At last nights I Ho Chuan class, Sifu Brinker asked who thought they were where they should be considering that we are in July. I can honestly say that I feel like I am behind a bit. There are many factors that are behind this but the biggest one for me I feel is the lack of connection and engagement with the team. Being away definitely has its challenges and you feel like you are on the outside looking in. To put it in perspective, so far this year I have made it to one meeting (via Zoom) and been to 2 I Ho Chuan classes in person.
I am not using this as an excuse because I am trying to stay connected as much as I can. I have made sure to read everyone's blogs although sometimes I get behind a bit. I attend online whenever I am away. And i try to keep my online presence up. So what can I do to improve my situation is what I have been thinking about since last night. One, thing is to try and spend more time away practicing my forms (even if its doing small portions when I can or just going through them in my mind. And the other thing I need to do is keep up with my personal blog as it is somewhat chaotic in its schedule right now.
I am excited about finally being able to attend some live classes with this group again just as soon as i am done with this pesky work thing.
