Activity. Reflection 1 - Approaching the splits
Table of Contents
A brief summary⌗
Having read the “About me” section, you should know that I did karate for almost 7 years of my earliest childhood. Contrary to popular belief, it wasn’t merely about fighting, but primarly about athleticism
. We did a lot of gymnastics, stretching and so on at the time.
I am still very flexible because of that. However, when I quitted, I stopped stretching entirely, losing the ability to do the splits. Nevertheless, when I got my disease diagnosed, I was forced to go back
and exercise
regularly. I wasn’t complaining though, and I even set my goal - to do the splits once again. And that’s where I put my effort into each time I exercise.
The emotional outcome⌗
I have to admit I am proud of myself. I’m gradually going ahead with my plan and I see it finally paying off. Besides, I really enjoy the process. It’s just sheer happiness
when you can, in a way, “time travel” to your childhood and once again be this little
, full-of-energy
kid with these vivid dreams. Moreover, it winds me down, helps to deal with an awful lot of stress everyone experiences on a daily basis.
