Noah has taken to waking up to pee at 3am and then going back to sleep. Which means of course I take him to the bathroom and then lie awake for a long time. Sometimes I get up and do some meditation and then some Kung Fu. I don't go out to the park. I usually start inside and then move to the deck. There isn't a whole lot more space but I think being outside makes a difference, if only mentally and spiritually. Why don't I go to the park? Well there is always the chance my kids will wake up and wonder where I am. Plus I'm just worried that people will suspect me of something. There's usually not anyone around, but you know how people are.
That means I can't really get into it. I can to intense stance training, but not intense moving stance training. Which is probably just as well. I just do a little bit, to get things moving, to make myself feel like I did that practice, breathed that chi gung breath and I usually stop to find myself standing because my mind has wandered and the truth is I am tired. I just can't sleep. My mind is racing for some reason.
After all, I can always do some moving stance stuff later. Maybe I should make a habit of it. To do A little bit of moving stance stuff everyday. Not a lot. Just 10 minutes or so. maybe 15. Instead of trying to practice in the playground I should just bring Jonah to the park, a field area and doing a little bit of moving... and then move on to the playground. He would like it. I don't have to get all into it either. I can still talk to him or play with him. It's always better to just start with a little. A little is more than nothing and the truth is too much can get you injured or put you in a mental place that you don't need to be if you are watching your child.
