Well said. Sometimes our inner thoughts are the most challenging. Recognizing it is the first step in overcoming it. You already have the drive and determination to not give up. Keep it up, buddy!

I think fear is normal. I experienced it during the black belt challenge. It can help to motivate you to practice and improve. You can just keep on working towards that goal and face that fear.

Good for you to take the first step. There will be many more steps. Just keep on doing one step at a time.

Yes ma’am! I will see you this Thursday for step 2 =o)

Take it one day at a time. Look at the challenge as an accomplishment every day every week. Little steps will eventually add up to big steps. See you in the dojo.

Amazing job getting back up on the proverbial horse, Liz! The most important part is to never give up and keep trying your best, which you are already doing. You got this!
