I'm happy to update that things are moving in the right direction even more this past week. With the first class back at the Kwoon under my belt things are starting to feel even more "normal" if that's even a thing anymore?
I've been taking a slower approach to my training these past couple of weeks. I'm aware of where I failed and the causes of that failure. So to avoid falling back I've decided that in order to develope a sustainable pace I need to ease back into things. This is tough because I'm so far behind on my personal requirements every bone in my body is screaming at me to push hard and catch up. This isn't realistic nor sustainable. What I'm focusing on is moving forward, even if it's at a snails pace. That forward progression will generate the results that I'm looking for and the pace will increase.
I'm focusing on a couple of key areas. Blogging, class attendance and forms. Each one of these things are feeding my engament. The next phase that I'll be moving into is my I Ho Chuan requirements that I've been slack on. Most of these are additional personal requirements but would include push ups, sit ups etc.
Just being back in the Kwoon with all of my training mates has made a world of difference to my mental health. I traveled (and have resumed recently) extensively prior to the pandemic and I've always struggled when I was away for prolonged periods of time. The virtual environment that has been created is a improvement but for me can never replace the in person experience.
Snails pace for now but still moving in that all important forward direction.
