Out of Town Training

Out of town training is starting to wear on me a bit. My motivation is very low, which, considering I set a goal for myself to get my yellow belt by Christmas, shouldn't be the case. I'm trying to take Sifu Brinker's advice and keep up my engagement in the hope that motivation will follow. The hardest part is that, without being in class to get corrected, I feel like I'm doing things wrong. When I do Da Mu Hsing I feel like every time I make a correction and reinforce it for myself, something else drops off and I'm not any further ahead. Keeping my body square is incredible difficult for me, even when I am consciously thinking about doing so. My heel still will not stay down and my feet do not want to point straight in my bow stance. 

I'm trying to stay positive and just concentrate on what I'm doing but it's hard. I have almost a month off starting Dec 10 so I'm pretty excited to be able to put in some time at home. I guess this is just part of the ebb and flow of training. Sometime things are better than others.
