As a instructor of a class I tend to take responsibility for how the atmosphere in the room is on any given day . Over time i have struggled will self doubt , self confidence , and most of all my own abilities to teach the content of the curriculum. Today something happened in my morning class that has changed my view of myself and the people who trust me, that stand in front of me twice a week and let me teach them. I really opened myself up and let them teach me. I let down my guard enough to be truly humble.
I found out lately I am suffering from anemia . It's nothing too serious but over time can rob you of energy or vitality. A month of iron shots has made a huge difference in the way I feel. So this morning standing in front of my class for the first time in years I truly wanted to participate.A few baby steps and I was again a student of Kung Fu, with my fellow comrades in arms around me, supporting me. Within minutes the entire class was in the " ZONE " Creative juices were flowing and everyone had a positive attitude.
I have to laugh at myself. I couldn't see the forest through the trees. They have been right in front of me for an endless amount of time and I have only truly seen them for the first time this morning.
Thank you fellow Kung Fu students. I truly feel connected again.
Linda
