Ash Connolly Performance

Check me out. I’m well hard 👀

I went full-blown hairy spuds palm blasting through a wooden block at a seminar a few weeks back reminiscent of 1980’s Van Damme.

‘Twas the s**zzle.

All about challenging limiting beliefs and all that funky s**t.

My mentor, , and his compadre, hosted a pretty sick day.

As well as spanking wood 🙄

* I walked on broken glass and hot coals barefoot
* I snapped an arrow with my throat
* Learned about my fears, limiting beliefs, and s**zzle

And a f**k load of other stuff relating to performance, mindfulness, etc.

More importantly

Accepting that progress is uncomfortable, life will throw a bit of s**t our way, and suffering little is acceptable and often necessary to get somewhere better.

Anyhoo

How’s your week panning out?

Lemme know ❤️

2008 with my band bum chums.

The days when I was in a metal ass m**o, scruffy bellend with a guitar.

Not changed - I’m still Ugly AF 😂

We were listening to some of the old music we’d recorded last week.

The bestest memories

- Practise in the drummers Dads House and various rehearsal rooms
- Gigs full and others playing to an empty room
-Creative Process of music
- Dragging heavy ass gear in a car big enough to only fit my left arse cheek in
- Partial deafness

Basically all the s**zzle that small band musicians go through.

T’was the golden years of my life fo sho’.

We spent 2 years together almost every day

- Practicing
- Writing music
- Recording
- Gigging
- Getting Pi**ed 🤣

I friggin loved it!

But

We broke up... Gutted.

I stopped playing in bands after that.

I needed something to do - getting my arse kicked in a cage after the band days.

Which is how I got into fitness long ass story short.

Anyhoo

I dunno ‘bout you but as age has caught up with me and everything that slings my way, responsibilities and all that funky s**t

-Kids
-Career
-Bed by 9 PM on a Friday 👀

I’ve forgot about all the fun s**t I used to do growing up.

Nowt to do with fitness, work or anything that I do on a daily basis.

But

At heart I’m a 34 year old teenager and a lot of the things I want to do are the same s**zzles I used to love doing as a kid.

Music
Basketball
PlayStation ’tjudge 🖕🤣

Whilst my priorities have changed I still try to fit in some “me time”.

I need to have a least a few hours a week where I can pretend I’m

Jimi Hendrix
Michael Jordan
Saving the world from a Zombie Apocalypse

I’m a better person to be around if I’ve done one or a few of these things over the week.

Sleep better
Reduced stress
More energy
Less grumpy f**ker all round.

I wish I would’ve started doing it sooner but

Whatever you do.. You got to get that leisure time in.

Doesn’t have to be the Gym, fitness s**zzle or going on a full blown bender.

Just something you love for an hour or two a few times a week to relieve stress and remove yourself from the real world for a while.

Life’s too short to be serious AF all the time.

Stay spicy 👌❤️

One of the few occasions when I have a shower, do my hair and stick a posh suit on.

Judging at 2019 at the Hilton.

I was Chief Bell Whacker 🔔 🥄

A role that came Au Naturale...Obvs 🙄🤣

Along with my fellow Judging Compadres, we had a tremendous night out

And

Felt important for a change 🤣

Well, I did anyhoo.

Pimpin ain’t easy 🙃
