Coding: Working on the story mode game.

Editing: The footballers video, trying some things to make the video more interesting(split screen, slo-mo, etc)

Filmmaking: Read blogs, articles, watch movies and analysis.

Portfolio: Collect and document all the things that I’v done until now and I’m doing.

Painting: Learning and practicing painting portraits with water colors.

Singing: Practicing some exercises and song then recording and sending them to my brother. He listens to it and tells me the corrections.

I was able to follow everything except match analysis and balance training. The match analysis I wasn’t satisfied with the way I was analysing it so I was looking at the videos of others match analysis and and taking notes on how I can analyse as well. Balance training I didn’t do it simply because I was lazy.

The changes I want

I will take help of a peer to keep me accountable for the balance training. Overall I would like to follow the same plan.

The routine is going very great for me, however there are some days during the day I don’t feel like working at all and spend time on my phone/sleeping. At this moment I am giving myself that space to do that. To listen to my body and mind and waste time/do nothing productive whenever I feel like. I observe it like a wave, some days are up and some days are down. I am really enjoying otherwise everything, i like that my morning and evening routines happen with effectiveness and discipline. feeling nice to be part of community times and happy with the way my days are being spent.

Happy to hear if any of you have any feedback for me.

POSSIBLE QUESTIONS

  • What SKILLS you doubt which makes you fear about your future.

  • What picture comes in your mind, that you will not able to do in the FUTURE?

  • What am I scared of when I am doing something related to my INTEREST

  • What are the different skills that I already have which help me to deal with my fear?

  • What helps me to OVERCOME my fear?

  • What can I do when I am in a state of fear?

  • When I’m not sure if I have enough expertise in whatever I’m doing, I fear that I’ll not be able to stand out and make really good films which people like.

  • Me hesitating to interacting with people will become an obstacle later on when I have to work in a group.

  • Making a video / film that is very regular and not innovative is stopping me from making videos / films sometimes.

  • Thinking out of the box, putting together things I’ve liked from different films and taking inspiration from my other interest might help me stand out. Thinking of a stranger as person that I’ll be working with or potential friends in the future will encourage me to interact and start conversations. Also not thinking about the impression that I make on the other person will help. For making innovative videos / films, the more that I make, the better I get. That will motivate me to take risks and do more.

  • What helps me overcome my fear is thinking about the positive outcomes from whatever I’m doing and figuring out many ways to reach there.

  • When I’m in the state of fear, I can think positively, think about the positive outcomes that I’ve thought about before and keep looking for different ways that I can solve the problem with the skill I already have.

1. My communication is too happy go lucky, soft and not firm.

2. Me out of breath trying to control the ball.

3. I am scared that I won’t improve.

4. The techniques I practice everyday.

5. Practicing and improving what I already know so that I can see the improvements.

6. Remembering and using the abilities I already know.

The skill I doubt is patience to learn/get a hang of something.

2. Move on to a different level of football.

3. I’m scared of not improving and staying where I currently am.

4. The skill to plan and do Delabrate practice.

5. Knowing that step by step I will improve.

6. Overcome it and woke towards it.

RECOGNITION

What appreciation do you wish to give to others?

How do you get your appreciation?

If you are not getting it, do you ask for it?

Whom do you want recognition from?

Which appreciation do you like to receive from others?

Whose comments are worth rejecting?

Which appreciation do you wish to give yourself?

I appreciate the work that they do even if it is not for me. Like when someone cooks good or someone helps in making something better.

Verbally, small actions of help, encouragement and motivation.

If I am not getting it do I ask? No I’m not really eager to get it.

I would like to be recognized by my coaches and teammates on how I play (I need to improve first obviously)

Haters and people who don’t believe I can make it as a player.

I give appreciation for thier interest and involvement.

I get appreciation through recognition, rivalry and peace.

If I’m not getting it I don’t ask for it. It just means I haven’t done enough to be appreciated for.

From those who supported me through my journey and also those who would never believe that what I’m doing would be possible.

No one’s. Just enjoy the looks on their faces later.

I get my appreciation when someone notices and sees something I’ve done and they communicate it. I don’t know if I really seek or expect to be appreciated, appreciation encourages me and pumps me up but I don’t really ask for appreciation. Recognition anyone makes a difference, film critics / people who know stuff about film might be able to give deep and technical insights, general audience will tell me what a general person watching my film is thinking, some things that a person that hates my film says will make sense so I can filter out the things I can improve on. I think what I want the most is people to feel something and connect to the film I’ve made, I see that as appreciation and recognition. I don’t think that anyone’s comment is worth rejecting. I just need to make sure that I don’t get emotionally affected by it and take it as feedback that will give me insight on what to improve.

