learning

I realised that it's really hard to get rid of bad habits. Even though I believe I make progress things that I don't do correctly or think correctly won't just disappear completely, at least not for a long time. For example, I used to use my shoulders too much when raising my arm when executing a technique. At some point I noticed that I didn't need to use it so much.

I was thinking a bit more about the 7th point of the previous post while cutting a couple of shomenuchis in our room: "Do something that makes you feel better". If this is part of a pattern that is associated with negative thinking and with - wrongly - focusing on what we don't want then there should be at least two types of activities that make us feel better.

As I promised earlier, with my blog posts here I try to follow the posts written in my two other Hungarian blogs. This is the first such post, and I'd like to write here quite often from now on. I'd like to invite you to discuss and think about things inspired by quotes from O'Sensei. I'd also like to share my own thoughts with you to start the discussion.
