Life

Note to those going through it (& myself)

I only feel guilty about 2 things in life; being late to appointments & eating too much sweets.

I tell you that because I have released myself from guilt about not training as much as I'd like. Art shows & injuries have pushed/ pulled me off my preferred level & frequency of training A HUNDRED times. In retrospect, I found that if I'd have eased off the training throttle by a little, most of the injuries could have been avoided.

Do you acquire guilt from being pulled kicking & screaming from "full time" training. Do you experience fear of loosing all your hard earned adaptations? How much guilt & how mal-adapted will you become if you can not train at all? I know I hate playing catch up after a period of life & / or career getting in the way of my training. But the trick is still stoking the fire while you get situated for the next big push. Feeling guilt or fear is not helpful. Now I know I'm only speaking about my own fear & guilt. I know, further, that you never copped to either emotion.

So, I remind you to be grateful & present during the time you do get to train during this transition. You are going to come out the other side of this download period STRONGER than ever!
