I feel thwarted

This week has been extremely tough for me. I am having some health issues that I am having trouble getting diagnosed, let alone treated. I haven't gone to class once this week. I've lost eight pounds because I'm having trouble eating anything. It is so frustrating it brings me to tears. I have gained a new respect for people who live with chronic illnesses. It's a long weekend so all the ultrasound etc is closed so I am waiting for Tuesday, not very patiently though.
This is the first time I've felt like I'm really falling behind with my requirements. I don't know when I will be able to train, when will I feel better? I keep asking myself this over and over.
Trying to keep a positive mindset is a lot harder than it sounds. Often I can kind of mind over matter myself and keep going, but it's not working out so well this time. This week has been a real challenge, and I am going to try to keep thinking positively and taking care of myself.

  1. Taking care of yourself is really important, and there are lots of us that are willing to help out any way that we can. You are not alone, and your requirements will take care of themselves when you are able. Just try to stay mentally engaged, talk to your fellow UBBT members, and I know things will work out.

    Take care of yourself and feel better soon. We have missed you at the Kwoon.

  2. Sifu Wilson's posting says it all. You are definitely missed at the kwoon. That speaks volumes about the leadership and inspiration you are providing. The chances of completing your UBBT without running into a snag or two is zero. It is how we deal with these snags that separates the can doers from the quitters. Your journalling has been top notch and your participation has been fantastic. These things will continue to serve you well and I have no doubt they will get you through to the other side.
