Working on new things

Over the last week I have been focusing on a new-ish kick. The flying spinning roundhouse, this kick has brought challenges and insights. 
I find I really have to warm up before throwing the kick, which I never did much before(I know that’s not good..). As well I have had to work on my timing of when to jump and when to actually throw the kick. This has been one of the biggest challenges with any of my flying kicks. As I think I’m throwing my kick late because I’m finishing my kick right before I land. Where as I want to kick at my apex. And it go in to more depth, when I kick I’m finding I have like no six harmony's… I don’t know how to get this besides just practice, practice, practice. And I think this is leading to other problems, like when I kick in the air(with no bag) I find I don’t feel that release so I keep over-extending. 
Over the last but I feel like I have really been taking my training into my own hands. Like I’m trying to focus and actually work on certain things that I want to improve on! And this has been helpful as I think if I benefit myself I will end up becoming better then I am now; then I can have a better understanding to teach! And on the note of teaching I am trying to take advantage of opportunity’s. Like if I get the opportunity to do a warm up or teach a portion of class(kids or adults) then I’m going to take it. And not wait for someone to just give it to me as a last resort. I want to improve and become better then I am now and that won’t happen if I don’t take a leap forward, and put myself into new situations. 
Also i mentioned a while back that I was struggling with kilometres and I still am. I don't know how to do it mindfully, like I walk to and from school every day. But I really wanna focus on doing it mindfully. If anyone has any suggestions on that please reach out. And this is the same problem with acts of kindness.

    I find what helps me be mindful when I’m walking is to pay attention to my surroundings. Find the new buds on flowers, or the clouds in the sky. Enjoy the air and the space. I also tend to do my best thinking in those moments, and get a sense of clarity.
    For the tracking of kilometers, map out what you would like to accomplish. Take new paths, and enjoy the wonders along the way. I can’t wait to get back to just taking a walk and not having to worry about being sore, or where I’m walking. Take a friend and just chat, you can still be mindful while doing that as well. These are a couple of thingss that help me 😊

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 ...
