Gotta Journal More

Because of my sleep cycles, I keep forgetting to journal. I told myself to journal before I went to work last night, Now I’m at work during my lunch break doing requirements and journaling because I know I’ll forget to do it last night.
I guess it’s cause it feels like I didn’t do much. I woke up 4pm, took care of my animals, cleaned up a bit and ate. Then I went to work at 6pm.

But then I have to remember that I was actually up until I went to bed at 8ams. Before bed I went for a run. I did double my requirements to make up for not doing any Sunday.
Anyways I need to remember to journal more. Every day counts.

Today I made matcha tea for the first time. I'm excited to keep working on it and trying different recipes. I really want to work on enhancing my drink making skills (coffee, tea, etc.). While I was drinking it, I find a few videos on YouTube on how improve the flavor and different add-ons.

I worked on poomsaes using the Kukkiwon Youtube. I only review Il, Eh, and Sam.

Ms. Suzanne and I worked on hopkido 4 last Saturday with guidance from the Grandmaster Lees demo video and in person guidance from Instructor Jen. I didn't think I could learn hopkido from reviewing videos, but after watching hopkido 5 today, multiple times, I feel comfortable with the steps. I'll still need to practice it in person and with an instructor for technique, but at least I'm more familiar about it. Hopikdo it not my favorite thing to practice, so learning it can be a bit overwhelming.
