So now it is December. Why does this matter to me? Easy answer, in my job world, Sept, Oct and Nov are chaos, I work in the automotive industry and the beginning of "Tire Season" (insert maniacal laugh here) starts in mid Sept and the weather dictates how busy I will be till the initial rush is over which is usually about now (early Dec). These three(ish) months account for over 60% of our annual business so to say it is an important time would be understating the obvious. This rush can be one of two things, chaos and freaking chaos. Almost every single person is in a panic and it is my/our (our = my staff and I ) job to de-panic them. Plus the end of Nov is my yearly inventory which accounts for a very large amount of my yearly wage so I need to pour everything I have into it. This period of time can and usually is mentally and physically all consuming for me. I liken it to juggling snow flakes in a wind storm. So now it is December, ahhhhh, I can breathe. The snow flakes are no longer ominous but pretty again.
Being that it is now December, I am able to shift to a different mindset. It is almost relaxing for me. Christmas parties, family get togethers, just the season in general, love it. It may seem busy but it is a Gooood busy.
I can now refocus on my Kung Fu as well, no blurred mind from work, no physical exhaustion from truckloads of tires and batteries and body panels and rims and..... I can already feel myself being recharged and I looking forward to channeling that renewed energy towards my forms. It is a breath of fresh clean air. From over stimulation to chosen stimulation. And as grading day and the banquet both approach very quickly, I now have the time and mental energy to devote much more time to both. I am really looking forward to the next few months to see what I can accomplish.
