Focus

It's been an okay week for me. The training has been going okay but I've been a little distracted preparing for next week. I'm excited about getting started on the renos but will be glad once they are completed. Then I can focus on training hard(er) for my black belt grading.

Renos on the mind.

I am starting to feel a lot of pressure lately. We are less than 2 months away from grading and I feel like I need to spend more time training. I'm not saying that this is the reason because its not, but the added pressure of doing Kwoon renovations is not helping. There is a lot of work left to go and even though its not the case, it seems like I am spending all my free time working instead of training. This is planting seeds of doubt about my rediness to grade. The way I have gotten through is looking at the renovations as part of my training because it reconnects you to the Kwoon. Its not like I regret doing the renos its just my mind playing tricks on me. I will be prepared to grade if I am ready and if I am not that will have nothing to do with doing the renovations. I'm sure every Sihing that is planning on grading has something in the back of their mind telling them they will not be ready. We havre a strong bond and it is definately an asset to have them as training mates.

Renovations to Injuries

Today I was offered the chance to go on a golfing trip to Panarama from August 31st to September 5th. I would have loved to have gone except for one thing... Kwoon renovations will be going on that week and I have committed to that already. It is a little bit dissapointing but what can you do. Speaking of renovations I have to post the dates on kwoon talk.

On a side note my shoulder(s) (both now) are starting to get very painful. I am sure that the pushups and the tiling are doing them no favors. It may be time to talk with someone about this and figure out whats going on with them. Sorry that was kind of random but I just wanted to throw that out there. It helps to relieve some of the frustration.
