This week I put a routine into place. Well sometimes I didn't follow it exactly but I didn't just lay around all day either. I got some good hours in working on my forms! This has been really inspirational as I have been able to think deeper into my forms and develop more of a liking.  This year I really disliked my weapon form. But I'm starting to come to a realization that I can't change what weapon I'm doing I can only improve the one I have. I disliked my weapon choices as I felt like I couldn't develop a 'good' form but all I need to do is work on improving what I don't like. So, from practicing all week I have developed/worked on my form (and LOADS of youtube videos and searches) I have transformed it into something I do like. Sure there is always room for improvement but I think this is a good start to something new.  push ups - 940 Sit ups - 975 Hand form - 235 Weapon - 185 Kilometres - 657 Aok - 471 Blogs - 20 +1 Sparring - 125 Personal :  G...

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...

This week was pretty rough on me mentally, and took a lot of effort to do the simplest things. I constantly doubted what I was doing, and why I was even doing things. Well feeling really bad one of my friends who was also going through something reached out and started texting me. This REALLY help as it was someone outside of my family that knew what was going on and helped reassure me that it was not all my fault. As well as just reassure how much of a caring friend they are and how much they actually mean to me. Talking to them started to help pull me out of my slump. We were talking about being grateful yesterday in class(or that's one of the things I interpreted). This is one of my things. My friend(not going to put their name), they mean so much to me. I think everyone needs someone who will support them regardless. Help them when they are down but also being able to help push them. My friend knows I do kung fu and supports everytime I decide to go. I know a lot of people when...

Last Friday I met up with todai Ferris to work on one of my personal requirements. This requirement was drumming. I have had an extremely hard time getting started on this one just because I have not had enough motivation. Like I want to be able to drum, but I tend to prioritize other things before.  We first went through the different segments of drumming(thunder drumming, three star, the wave, stocking the lettuce, throwing the lettuce, and seven star). It was a lot and they are all similar yet so different. After I got the hang of the patterns we went and did a “full dance”. Sure there were parts where I messed up, but I kept going regardless. I was really proud of this! Thank you todai Ferris! Without your pushing to practice I most likely wouldn’t have even started! As well as thank you for some of your knowledge!  push ups - 810 Sit ups - 825 Hand form - 180 Weapon - 170 Kilometres - 557 Aok - 391 Blogs - 16 +1 Sparring - 125 Personal :  Gratitude - 5 Journaling - 9...