To summarize: I didn’t really follow the time wise planning strictly, I did more of something some days and spent lesser time on the others. But I’ve achieved the targets that I had set, mostly. Changes: Redefine the things that I want to focus on and set little more detailed goals.

Last week review: there were few things last week that made my plan go haywire. Like at around 3 to 4 there were lot of sessions and the wifi wasn’t available so I need to keep a plan B ready and also I was involved in a lot of sessions. I also realized that my upper body needs more strength and also I need to improve my balance.

Changes: I want to practice with the group only for an hour and finish the rest with agility drills.

MY RATING
Gratitude: 4/10 sometimes I’m not grateful for how much I’ve done, I get frustrated from the one wrong one I do.

Humor: 3/10 because I only laugh when someone screws up or gets nutmeged.

Innovative: 6/10 I’m sticking to the same skills and moves, I’m not able to do new things. I also don’t get any creative and fun drills.

Just: 7/10 sometimes I don’t give my 100 percent in a drill and it doesn’t help me at all. I also bend the rules of a drill so that I can get the upper hand.

Kind: 2/10 the only time I would be kind is when I give the ball to someone.

Listening: 7/10 I’m able to understand the all the drills properly. When someone gives feedback I usually hesitate before considering and taking it seriously.

Mindful: 6/10 I am not being mindful when I do drills, I don’t focus on the the small details that I am supposed to work on.

Gratitude: 5

Because Im not being grateful for every rep I do.

Humour: 10

Because Im always doing it. (But nobody gets me, or its that bad.)

Innovative: 8

Because I think about what I do (next level stuff) before I do it especially at 1v1.

Just: 5

Because I think I play fair but I don’t think others think the same.

Kind: 7

Because sometimes I might be rude without knowing.

Listening: 7

Because I listen to feedbacks and instructions but sometimes it’s such a drag.

Mindful: 5

Because im not trying to connect with my peers.

Gratitude: 8 (cause I can use films like an art form to express and convey stuff)

Humor: 1 (I rarely use because I have no idea how to make jokes)

Innovative: 9 (I’m always trying to do something new)

Just: 7 (I’m trying to be just to the film medium and I keep getting better as I make more films)

Kind: 5 (Sometimes I’m kind otherwise I keeping telling myself that whatever I’m doing isn’t enough. But I think that’s good, in a way because I pressure myself to keep improving.)

Listening: 7 (listen to what other people are talking about in the film industries and even while working with other people)

Mindful: 8 (I’m mindful about the details and different aspects when I make films, the angles, composition, cuts, audio, etc)

WE ASKED

What all are you doing at your comfort level?

WHat all are you doing at challenge level (growing, adding new elements)

What all are at frustrating zone ( not able to achieve, struggling, difficult, etc)

Based on the above see If you need any changes in your planning/scheduling pattern

Share your revised or same schedule here with a bit of description of “this is Com, Cha or Frus because….

What all is in my comfort zone: campus care, I’m able to finish all my work and do some value addition or extra cleaning. Self reading is just casual not focused on things that works like help me (don’t know if I want to change that).

What all am I doing in my challenge zone: my practice I think I’m improving a lot in my self practice by getting new drills to challenge myself or applying challenges. My fitness is also the same whenever one workout is getting easy I add more weight or change the excersise completely.

Guitar as I just started my fingers are not used to moving quickly. Sketching, I started drawing faces which Is really hard but fun at the same time, I’m learning about the proportions and shading with each drawing.

What all is in my frustration zone: I’m exactly struggling but it is really hard to wash my clothes frequently (don’t need help). Match analysis, I am not able to find new thing in the games, I need to look and observe closer.

Comfort level: group practice, resting.

Challenging level: planning group practice, campus care, making my workout hard, individual practice.

Frustration level: waking up, running, 2nd individual practice, balance training, praying, connecting for feedback and suggestions.

Scriptwriting | Challenging Zone: I’ve set a pretty tight time limit to complete the script and set targets that include things that make me go to deeper depths and plan the film like I’ve not done before. I’m making the short film in the genre that I’ve not done before.

Watching movies | Challenging Zone: Right now, I’m watching genres that I don’t generally watch and starting to develop the habit of write reviews. It helps me analyze the movie in a broader sense as well as rate movies which I think I’m not really good at.

Rest of the stuff like coding, painting, fitness, dancing, portfolio, reading, etc: Comfort zone. I’m doing them cause I like to and not necessarily get better and I’ve not really set specific targets.

