I wan't to blog about the renovations, and how much they influence my Kung Fu, but I can't put it into words quite yet. It just sounds like a pile of rubbish.
Keep your eye out for that post soon.
Countdown to school: 6 days

Intensity
Sifu Kichko has been spending a lot of time with me, helping me finish learning the fourth part of the tai chi form. I just wanted to start off with that. Thanks Sifu :)
Lately, Sifu Brinker has been talking to us a lot about intensity. This is a portion of my kung fu that I really struggle to keep constant, if that makes any sense at all. My ability to "channel my intensity" depends on what I'm doing. Which is something that I'd like to even out. I'd eventually like to know that I'm able to have the same amount of intensity in everything that I'm doing.
I love my forms. Out of everything that I do in Kung fu, they're my favorite. Of course, there are many things that I need to work on in them, but I'd like to think that whenever I go through one of my forms, that my intensity is peaking. Lately, I've been trying to focus on channelling that intensity Into other aspects of my Kung fu, like doing techniques with a partner and sparring. These are two areas that I defiantly lack confidence in, therefore, my ability to remain intense goes out the window.
This is something that I've been working on over that past couple of months, and I really feel that I've made a lot of progress. I've found that I've started to doubt myself less, and I've noticed that the quality of my techniques has improved.
I'm a long way from achieving my desired goal as far as intensity goes, but I'm getting there. I really need to stop questioning myself and "go with the flow." I'm going to make mistakes, but that's the best way to learn. I know that once I start to increase my self-confidence, my intensity will increase. It's just a matter of putting in the time and effort.

It's been a really exciting week for me. My birthday is tomorrow, which means I get to take my drivers test =) Hopefully I pass, which means I will have successfully completed one of my personal requirements! (yayyy)
On a bit of a darker note, some of my friends were involved in a drunk driving accident. One went in for surgery last night, I'm not sure what for. Another is at the University Hospital with four cracked vertibrae. And the others are in the hospital for other injuries. No one was killed, thank goodness. I've been thinking of them every day, and I can only hope for the best for all of them.
Thats all for right now :)

well...
I'm not quite sure what to post about. My mind is in quite a few different places right now. My blog posts recently have been late because of lack of access to the Internet.
This summer has been really busy for me. With the move, family functions, etc. it's been challenging to find a way to place time aside for myself. I've been trying to squeeze it in wherever I can. During our trip to bc, at every rest stop we stopped at I was outside training. It was beautiful and I felt really at peace with myself.
I'm hoping that I can keep this up until the end. I want to finish my journey strong.

I'm Still Here!
It feels like I've vanished off the face of the earth... speaking from a blogging standpoint anyways. We successfully moved out of our house at the beginnning of last week, and I havent had any access to internet until now.
I don't have anything super exciting to blog about. I've spent a lot of time with my family these past few weeks, we've had a wedding, and a graduation all within 4 days of eachother; plus getting settled into the new house, we've been pretty busy.

Let's Be Honest
I'm going to be 100% honest, I'm about 1 - 2 weeks behind on all my requirements right now. I'd like to have some awesome reason about why that is, but I'm going to be honest and say that I've been completely lacking the motivation to do anything. I've been so overwhelmed with final exams, moving, and trying to focus on improving how I approach my role in the kids classes at the studio that I've had no motivation to get up and focus on myself. I started to doubt myself and I even caught myself thinking that I wanted to quit.
Today was the last day of school and I have almost a week to prepare for my finals. I was in the middle of packing up my room when I got up, laced up my running shoes and went for a run. It completely cleared my head, and I was able to remind myself what I was doing, and why I was doing it. I felt all of the feelings that I felt on the first day that The UBBT started, and I felt all of the negative thoughts flow out of me. I think that it was the exact reset that I've been searching for for awhile.
