Kung Fu is my Candy Shop

I have always found enjoyment and a sense of wonder in discovering new tidbits of knowledge and understanding. There was a time earlier this year when the moments of discoveries while training seemed to stop briefly. Because of the lack of shiny pieces I could feel myself becoming less motivated. Thankfully awareness was present and adjustments were made.

Orange/green belt was a huge pivot point for me. Blue belt has been a combination of speed train and at times slow motion with frequent discoveries and aha moments. I absolutely love it when pieces click and fall into place. Its that same sense of wonder I experienced as a child. Only now I am taking information and instruction and putting it into practice, making it my own and feeling it. I am also trying to dial it back a bit and not shout out my newest discovery all the time. I feel like a child in a candy shop!

As much as I love those aha moments, I am recently finding less need for them. I am trusting that training mindfully and consistently will continue to earn me more discoveries and aha moments. And if they aren't happening, then I am not training enough or in the right way, or there are components to focus on that need some extra work and time. 

Earlier this week I sensed another transition taking place. I feel myself stepping out of my bubble more. Instead of wanting and needing to do everything correctly I find myself embracing the discovery of incorrect thought processes. Asking questions and getting feedback are an essential part of learning and development. Don't get me wrong though, I do still want to be doing things correctly, but am more open to learning and embracing the process. And being kinder to myself.

Namaste everyone!
