Hello everyone I am here again to blog! I guess this will be how my year has gone so far.Well every year I think my year never goes the way I expected it to go; this year is no exception.
I started the year with bad shoulders and was not able to do normal forms, but I created a weapons form that almost has no shoulder movement in it. Then eventually my shoulders got so bad that I no longer could do any forms properly. The closes thing I get to using full motion in my arms is tai chi form; even then I can't do that long until I start feeling pain again in both shoulders.
Also I think mentally I had a really low point and was feeling really down. I sometimes get really depressed and I just stop functioning. With my injury's in my shoulders it was playing a heavy weight on me. I was almost completely defeated, but I still participated and continued breathing.
Now I got all the bad stuff out of the way let me tell you how absolutely amazing I am doing now. I still have sucky shoulders, but I found myself a miracle. Intent to chi. That one black belt class really helped me improve mentally and I would like to think physically. I got to think completely different way of doing my forms, because it was the only way for me to do any. Intent to chi really got me thinking of how I move my body, and where my power is going and coming from, and what is my actual intent behind all the moves I do in my forms. If I throw a punch and have no intent to do anything with it; will it still do anything? well technically yes with F =MxA and all, but it will not accomplish a whole lot. Once I apply my intent to my chi though it become a whole another ball game.
Also right now I would say I am doing really good right now in life, because I have a career that I love, surrounded by amazing people. So all I need right now to make it even better for me would be a girlfriend :)
Well I guess that is everything now so my next blog be uploaded on November 20, Sunday.
Remember everyone stay extraordinary.
