Ok. So it turns out I do need some down time.
I took the last 3 days off of anything Tai chi and went up to visit some friends. It was good to give my brain a rest. I realized I got kind of caught up in all the things I needed to learn and was trying to cram it all in to every possible crevice.
Unstructured time is important, I have to remind myself yet again, keeps me sane and just gives my brain a break. Going to make sure I fit more of that in going forward so I don’t burn myself out.
The rest of the week is going to be pretty laid back. Going to ease back in slowly so I don’t completely ruin the vacation brain I still have going on. I will spend most of the week figuring out what the proper balance is to achieve the level of training I want, as well as keeping myself some down time.
Today’s practice:
not a damn thing.
