I'm back again, with another solo episode! This week, I talk
about how to let go of worrying. I'm going to be honest here: I can
be a worrier. I'm recording this episode in the week after my
kickboxing winter course, which is the colder version of the summer
course you may have heard about last July...except this time, I was
grading, so the stakes were higher.
I worried about all kinds of things: that the winter course would
be more difficult than the summer course, that I wouldn't do well
on my line work, that I wouldn't pass my grading. I did plenty of
mindset work in the weeks and days running up to the winter course,
and I practiced my line work every day at home. But I was often
short tempered and difficult to be around because I had this low
level worry running in the back of my mind.
And then I got to the winter course, and it was just fine! Yes, it
was challenging. Yes, my entire body aches...days after the course.
But I did just fine. In fact, I actually enjoyed it. And best of
all, I passed my grading and will be getting my brown/white belt in
the new year!
