New years

 Few years ago before joining Kungfu on new year’s eve i was saying my resolution for the years !I am sure i am not the only one failing with that.What is the difference with the personal requirement we take when we start with Ihc ?I see the structure,the support ,responsibility and wanted to reach the mastery not only with Kungfu but personally.Did i have accomplished everything i say i would? No but i switch fews things  around to reach my goals.do i feels that i failed?no due failing just help me to set a new path and i might change it again until i found the right way!

IHc

It s been 2 years that i am part of the team!At first i thought that’s is a good challenge without realizing that was more than the number.I felt that was a success years and i can do just better with the next year!Surprise life/injury/family can often throw at you is own challenge!With Ihc have improved my confidence,my ability to adapt even if not easy at first and to remain positive regardless the situation and not saying i don’t have down moments.The support we received is incredible.Thank you and looking forward for the third year!

Monday

 Lately my blog have not been done constantly.I am choosing now monday!The break-a-thon have been eyes opening !At time my focus was how i needed  to place my feet /toes then forgetting the technique behind causing  not breaking the boards.With the advice of Sifu i was able to be successful!I challenges myself for the fundraising and asked mostly float people at work and not my close surroundings.I even told my kids that mom won’t help them raising money for them.They did good ,the only help given to them was putting out the video they did and share on our media .

Personal requirements

 I am not proud saying that i am failing with my personal goal .I am still a smoker, bad eating habits and did not achieve yet my 5 k running.This past weekend i had eye openings!my son telling me breakfast is the most important meal of the day,Mr Duncan with his  due date for smoking cessation.Now i just need to kick myself and applying a plan.I am keep pushing back my date so on Wednesday it is!Working only night shift for so long i feel my body stay in that beat even on my days off .In the past i say i will not have coffee unless i eat before but i didn’t do it .I will return to this plan!For the running part  with more energy and smoke free hopefully that will help me to achieve this goal!Finally i just want to share that we gona have a new kitten from scars!!!
 Motivation can be hard to keep when you question yourself.I feel my progress have been very slow but yet i know i have not attended lots of classes or open training due of work Or family.I had also a few hard shifts .I had a pt dying ,he was palliative but family on denial.They accused me ,they yield at me for not saving him regardless of all my kindness to keep him peaceful.This week was more on the dark side but last night class was awesome!with the challenge given to us to put the show in 15 sec of our weapons forms.I notice i didn’t think and just did and felt that was a good performance!I am my own demon if i allowed it .Too much thinking don’t allow you to feel it or be confident.

Frustrated with the weapons

 Lately i feel frustrated with my cane .I had the chance to received help of sifu Hayes during the Saturday open training!Now i am going backwards.,mixing my old habit v/s the new advise.somehow knowing and aware that i am doing wrong .At this time of the year we should feel strong with our form but i can’t say that for now.The last 2 weeks works have been busy and challenging and my number have suffered.I need to review how i trained .Many of my reps are done on my break .Working full time 12 h night shift ,family duty ,kids extra curricular during the week give me some challenge.After reading Sifu Vantuil post ,i had reflected and that i allow myself to have more sit down than training @home.Many class i felt exhausted due of poor sleep but yet felt energized after all.I was thinking to chose the sword for my next weapon but now i might have to reconsider.when we did the form in class the next day i had neck and shoulder pain.now doing physio for it.

Act of kindness

At work we have a pt that requires a security guard due of his violent behaviour.Last night one of the guards was awesome.I saw the pt being care with kindness!I am not saying the other was bad but this one stood up for me.He gave pt a part of his home meal ,chat with him has his budy at the same time doing is duty.Act of kindness is not only doing it but acknowledged and telling people of it can only increase the chances that was not a random act .
