I HATE MONDAYS!!!

What a day this Monday was!!!  When people say "I HATE MONDAYS" I can relate!!!  From the time I left the house for an early meeting with a customer, I realized that I had my keys and my wife's keys in my car.  I had to turn around go back home and then rush back to the city for my meeting.  Not a great way to start the week.

The meeting did not go well.  The relationship I thought I had (both personal & business) was not as solid and meaningful as I once thought it was.  Because of what happened it will never be the same.....which had first upset me and now saddens me......  The rest of the day spiraled down from there.  It seemed that I could not get my feet underneath me at all today.  A lot of reps needed my time across the region, insane amount of email and just a huge demand for my time.  I really think I got a glimpse of what Sifu Brinker must feel like at the Kwoon.

I did take the time to check Kwoon talk (where did that time come from???) and saw the post by Sifu Brinker on "Effortless Effort".  That five minute clip was great and it seemed like he posted that just for me and was talking just to me even though I know that it was meant for all of us.  Sifu is exactly right in the fact that we need to take the time to train (even a little everyday) and apply our Kung Fu in all aspects of our life.

How could I have used my Kung Fu today other than put my customer in an ARM BAR????  The meditation and breathing would have helped me catch my breath and regain my composure.  The breathing techniques we learn in class can be used in real life situations to help control anxiety and help calm our selves so that we don't let emotions dictate our responses.At the end of the day we need to keep our wits about ouselves when other are losing theirs......this is where my Kung Fu and my training steps in.
