De-Stress

 This week at work was long again as I knew it was going to be, and will be for some time to come. A few less hours - 56 this week, as I am committing to not miss my Kung Fu classes. Priorities. 

I was pleasantly surprised at the end of Friday when I wasn’t near as exhausted as last week. I felt like a walking zombie by the end of the week last week, and barely felt refreshed going back to work on Monday. It also wasn’t the 4 less hours worked in the week. 

It may sound strange, but I was much less exhausted because I attended 4 Kung Fu classes this week. Black belt class, IHC class, Dragon Dance practice, and the Si Lum seminar. The reasons are two fold I believe. I believe the physical activity in classes during the week feeds my body from the mental game I play all day at work, sitting at my desk for the most part. And I know that the stress I feel is the mental strain from work, and when I walk into the Kwoon I leave that at the door. With spring break last week I didn’t get that separation, and the renewed energy this week is a testament. Although I was much more physically active this week, I am much less tired. Go figure. 

I am officially on my own in my position for the next two weeks now, and will be training someone for the next few months. It will be tiring and stressful, but I am also looking forward to the challenge again. 

Numbers again a little lower on the week due to time constraints.
