My Lifeline

My most recent blog was about how I had been feeling overwhelmed. How I had some additional, non-kung fu, stressors put onto my plate that were sapping the majority of my mental energy. How I felt I was barely hanging on by a thread and how I was feeling badly about that.

After some further reflection my perspective has shifted somewhat. That thread that I reference...that one that was keeping me sane...keeping me moving...keeping me from falling into total despair and oblivion....that thread was my Kung Fu. Even though, on some days, I felt like I wasn't doing as much as I should...like I was failing. I continued with as much as I could in the situation I was in. Turns out that single thread was what I would consider to be mymost essential components of the core requirements. Push-ups, sit-ups, forms and blogging. Amongst all the extra stressors, my Kung Fu was my lifeline. Kung Fu was how I came back to myself throughout the day.

Looking back, my Kung Fu was working exactly as it should.
