Engaging

Okay so this blog is gonna kinda be what I want... What I AM GOING to do in regards to Kung Fu going forward, I have been feeling a disconnect from my learning, partially from not being there physically but also being drained in other aspects in my life. This is going to change.

So some background, my part time job has recently gone to a full time job and I am finding it hard to do everything that I used to even with my parents helping with Mac and husband longer hours at work due to warmer days. But that's just excuses I use to justify why I am not doing Kung Fu. There is times in the day where I could squeeze in a couple reps, ( and I know this because I think oh, I have time to run through a form) and I continue scrolling on social media. I tire of doing that.

So I have written up a little list that I have made up with all the knowledge that I have gained from my recent 1 on 1 with Todai Ferris and Sifu Brinker

Have the video on on nights that I cannot make it to be there physically,

Understand that I Ho Chuan is a team that has my back, not to judge what I cannot I do, but encourages what I can,

Prioritize myself (take care of myself the way that I take care of others)

Engage more online and in the one on ones, (even if I have nothing to talk about)

Reach out to my team and have fun

Know that Exercising Discipline in my Kung Fu will follow into the rest of my life

And this is going to work By Gosh Darn It!! 

I joined Kung Fu to be cool and Exercise

I stayed be cause I found something so much more fulfilling than I ever though I could. Thanks for the journey so far everyone!

Numbers to be calculated up next blog

Changing Tides of Life

 Hello again dragons how is everybody enjoying the nice cold weather? I know my toes are cold!

This last couple months I started  a new job as some of you may know, It started out as a 9-3 job that was slow if not exciting and new. This last month though we have had two staff move onto different jobs as their lives needed them too. And while I am happy for them moving on to what they need, it has been a little stressful at the work place, More Dr.s came in and are working, and my hours extended to 9-5, 5 days a week,

"Now Cathy" you say " Its normal to have a 9-5 job, 5 days a week" And yes while I know that this will be my first full time job since before collage. Since then it has been Nursing shifts day/evening/nights you name it, to have something so consistent and time consuming is going to be a change, I have recently reached out to a few daycares as it is most likely time to start getting Mac into one, 

I've said this before on a couple of my blogs, but change is hard for me. I think that is one of the reasons that I Joined the I Ho Chuan this year as it is something reliable and helps me keep my head in the game, I know that I have not been coming to a lot of classes recently but I am working towards normalizing my life. 

So thank you team, for bearing with me and always having warm smiles when I am able to make it!

LETS DO THIS! YEAR OF THE DRAGON!!! WHOOOO!!!
