i tried to reach you, but all the lines were down
So instead of focusing on how worn out i've felt lately, and how i haven't been sleeping very well, i thought it would be best to focus on things more positive.
I went to a brazilian jiu jitsu seminar on saturday and i'm really glad i went. It was held at my regular gym, and the guy who took it, bruno panno, is a black belt who trained under royler gracie. If you don't know who royler gracie is, all you need to know is that he's fantastic at what he does and well respected across the whole world. The seminar went for maybe two and a hlaf hours, and covered a whole range of different techniques and positions, and ways to work within them. It was a good day.
***
Recently, uni work has been weighing kind of heavily on my shoulders.
I know this because when you have uncomfortable dreams about mistakes on assignments you don't even have, you are at least a little stressed.
***
I realised the other day that when i'm tired my feelings can be quite easily played.
The comments weren't particularly strong, and they shouldn't have even bothered me at all really, but somehow they just made me feel really heavy, and really tired. I just wanted to leave the class room right then, find somewhere quiet, and lose myself in my book. I didn't though. I like to think i looked calm and collected, but i'm pretty sure i didn't. Most likely i looked distant and annoyed.
Though arguably, that's how i look to people anyway.
In any case, i kind of expect more of these sorts of comments in the coming week, but at least i'm in a better mind set to deal with them now.
***
So all i need is just enough strength to ride out the next few waves. After that, it's all smooth sailing.
I mean, how hard can it be, right?
