Lots of things are going on. I just came back from Belgium, where I had an okay tournament, and a good training camp. Then, had to catch up on tests and assignments, which also went pretty well.
Right now, I'm really trying to improve the way I live my life. I've realized that I'm not satisfied. My life has the potential to be very fulfilling, but I'm not really living it. It seems as if I'm always rushing to do this, worrying about what to do next, and never really enjoying the present moment, the now. I've decided to improve my life.
But how does one do that? Where do you even start? There are so many things I want to change! Well... I'm trying to live in the now, going from nowhere to now here! - taken from the Love Guru. lol. But really, it's the truth. When I'm listening to someone, I'm trying to really understand what they're telling me. I'm practicing breathing exercises in the morning. I'm fighting to override my feelings of irritability and instead, be more patient and open to the others. I'm trying to procrastinate less, and get started on the things I put off. Like my application to Tokai. Just yesterday, I felt so overwhelmed with the number of papers I need to assemble and the people I need to contact to get those papers. But now, I'm trying to take it one step at a time, tackling one thing after another. And it's like a positive feedback loop, when I procrastinate less, I'm more relaxed, and more patient towards others, etc. So that's my resolution for 2011. It's a big one that encompasses pretty much my whole life. I want to become the best I can be, in all aspects of my life, whether it be judo, eating healthy, treating others right, getting my homework down, or appreciating who I am. It's not something I'll accomplish in the near future. Rather, it's a lifelong journey. So I better get started! :)
