Trainings

I just wanted so write some quick thoughts and achievements from the last couple of days.

This Monday I was feeling bored at home so I decided to go out and train a bit by myself, so I went to the University. I ran a bit and warmed up, I decided to practice some precisions, I found some walls (about 1.5 meters tall) and I started jumping from one to another I started on a pair that are completely parallel and the precisions were quite easy so I moved to another pair of walls that are not completelly parallel so you can make some precision jumps from different distances, I was trying to make soft and noiseless landings and they were quite well, but then I found myself feeling a bit anxious at a certain distance... somehow I started losing some confidence and found some nice things frome this, I just tried to silence that strange voice in my head that started doubting... every time I had that feeling of fear I just remembered myself that my whole body knows how to jump, how to land... so I just trusted my body and every time I felt kind of reluctant I closed my eyes and "imagined" myself jumping, feeling the air, feeling the wall under my feet when landing... and that really worked. So in some minutes my brain was well aware of distances and my legs just knew by themselves how much I needed to jump... so at the end I got down of the walls and just kind of measured the final distance I was jumping, and I was surprised to notice that I've earned some distance from my apparent distance limit.

I was feeling full of energy so I started making some series of conditioning exercises.

Then as I had not much time I decided vaulting, but soon I found a stone and decided making some vaults landing on the target, so I placed it on the ground (I was not really aware of the distance.. this was kind of arbitrary) and started trying, the first attemps seem to be weak and I even though the distance was too long, but then I just decided not moving the target and to feel the movement instead of thinking, then the attempts became better, longer and more controlled, so then I felt quiet comfortable, landing softly and accurately on the target, I tried some other distances after that.

That was all... but I felt really calmed, and refueled =) It's quite amazing how our body works. I don't want that strange voice to keep on bothering, but sometimes it just appears, and I'm sure that everyone knows what I'm talking about... what I really mean is that sometimes we just need to stop paying attention to it and pay attention to our body and its abilities.

Today I had girls training and practised this too... the results?? more confidence when trying new movements or jumping to new targets... I went to a new place so I had no idea of what I would find there, but I felt a voice inside me... not that voice bothering and being afraid... but a voice telling me "Go for it, averything you need to do it is in you"