WE REVIEWED OUR STRENGTHS

  • What strengths am I using to do any task – take 5-6 tasks and describe how are you using your strengths?

  • How are you learning – take up any part of your interest development and describe how are you learning about that?

  • How do you solve your problems? When you are stuck how do you look at the situation? How do you move ahead? Describe

  • What are some of the new discoveries in the last few weeks you made for your learning or skills or development of the interests? Describe them

Strengths: Perseverance and Drive, I am using perseverance by not giving up when something doesn’t go my way, I am driving myself forward daily even when I don’t want to.

How am I learning about sketching? I am giving myself feedback and observing the differences from my sketch and the original picture.

When something goes wrong? I walk myself through what happened, then I visualize what I could have done. I try to give myself mental strength by telling myself positive things.

New discoveries: football – all I need to do is move the opponent, sketching – to make it realistic I have to shade every detail, fitness – I need to decrease leverage to make my excersises harder.

Strengths used in football practice

I observe my peers with the way they play and with the way they use each technique, how I’m moving and what is lacking in my technique. I visualise situations which I can use to my advantage and also to make my practice more disciplined and match like. I reflect what I could have done better where I can use what I did now and when.

Strengths used in campus care

I observe which area needs immediate care and what I can do later. I organize my work into parts instead of trying to finish everything with the given time.

First I try what I want to learn, by then I figured out where in what I’m learning is easier and where it’s difficult to understand and do, then I’m only working on the part that’s hard more than I am for the easy part and this process is obviously long.

I watch videos, connect with peers and connect with coaches and experienced I wish I did. I don’t learn it if I haven’t gotten enough understanding. I try a different method.

Discoveries

The importance of a star value.

Controlling my breathing can give me better performance.

I’m lazy.

I need to workout all the muscles in my body.

Watching movies, writing reviews, script writing, pre production and painting.

I don’t use all of them in the tasks but commitment, planning the details, sticking to whatever I plan and reflecting are some of my strengths that I use in the things I do.

Script writing

I learn script writing by the combination of research and taking notes, sometimes doing exercises to implement the new things I learnt, writing scripts based on the notes from the research and review my previous script and not making those mistakes and trying different things that I wanted to try from last time.

Whenever I face some kind of problem, I think my first thought is to start fresh again, improve next time or either let that problem just be or scrap the whole thing. But I’m not that happy with that approach and now I’m trying to finish whatever I’ve started, take notes for the problems and mistakes, reflect on it in the end and then do something so I won’t face that problem again(I’m mostly talking about making films and its process).

Discoveries

I’m really itching to make a film.

Even though I knew that I learn while making films and its process, I’m actually surprised to how much more I’ve learnt just in the pre-production.

Practice, repetition and just doing something in general helps. A lot.

I need to develop a couple of habits. Like a journal for observations, story ideas, writing, etc.

REVIEW – Comfort/Challenging and Frustrating

What all are you doing at your comfort level?

WHat all are you doing at challenge level (growing, adding new elements)

What all are at frustrating zone ( not able to achieve, struggling, difficult, etc)

Based on the above see If you need any changes in your planning/scheduling pattern

Share your revised or same schedule here with a bit of description of “this is Com, Cha or Frus because….

Scriptwriting | Challenging Zone: I’ve set a pretty tight time limit to complete the script and set targets that include things that make me go to deeper depths and plan the film like I’ve not done before. I’m making the short film in the genre that I’ve not done before.

Watching movies | Challenging Zone: Right now, I’m watching genres that I don’t generally watch and starting to develop the habit of write reviews. It helps me analyze the movie in a broader sense as well as rate movies which I think I’m not really good at.

Rest of the stuff like coding, painting, fitness, dancing, portfolio, reading, etc: Comfort zone. I’m doing them cause I like to and not necessarily get better and I’ve not really set specific targets.

What all is in my comfort zone: campus care, I’m able to finish all my work and do some value addition or extra cleaning. Self reading is just casual not focused on things that works like help me (don’t know if I want to change that).

What all am I doing in my challenge zone: my practice I think I’m improving a lot in my self practice by getting new drills to challenge myself or applying challenges. My fitness is also the same whenever one workout is getting easy I add more weight or change the excersise completely.

Guitar as I just started my fingers are not used to moving quickly. Sketching, I started drawing faces which Is really hard but fun at the same time, I’m learning about the proportions and shading with each drawing.

What all is in my frustration zone: I’m exactly struggling but it is really hard to wash my clothes frequently (don’t need help). Match analysis, I am not able to find new thing in the games, I need to look and observe closer.
