There are days (or weeks) that things are going just fine. Things feel good. No major issues. And I'll really feel as though I'm making some headway.
Then BAM...I suddenly can't do a side-heel without stumbling...a roundhouse without flailing...or a spinning back kick without falling over. And I've been working on my spinning back kick, specifically, pretty regularly since August 15 (yes, I know the date...lol) and it's been feeling decent-ish. Then suddenly, for no apparent reason, it all falls apart. This morning I felt like it was my first ever attempt at one. Nothing worked. I was all over the map and couldn't pull myself back.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling frustrated. But I'm trying to also convince myself that I'm getting there. That this is part of the process. That there will be backs and forths, ups and downs, the whole entire journey, forever and ever.
For now I will just stop and breathe and accept that this is where I am right now in the process. And I'll go at it again tomorrow. Hopefully I can make it decent-ish again.
