BreakAThon 2020

This was my first ever event.  To be completely honest, I wasn't excited for it.  I had done board breaks a number of years ago and it didn't go well.  All day leading up to class I was finding all sorts of reasons to not come to class.  I was trying to escape my anxiety and my fear.  

I did get myself together and I did attend the event. I'm very happy that I participated as I had raised money for the event and I had to follow through.  What I realized is that it was a safe environment and no one was pushing me to break outside of my comfort zone.  This is the extremely cool part of SRKF.  No one is pushing thier ego on another person.  It was totally up to me to determine what I was and wasn't comfortable with.  Once I realized that, it was on and I had a blast.  

It was so much fun not only breaking boards and raising money but it was fun holding boards and seeing everyone do an amazing job at thier own comfort level.  

Sometimes I can be my own worst enemy.  I tend to think things are going to be a lot worse than they are. Last night was a perfect example.  I'm happy with pushing myself to go beyond my comfort zone.  This wouldn't have happened in years past so I feel like I've made progress in the right direction.
