Shes just plastic

Shes just plastic she doesn't need to be nurtured or understood.

But we aren't plastic are we ? 
We enter the Dojo and take off our shoes 'to leave the dirt of the world behind us'. But when we leave that dirt is right there waiting for us isn't it.

Transfering this Dojo lesson to our own lives is tricky but it can be done. 

We hold on to toxic relationships out of the fear of letting go. Just like martial training there is more resolve required to let go than hold on. We say trust your block in class but in our head were saying 'but im gonna get hit'. Letting go is like a 'gut punch' every step of the way. Ghandi said, "I will not let anyone walk through my mind with their dirty feet"

We Fear Failure. Don't make it personal, seperate the failure from your identity. Release the need for approval of others, often our fear of failure is based on our fear of being judged or losing the respect or esteem of others. Dr Seuss says, "If you don't mind it don't matter".

We procrastinate. Recognize that your procrastinating. Re-prioritize make time for whats important to you. Get to the gym, plan your meals and portion, get to class ! You say your a warrior but your deadlier with your keyboard than your side kick, straight right , headlock or sweep. The trash won't take itself out of your kitchen or out of your life. ACT !!

We aren't plastic, 

we do need to be nurtured and understood

It starts by taking off your shoes and leaving the dirt of the world behind you, in your head and in your heart. See you in class.
