Blog no matter what

 So I don’t have a whole lot of time to write my blog this time. I for some reason thought I would just do my blog after work since I had a Sunday shift today, but I forgot it was a night shift I would not of been able to get my blog up until Monday morning. I am currently writing my blog during my break. I don’t know if I’ll be getting another one tonight, so I am seizing my opportunity.

I am trying to get this blogged posted tonight because it means a lot to me to maintain my schedule of Sunday night blog night. I could just wait until I get home a do it Monday, but that would be mediocrity creeping in. My break is almost over so this is my blog for remember to plan better for next time I might work night shift. Also my promise to keep myself consistent in uploading my blogs.

Willpower

 Willpower is like any other muscle. If you do not work it out it will not get any stronger. It is a muscle that can be easily undervalued. To start exercising willpower try the art of simply resisting an impulse of small magnitude. Working on the choice that will re-enforce healthier habits. A simple example would be I will drink more water instead of other liquid substitutes. It seems small at first, but if achieved the willpower of saying no to the other foreign liquids and an embracing of the water, a muscle has been formed. It can be a small step to achieving other goals in life as well. Also if that newly developed muscle is not kept working it will fall again. Consistent action to training willpower is not temporary, it is a forever life goal. It is a road full of ups and downs. 

 Willpower just has to start somewhere, where it starts it up to us. When we are ready for the journey great experiences will await us. Just do not wait to long.

Engagement

The power of engagement can turn your life around for the better. Simply starting to acknowledge small things in life can have a grandiose effect. Consistently Engaging creates tidal waves of change. A small practice can be as simply focus for a minute; I am breathing in I am breathing out. Very small steps. Start to go bigger and bigger where many small engagements turn into great engagement. Recording these engagements help you learn and become even more engaged. The path to engagement is driven by you and those around you. If you do not choose to engage then it will clearly have no value, but once embraced get ready for a wild ride into this thing called life.

Shaky

 I want to just start out with congrats to everyone and the banquet. To those who got promoted and to those that help put together and run the banquet.

Now for the blog. My mind is a bit of a jumble right now and I am having a hard time picking what I want to share right now. It is not that I don't know what to write right now; it is more related to I am still thinking how to say it. I feel as though I am wary of wanting to share. I will have to end it here for now. This is at least a start.

Chaos

 This is the most chaotic work schedule I have ever worked. I have worked early in the morning and then late at night and then in the afternoon. It has happened in all a week. I even skipped the two days I was going to get off to go to work. So my sleep has been put through some strain, but I seem to be good still.

 I feel good that I am working again; I really do.  What I am in the process of doing right now is re-establishing balance. I have had over a year vacation where I had all the time in the world to do whatever I want. Sort of, because I had to devote a lot of time to recovery. I eventually established a balance that was working. Now with these manic hours I work, I am truly thrown off. Work has helped me a lot mentally, but unfortunately has thrown of my Kung fu temporarily. 

I have every motivation to get my Kung fu back on my path. It is just a little difficult with the wack-a-doodle schedule at work. They have told me my schedule should be a little more main stream in a week or 2, but once it becomes manageable I might be thrown to work night shift. So many more challenges ahead to come. If they move me to nights I might not be able to go to any classes for a while, but there will still be kung fu.

Sick

 So I am sick. I am currently going through whole days where I feel dizzy. Even as I write this I find it difficult to type. I will say so far Covid negative but that could change by next test. Besides the sickness I still am going to try and work on my 3 star form. I am not sure how yet. Even thinking for awhile about complex ideas is like a squirrel with ADHD. As I am writing I am rethinking about trying to work on my 3 star drum form. I am having a hard time writing this blog properly. 

I think I will work on my breathing meditation. It is hard to breath sometimes, but right now I am good. I might not be able to think to logically right now, but I believe a lot of value in just breathing, besides the obvious reasons.  I am breathing in, I am breathing out. 

I am looking forward to what I might learn once I start this. I have done breathing mediations before just normally not dizzy and sick. Every breath might have a cough, but I will do what I can. Small gentle breathing. I look forward to my first session.
