Don't Be Overwhelmed

I've been having quite a few conversations and have been working with people towards the upcoming performance. Seems to me that everyone is in the same boat- everyone is anxious and worried about their part. I'm not immune either. But I have to remind myself of what Sifu Brinker has been teaching me all of these years- where am I, what am I doing.

Sifu Robinson and I were practicing yesterday with very little progress being made. It was Sifu Hayes who reminded me of this, pointing out that the two of us were not in the moment, at least not both of us at the same time. It's easy to get caught up in the energy of the kwoon, which can be a good thing, but sometimes you have to ground yourself.
