Bata Form -

This week we showed our bata forms. First of all I am terrified of presenting things. So in doing our bata forms I am always so nervous, even if I know my form and know what i'm doing it's still really hard to control my nerves. Once we we lined up on the wall is when I started to shake. Noticing that my partner and I were around the middle of the line and it would take a bit to get to us. So for that time being I was just stuck in my head and could barely pay attention to all the cool forms... This is something that I have always struggled with, presenting, and it leads me to not be able to enjoy what is going on around me. But then when it came to our turn I went and did good I think! Afterwards my heart was still racing and my hands were still shaking.. But I did it! And I was so happy I did. This struggle has gotten a lot better over time. As my first year in the IHC if im remembering right I had asked to go first because I had almost had a panic attack. Which was not good but I did my form and nothing bad happened. It's just all in my head and I feel like that's the worst part. Because I know the whole team is here for me. But I can't seem to always shake the feeling that I won't be up to people's standards and then it just spirals. Although I was stressing it was really cool to see peoples forms!! You guys all did so good. 

BTW thank you for all the people who reached out this week to get me to do some pushups and situps!!

    I can totally relate to this and your right it does gradually get easier. I have to remind myself to take slow deep breaths otherwise my legs feels like jello. Try Mindful breathing and telling yourself “I’ve got this “.

Routine

Last week I had my last diplomas! I am officially done high school! It’s a big relief but at the same time there is now the stress of what comes next. I have liked school for the reason of having a routine but now I have to work on myself in making my own routine. This will include food, exercise, sleep, and just making sure that I don’t spend as much time just laying in bed.  Having the coffee zoom this morning(Sunday), we talked about eating habits. And I know people have told me again and again how eating properly will change your life for the better. But our conversation this morning really shifted something in me. I have always wanted to do certain things but can’t seem to keep the motivation. But in blogging about it I hope it causes me to feel the need to continue.  I plan to do some research on which foods are the best, and which ones I should stay away from. As well I will look into which food can help me sleep better. If anyone has any advice I would be happy to hear...

The good and bad

Last week I had a lot of ups and downs. For instant one minute I would be full of energy and the next I would want to crawl into a corner. This made things a lot harder. I would find it took a lot of energy to do simple tasks, like even getting out of bed. Even this blog is being published later then I wanted. When I get down I sort of just close off and just shut everything out. Which in retrospect it's not a good thing. I have been trying moving to a new location(like from one room in the house to another), and sometimes it works but other times it doesn't. But within all the harder moments there were good. One of which was hanging with my friend, we bleached t-shirts over the weekend which was really fun. And I have gone on some deep dives in kung fu which have been really cool! So even though I see a lot of harder times there is also lots of good.  push ups - 1000 Sit ups - 1015 Hand form - 255 Weapon - 205 Kilometres - 697 Aok - 491 Blogs - 21 +1 Sparring - 125 Personal :...

Shifting

Over the last while I have been missing kung fu, I had to miss a few classes due to having school work and just changing perspectives. But yesterday I was able to attend tai chi and I am so thankful that I decided to go. From not be able to go over the last little bit I was sort of nervous to 'come back' because I was kind of scared of what people would think. But in retro-spectre I shouldn't have been nervous because this is my journey and it doesn't necessarily matter what others think.  Over the last month-ish, I have been practicing/focusing on shifting weight. Like in tai chi I shift forward and backwards quite slowly and I am able to feel where in my body the weight is going, like through my leg down to my foot(but in more detail , I normally have more weight in the ball of my foot when shifting forward. But when shifting back I found my weight goes straight down my leg into my heal.  This has developed into more insights in my training. When doing a kung fu form ...
