Added 2022-08-10 09:36:37 +0000 UTCI overslept this morning. Needed to leave for class at 7. Woke up at at 7.30. Sat back down in bed and was about to think about acceptance, forgiving myself, using the for other things, etc.. Now - I HATE that 'Grind' mentality, and the people who espouse it (grifters) even more. But since we share this parasocial bond, I'll show you what I wrote on the train at 7:45. Spoiler -I went to class: I remember reading this thing in Guitar Magazine or whatever back when I was a metalhead guitar playing terror. It was in interview with some major lead/solo guitarist and the gist was "mistakes will happen and they risk you losing your confidence or somehow else getting in your head and 'winning.' So when you fuck up - do something. Hit the next note extra hard, literally move the instrument in a way that says 'down boy,' anything to remind you who's boss. Similarly, my K1 coach said "if you take a kick, it'll hurt. So don't just take it and say 'ow'. Give a kick back. Kick for kick. Use the feeling from getting kicked to immediately remind everyone you're still in control, top of the pecking order. Taking a bit doesn't mean losing. Self acceptance is good. Don't be too hard on yourself. But part of that is being strong enough to not let mistakes get in your head. They'll happen inevitably. Kick back. Kick for kick. (bonus non fight pic from last night if you made it through the whole thing ☺️)
