This year in particular I've focused my training around what I've found works for me. That's doing my sit ups and push-ups in the mornings and through out the day. I use my phone to log my reps and keep an updated running total. My goal everyday is to get to a minum 100 of each and depending on how my shoulder (feeling pain in only the top left shoulder) feels I'll do some more. What's different for me this year is that I'm taking a measured approach. I'm breaking things down in "chewable" chuncks which makes my progress easier and more sustainable. I'm working toward a goal that's attainable but not all in one month. This is important for me to note that in the past I would have these huge highs where I would train like a madd man then not at all. This often would lead to burnout and injury which set me back more than it helped me move ahead.
I'm enjoying watching how other students are staying engaged. Some are using YouTube for videos both on blogs and techniques and others are taking advantage of Kwoon talk and regular blogging. For me regular blogging has been the most beneficial tool for my progression this year. I go back and look at the number of blogs I've written and it motivates me to keep going. I've gone back an re read my blogs to recognise my highs and lows. I can glean reasons for both just by re reading what I wrote. I can't stress enough how important blogging has been for my success this year.
That last sentence was surprisingly difficult to write... I see this year as a success even though I haven't yet accomplish everything that I set out to do. My personality has been that of perfection and ego. If I'm not the very best, I've failed. I believe that this year I've taken a step away from that. I'm not the best and I'm not perfect. What I am is a better person to myself and my family because of the growth I've experienced this year as SRKF martial artist.
