The biggest difference for me this past week was time. Time to do as I wanted, no schedule, no timeline, no absolutes. It was a great week.
I was on vacation from work. I chose to not have a list of 100 things to get completed, and yet completed more than I feel like I usually would with time off. The week was spent spending time with family. Kody and I had a lot of fun, a couple of outings, and spent time doing stuff around the house together. Time spent with my daughter and granddaughters. Always precious, they grow so fast! Don and I spent time together with no schedule, or direct plans, and it was nice to do as we chose. I spent more time with my mom.
I chose to concentrate on certain aspects of my forms this week as well. Places I felt I was struggling to put together smoothly. Practice was done with intent, and not rushed. I feel like I made some headway, and am feeling more grounded and connected. I also chose to not do any push ups (sorry Master Brinker) to give my elbow a much needed break. I did however do other exercises in place of push ups, and worked on my side heel kicks (thank you for the challenge Mrs Ferris). I concentrated on the technique of my kicks, did some very slowly, and some as fast as I could. I enjoyed the difference of seeing what speed adds to the kicks, the strength, and seeing how my technique remained even with speed. There is and always will be further work to do, but it was fun to play around with it.
Our lives are so busy, and there always seems to be something that needs to be done, somewhere to be, always feeling behind. This week was a fantastic reset and recharge for me. Back to the jungle tomorrow….
