For the past few months, I've hit a bit of a rough spot with my training; just completely lost my motivation when it comes to actually getting my butt in gear and practicing. I've hit ruts before, but nothing like this. I haven't been coming to classes, and my training at home has been next to nothing. The only bit of training I really get in is when I'm here teaching the kids classes. However, this month I've been really keeping it in front of me that I've got to keep my Kung-Fu at its full potential to set an example for my students. If I'm not keeping up with my curriculum, why should they? We'll see where this takes me. I'm taking things one step at a time for now.
I just came back from a 2 week holiday with my family. We road tripped down to Portland, then from there drove the Oregon Coast to Lincoln City, where we got to see the Redwood forest. This was by far my favourite leg of the trip. I love the ocean and the peacefulness that it brings to me. From there, we went to San Francisco for a few days, then to Vegas and back home! It was by far one of the best family trips we've ever experiences. My brother and I usually get along pretty good, but I feel that this trip was a real turning point in our relationship as siblings. I think it brought us closer, and really allowed us to build trust in each other. . . I guess that's what happens when you're stuck next to each other in the car to 16 hours.
Back in May I was offered an internship at Westview Health Centre in Stony for 6 weeks in the summer. So, that's what I've been up to! I've been working there 5 days a week, 8 1/2 hours a day, and I love every minute of it. So far I've spent my time down in Continuing Care, the Operating Room, as well as in the Wound Clinic. It's an absolutely amazing experience and I'm definitely learning a lot from it. Keeps me busy.
Watch for my blogs once a week, this is my first goal for myself to try and get over this hump that's in front of me. I know that if I keep myself mentally involved in my training, the physical part will come with it.
"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." - M. Scott Peck
