The feeling is totally back! All I had to do was get up and do it.....
Of
course, when I was in the middle of my slump, I couldn't see the forest
for the trees and didn't consider just getting up and getting stuff
done. Today, it took no effort at all, I just did it. I'm curious about
the human mind and how it works, how does one day make a difference? one
conversation? one moment in time? It kind of makes you pay more
attention to each moment 'cause it could be the one that changes
everything.
I had a great day and didn't stop moving forward all
day, it was nice to have that back. I did some work outside and inside, I
spent some time with my husband, I spent some time with me, finished a
book and practiced my guitar. My guitar lessons just had a moment, my
teacher said something to me that stayed with me all week and it seems
to be changing how I am approaching my practice; just keep strumming and
the magic will happen. It seems to be working.
I also got some
interesting advice about my form on the weekend, by trying so hard to
make it flow, I'm ruining the flow. The weirdest part is that I totally
get it. I have been struggling with my hand form forever, it feels like.
It feels clunky and not flowy, so I asked my sifu and it has totally
changed how I am approaching my practice. I think I know exactly how to
fix it, it will take some time but I now know what to do.
I feel
like I have been walking around in a grey fog for months and suddenly
the lights have been turned on and everything makes sense. It was that
moment yesterday that changed everything, I'm glad that I was paying
attention. :)
