Still did my training ,it was great thaugh to have that much more recovery time.In addition to my school,I am the rep for MAIA and Century providing martial arts consulting and goods/services so it can get crazy sometimes.But as they say you want something done then give it to a busy person.Times before / during & after Easter tend to be quiet ;even more so with school term vacation only a week away which means more time to tune my testing for the UBBT. Listening to my Ipod each & every day having loaded all my E Books,I always wanted a duke box and now I have one that fits in my pocket..wow! 12 Days of tracks are on and still mountains of space to spare!!Have to say filling your head constantly with positive messages from the likes of Anthony Robbins makes you notice so much about the negativity of people as well as raising awareness of the kind of person we need to be. Anyway within the last couple of days I have experienced some negativity that normally would cause me to become very irate. One instance whilst in the gym (on Easter Sunday of all days), in the past would have certainly lead to an altercation and I have to say I would have started it with my reaction.Stood my ground and smiled..I was there to workout ! It could be someones father,brother or son so I do not want anyone hurt for the sake of ego or words.Bottom line is I felt sorry for this person that I have known for a long time that holds a grudge ( of his own making ) that is years old.What a waste...I felt no anger but rather pity that people would want to live that way.Above all my time to myself is priceless and do not look at my workouts as an effort but rather a chance to rejuvinate.No one is worth allowing to spoil it.
