Every once in a while I am reminded of the power an intentional priority can hold. I’ve experienced this multiple times over the years and Kung fu is a great example.
Prioritizing Kung fu classes has helped me to have a better work life balance and advocate for myself. It has also helped me to push through my anxiety, guiding me on a journey that has led me to where I am now, all because I made classes and kung fu a priority in my life.
I’ve also learned over the years to make taking care of myself a priority, especially during times of additional stress. Both last week and this week I was able to fit in sometime at the kwoon to train. With everything going on with my dad, it was much needed time to do something for me, but in order for it to happen, I had to make me a priority.
The power is not just the priority itself. It is in the benefits, the outcome and the ripple effects that develop as a result. There is also power in being able carving out time for myself. Almost to the extent where I am able to create/manufacture the time needed all because I’m determined to do so.
Some of those priorities have been conscious choices occurring as the result of a deep, inner knowing of what is needed in my life in that moment and for the future. They can often start as a tiny seed of thought and then quickly take on a life of their own.
As I reflect on this, I find myself smiling when I consider everything I’ve been able to accomplish because of the power of intentional priorities.
