Missing it

I seem to be missing a lot of time training lately. I have been away on a couple of trips lately and I now have another one next week. I will be gone for 4 days so will not be available for a demo we will be doing or the lion dance. I then get back for a couple of weeks before I am gone again. I will be missing out on the forms seminar which I wish I could take part. I know I am missing some great opportunities to help with my training and I have regrets about them but I don't know what to do. It's frustrating for me as I am committed to going for my black belt but I could use all the extra help I can get. I've also noticed that it is really hard to keep up with my UBBT goals. I can do some things but others are a lot more difficult. I plan on watching class via a webcam but it will not be the same. adaptability will be key for my success over the next 6 weeks and I must keep focused.

Time is passing

Wow, where did the time go? I put off posting my blog on Friday as I was in meetings all day so I decided to do it Monday. Monday came and went and now it is Wednesday and I should be blogging again already. The lesson is do not procrastinate as you will only fall further and further behind.

Time Off

This past week I was in Panorama for 3 days of skiing. It was nice to get away and have some fun. I have spent the past 3 months putting in a lot of time into my training. What I didn’t realize is that I think I was so focused on training that I was starting to get frustrated. No matter how hard I worked, I didn’t think I was improving. It’s almost like you start spinning your wheels but you don’t go anywhere. What I have to focus on now is not just the physical training but and more importantly the mental training. The road to a black belt takes many turns and this was just the latest one of many to come I believe.

Change is Coming

My last post talked about being down so this one will focus on the positive. Even though I have been down I still enjoy training at the Kwoon. The positive energy I get from everyone there pumps me up and gets me reenergized. then after reading the comments posted on my last blog, I realize that I’m not the only one who gets down. I would like to thank everyone I train with for the support and you know what, I feel ready to go again.

Do I Have To

This week has been a little bit off for me. My energy and enthusiasim seem to be a bit down. I’m not sure why but I think it has something to do with a couple of injuries I have. I have been keeping up with my numbers but it has been a struggle to just get out there and do it. Maybe next week will be better.
