#target panic

Before we start a quick reminder

So we have looked at two sides of the archers triangle, that of the arrow and bow. Now let’s look at what many see as the hardest element to gain control of, the archer.

The archers triangle

Before we dive into this I want you to think for a moment about your mindset and how you approach these ideas. It’s good to be optimistic when it comes to combating target panic but you have to temper this…

So here’s the deal...my entire life revolves around work. And I’m tired of it. I’ve been a vet tech for just about 20 years now, and I work 2 jobs, I belong to 2 professional organizations, I’m on the executive board for those organizations, I volunteer my time mentoring high schoolers and teaching little ones about being a vet tech.... I can’t. It is not healthy to keep everything revolved around work even when I am not at work. I am very PROUD of my profession, and of my accomplishments, but there is more to life than just work.

So, I’ve changed my Instagram and now my Tumblr accounts to both reflect on things in my life that make me happy other than work. Primarily, my girl friend, and our love for Archery! 

Compassion fatigue and Self Care are more main stream topics in veterinary medicine these days. There is a very high suicide rate among colleagues. Studies in recent years have been done both in and out if the vet industry as to what the reasons are and more and more support efforts are popping up to prevent this. One of my favorite resources ever, is a dear friend and colleague, Dr. Susan Cohen, DSW. She has been truly inspiring and is generous with her lectures and contributions to the veterinary technician community in NY. She has taught me to make time for myself, and that it is not selfish to put self care first; in fact, it is necessary.

Dr. Cohen knows how hard I work. She knows about the 2 jobs, the long hours, and the constant volunteering. When I spoke to her about just wanted to step back from it all, she recommended getting a hobby. And by hobby, she meant an activity that I could enjoy, that :::wait for it::: had nothing to do with animals!  :::GASP!!!::: What is she crazy?!?! My entire life revolves around animals!!! and THAT.. THAT statement is what made me realize,... that I was the crazy one. I simply can not revolve my entire life, all my free time, my evenings, my weekends, to my work and animals. SO....I picked up target archery.

SO, for anyone interested in giving this blog a follow, ARCHERY is going to be my main topic. It keeps me focused, it is FUN, I’ve started competing again, and best of all, my girl friend also shoots and it has given us yet another activity that we both enjoy. It started out as a date night through Groupon, and now we find ourselves competing in tournaments and owning our own equipment just 2 years later. I have to admit, I struggled for almost a year with some pretty bad target panic. I can’t wait to make posts as to how I over came that, because it was quite frustrating and I realize many people have had it as well in one form or another.

Part 1 of Target Panic by  Philosophics

Author Summary:

McCree looks him steadily in the eyes. “I said, I’m in love with you,” he repeats. Hanzo stares some more as the words sink in. “You,” he states imperiously, “are mistaken.” Then he promptly turns on his heel and strides out the open carrier door. - In which McCree confesses his love, Hanzo has some difficulty believing him, and the team seems entirely unable to keep from sticking their noses into the whole affair.

Arrows role in overcoming target panic

Forest of arrows

In the previous posts, I talked about personal confidence and your mindset. In the next couple of articles, I am going to look at the role of equipment setup and how these can affect your confidence in both positive and negative ways. As ever if you have any questions or queries drop me a line. How can we build self-confidence? Well, that is not an easy question as there are so…

Target Panic and the archer part 3
