Holiday mayhem and time to reflect
This past 2 weeks have been a blur for me. I was busier during the holidays then I have been at work. Between all my commitments, it seemed like I never had enough hours in a day. Sleep suffered til the last two days before going back to work. Then I forced myself to slow down and get proper sleep. I got alot of projects completed which is good. But didn't get in nearly as much kung fu practise as I wanted. I have been having long talks with my wife about my time commitment to kung fu and my commitment to my family. I need to find a better balance and to learn to really make quality time with them. Ever since the team meeting on saturday I have been going over the year. There is so much to think about and really absorb from a year in the I Ho Chuan. My next post will cover that topic, it's still a work in progress. I did realize that I lost a bunch of my focus and drive leading up to christmas. I let the distractions get to me and I find that I'm not happy about that. It is something I need to work on for the future. I got my pushups, situps and alot of kms in over the break. But the mental aspects of my kung fu suffered alot. I have made alot of gains physically this year, but I realize that without the mental balance, that my true progress will be very limited.
