Calm

I’ve been very busy lately, with appointment lists filling most of my days and the remainder filled with research, grading and market research. The latter three have tended to spill into nights and weekends a fair bit as well. I’m in some serious need of calm. I was reading some kind of “women’s” magazine, where they present some kind of tàijíquán- (太极拳) tae bo mix that’s supposed to be relaxing. I’m sure it is, it’s just that I have trouble doing things some hybrid way without hearing my teacher say ” 过来! (guòlai!)” when my feet aren’t in line in a (potentially) award-winning classic style or something else is generally not Correct. But the idea is good, and I think I will try to do a 北京式 (Běijīngshì, a Beijing or 24-movement form) before breakfast. It should only take around 10 minutes anyway, I ought to have that much time each day. If I practice every day, my 气 (qì) ought to flow better and put me in better balance, and my concentration ought to in increase. I could really use better 气 (qì) flow. I’ve been working nights and weekends for a month and a half, and as you might imagine my sense of general balance is not very good, neither mentally nor physically. Some purposeful but calm movement might really help.
