My woman and I had planned on going camping this weekend. The other day though, we discussed it and I thought we were not going.
Well I wake up this morning and she asks me, "Are you ready to go camping?"
Instant stress accumulates my body and my blood starts to flow. I love being sporadic and I love doing things, but I HATE not being prepared. Where's the tent, wheres the sleeping bags, wheres the cooler, wheres the ice, wheres the fishing poles, wheres the food, who's cooking, whos all going, etc etc etc. I hate being "that guy".
"That guy" is the guy that never prepares so he's always borrowing things so he can barely survive out there. We are going with her entire family, so its not about just our immediate family. Its everyone there to witness this ordeal.
Okay, so now the stress is gone. What about working out? What about practicing martial arts. This is four days. Four days without my fix of my habits I am going to die out there.
These are the things I think to talk myself out of going, but in the end I will go to make her happy. I will enjoy myself. Why do I stress myself out?
I will train on simple movements and make my own kata while im there.
