Amituofo!
Since I moved I haven't been able to find my flow...
I noticed that not having a place of my own really gives me a lot of stress resulting in sleeping badly, feeling tired, not being able to follow my diet, not having sufficient time alone to clear the mind, spending a lot of time on looking for new houses and visiting new houses etc. etc...
My body also feels that stress. Passed weeks my hip/lower back is acting up again. My knee also does not feel well. No pain but I can feel something is not right there. Feels a bit swollen although I do not see swelling, and feels tired and sometimes slightly sore... like a muscle pain but then around the meniscus region (where I had the surgery).
To avoid ruining my body before the china trip I decided to take it easy a bit.
I will trian less on stamina and strength during lunch breaks for the coming weeks (will do more qi gong and stretching instead though). I also noticed that training more relax and focussing more on explosive power (which requires relaxation of your body parts) instead of neat moves reduces the pain in my hip/lowerback.
Last evening I tried to work on neatness again and immediately my hip/lowerback is more sore. So coming weeks I will train more training from relaxed body and flow and connecting the moves with my body, rather then neat moves and 'following' the desired 'external' appearance (by which I mean, doing it in such a way that it looks the same as others do, rather then following the flow from your body).
