This is an easy concept to explain to someone. It is not the easiest thing to live. Last week, I started to push myself a little bit, just to see what I could do. That was a mistake. I hurt my knee, alienated the muscles in my shoulders and wore myself out.
So now, I am paying attention to how I move and doing it slowly. I am still getting tired but not as so that I have to have a major sleep. I think that I may learn more about how I move if I continue to do so slowly and without tasking my muscles.
I have been working on my goals for UBBT 7 and there are still not quite there but getting closer. On some of them I am not sure how to word them, on others, I have no idea how to measure them. I am getting there and have no doubt that it will come together in the next ten days.
I attended my first Sihing class on Friday and could not help feeling excited throughout the whole class. I truely missed the intensity of that class, it is not the same sitting on the bench. I did learn lots of things that I may have missed if I would have been on the mats. I got to observe how other people recieve new information and I got to watch how the teachers changed their explanation each time to help different learners. It was a very valuable experience.
I continue to use self talk to stay patience with myself and I am trying very hard to progress wisely. That is all I can do for now.
