Topics

I have been thinking about what to write my blog about today. I have today a lot of topics, but only a few that relate to kung fu. I believe I have been using the blog as a way to open up and tell people my mental and physical struggles all while barely mentioning kung fu.

  Now those things do affect how kung fu progress, but I focus more on the thing affecting it rather than talk more about how trying to become a better martial artist is going.

 Here are my topics I had in mind. “ My Uncle has pancreatic cancer and I’m upset, but I’m emotionally drained still from my dog and I was starting to climb up again, then I got a call that hurt” this topic is effecting me. I would say I am in the still thinking that everything will be ok, but I know that it has a high chance of it will not go well.

 Second topic. “ I found myself frustrated with my dad when talking about eating healthier. I know I’m ok at it, but I found I relate to my Dad more than I thought. He was able to come up with lots of reasons why it’s so hard to cook food healthy and seems to know very well what he has to do to succeed, but doesn’t” I feel as I do the same we both know the path to success, but choose to take the path to failure, because not trying is easier then putting in effort to change your life for the better.

Third topic. “ My stances are the defining feature in my forms and they are too high. My knees have been hurting more lately, because of work. I do stand in place a lot, but I forget to bend my legs to release the tension and in turn sore knees.” This is a topic clearly more about my martial arts and I present it as the third topic and not the first. Meaning I am putting martial arts lower on the totem pole when it should be higher.

 So with these three topics I feel as though I could go on a longer rant, but it would not be honest if I left the other two out. These three things are all happening and I feel I should say more, but saying more can get me in trouble sometimes.
