GETTING IT WRONG - Fucking up is a bitter pill to swallow, especially when you've put your heart and soul into something you love. But that's exactly what happened during our Red Belt Kata on test day. I felt totally connected and in tune with my team as we danced the Kata, and then something slipped; attention - focus - nerves, I'm not sure which but it evidently showed as we were asked to stop. Having kept my emotions in line for the whole day, this moment of constructive criticism from @cameronshayne sent me into a limbic state of panic and a return to my 5 year old self, and all I heard was I was "bad"....that our Kata was terrible. I completely shut off being told how we had smashed the first 3 sections. That they were so good that was why section 4 had showed up. We were asked to stop another two more times before finally getting to the end, where I cried my bloody eyes out! But as I look back, I am full of gratitude for being pulled on not being my best, for those hard words of truth being spoken, because that kick up the arse brought me back to the present moment and my lack of potential. Yes it hurt but I learnt just how much more I had to offer and what I was capable of, and that getting it wrong shows you how to truly get it right. #abiadamsmixedmovementartist #budokonfamily #BudokonBeast #redbeltkata @budokonuniversity #gettingitwrong #mindscience #energy #expression #yoga #martialarts #mobility #animallocomotion
