What's the plan?

Last week I blogged about my health and my journey this past year or so getting to this point.  As I stated, I have had to alter the way I approach my training.  This is still a work in progress, however I needed to break this down to keep everything organized.  

This what I came up with:

1. Physical requirements I can do at this given moment.
2. Physical requirements I can do at this given moment with modification.
3. Non-physical requirements.
4. Finding alternatives to physical requirements that I will not be able to for some time
5. Learning to identify, accept and overcome temporary limitations.
6. Accepting that there may be some things that I may not be able to do.

Through-out the years, I have come to realize that I am an "all or nothing" kinda guy.  Meaning, if I can't do everything and do it the way my ego dictates, I do nothing.  Obviously, that hasn't served me well. I have also realized I have a huge ego problem. Now I don't go strutting around flashing my six shooters, at least I hope I don't!  But I struggle with my own expectations of certain things and I feel like my forms, kicks, etc. should look and be like other students, instructors and martial artists. Now, I know that this isn't realistic and I know I should always be striving to be better, but my brain forgets that sometimes and the "all or nothing, right now" creeps in.

I will be working though and blogging about the above points in the weeks to come.
