BTSW -

Back to school week was stressful with getting mentally ready for school as well as a lot of personal mental health things going on. Although I got to go to the kwoon everyday for a few hours!! I normally went in the mornings which set my day off in a productive way and giving me the opportunity to give back. I initially felt like I didn't do much and I still feel that way a little as I wasn't really a part of any major projects this year. But I got a bunch of little things done and got to help out the people that were there! So I think I got to give back to the kwoon but as well I got to create a better bond with some people. I think we got a lot done and it was a good way to spend the week!!

At the potato bake it was really fun!!! I got to see some of the kids from the kid classes which was really nice. I think that everyone that was there were really nice and included me in conversations and talked to me even if we had not talked as much before which was really nice!! As well as doing a lion dance which always makes me feel better(which it did), although the mouth broke again, so I ended up having to hold the mouth together well doing the dance. For so reason the most memorable dances are the ones that go 'wrong' in some way. Like the tiger challenge 2 years ago I got a bloody nose but I remember it being really fun to do! As well as making some pies for the potato bake which was really fun to do!!

AND  I have officially started my last year of high school!! It was a really stressful day and I still need to rearrange some of my classes but there were some good highlights throughout the day! I'm trying to look at more of the positive as it has been really hard for me these last month.

    Congrats on starting your last year of high school! The last year can be crazy but if it ever starts to feel like an ending just remember that it’s really the start of a beginning!

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 ...
