Where am I? What am I doing?

I find that ever since I heard Sifu Brinker say the phrase "Where am I? What am I doing?" and ask us to keep this in our mind during our training. I seem to be asking myself that, all of the time in everything I do. I have become more mindful of what I am doing in my life and in my training as a martial artist.
I am becoming more efficient in the tasks that I do. I am constantly taking a look at my surrounding and saying in my mind “Where am I?” and then actually answering myself, then I ask “What am I doing” and I answer myself again. Then I set out and complete the task, not spending needless time thinking about what else I should be doing.
Since I keep asking myself that simple phrase, I have been finding more and more time to be practicing Kung Fu either physically or mentally. Especially when I am doing something in my day to day life, it is amazing how many forms, techniques, or combinations you can do while waiting for that steak, or eggs to cook. A chicken is a whole other work out on its own.
I have been finding that a person has a lot of free time in a day; you just have to know how to look for it. It is just as Sifu Brinker has been saying; we all have few minutes here and there of free time in our busy days, we just have to recognize them and use them wisely.

To Blog or Not To Blog ?

During last Fridays Sihing class Sifu Brinker informed all of us that it is now a requirement that we all start blogging, if we haven't already started. To me doing something like blogging is like going to the dentist and saying "No thanks to the freezing" before having that cavity filled. It is just not something that I feel comfortable doing. (Publishing my thoughts on the web “eeek!!”)
I spent all weekend worrying about doing this, having nightmares on blogging when I did sleep, most of the time I was just in a state of panic. To me this is a very large obstacle to get over and I'm not over it yet, not in the least. But this has been a big step; hopefully the next one will be easier, if I am not in a major state of panic.
