Frank Costanza: Welcome, newcomers. The tradition of Festivus begins with the airing of grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you’re gonna hear about it!
Festivus starts with the Airing of Grievances. The Airing of Grievances is the hard part. It’s the part where you get honest with yourself. Admit there were problems. Admit that things that could have gone differently.
Like last year for me. When I told myself in October 2013 that I’d regain the splits by December 2013. And here I am now, December 2014. Still no splits. Half-baked training? Lack of focus? Maybe. Whatever the excuse — the accountability and honesty comes out in the Airing of Grievances.
But this paves the way for the Feats of Strength. So put your mishaps on the table. Write the down. What didn’t go right?
- With strength training: maybe you weren’t as consistent as you could have been.
- With physique work: maybe you had too many cheat weekends.
- With tricking: maybe you didn’t progress as much as you would have wanted to. Maybe you played it too safe.
Get it all out in the air. I got a lot of problems with “x.” Or how “x” went.
Because only then do you move onto the Feats of Strength.
I got a lot of problems with “x.”
Now it’s time to do “y” and fix things.
