I'm going to keep this blog fairly short, as I still have a lot going on; but trying to keep perspective.
I have noticed in the last week, how I mentally fell 'off'' the wagon with trying to keep everything together, and keep perspective. I realized that I felt emotionally, and mentally drained from life and work, and it caused me to be physically limp the week before. This past week I really pushed through, and was pleasantly surprized at how, by pushing the physical, it brought the emotional and mental in check. By that I mean, it didn't seem such a struggle to do even the simplest task, it was as if a little sweat cleared the fog. So I have felt much better in the last week, numbers are back to where they should be for my goals, and I'm taking each day as it comes. I am also fairly happy with my progress this week with my weapon form. I was also struggling with that, finding it very difficult to get the moves down from the video I have. Thank you to Sifi Hayes for taking the time with me to get me about half way through the form. Now to get down the rest, and then to refine and master.
Till next week....
Pushing on, and Pushing Up

Perspective
Perspective
Sometimes life throws a curve ball, and it causes me to sit back and put everything in perspective again. Life can be like a fast moving train, and before you know it, moments and time have passed, and we all know we cannot turn back the clock. So how do I make the moments count, I have asked myself this a lot in the last couple of days.
Events this past week have made me sit back and really think about what is important, what my priorities are, and what is causing wasted time.
I am a banker, therefore early to end of February, it blows up with RSP season. As I say goodbye to another season, I feel I can now refocus on my priorities. I understand that sometimes life derails, but it really made me ponder on how, even when one part of your life is super intensive, how do you fit everything else in? I did not do a very good job of fitting it all in this year. I was so gung ho at the beginning of I Ho Chuan, numbers were great, journal was being done, and goals were being reached, and then BOOM - the world implodes. Okay, yes, I am being a bit dramatic, but it is how I have felt in the last couple of weeks. As I listened to different points at our I Ho Chuan meeting, a lot resonated with me, and I thought - what am I going to do about it? How am I going to change me for when the unexpected happens, and how I deal with it? I am thankful for the meetings, the support, and the perspective of those around me. I guess I am fortunate that it is still early in the year, and I can make up those numbers - I didn't entirely fall to zero each day, but certainly didn't get the daily numbers I had planned out for my year. Time to sign off for now, get my journal writing caught up, and revisit my perspective. Pushing on......and Pushing up...……..
