Love this. Life is hard enough without us being hard on ourselves. I power through too often and it catches up to you. I seem to only slow down when I get hurt. Now I have a broken arm which is making me so grateful for health insurance, a job where I can work from home and a caring husband. The goal I've been working towards for 17 years is getting a black belt, but I keep getting hurt trying to achieve it. Now I am seriously thinking about abandoning that goal. I'm not sure I have much to pat myself on the back about with martial arts anymore. It's a struggle for me right now because I don't want to be a quitter, but I'm literally broken because of practicing it.
jasmin! i love this and i love you!
