Yesterday, I met with my mentor and we went over bolo form and 1st Dan self-defense. Afterwards, I assisted class with the Junior Tigers and the Senior Tigers, led warmups and then took class. There was some anxiety leading up to the PMA testing, but I feel like that for most tests. I did not feel ready and there was so much to learn in a short period of time. There are so many expectations from myself and others that I become quite overwhelmed. When that happens, I sometimes mentally shut down and it is like watching my body from the outside....not really feeling connected to that moment. Of course, it is temporary, I accept it and I just move on. I always try to take things as a learning lesson and then decide what to do from there. Now, off to the dojang, I go!
