A Slight Improvement

Last night I stuck with BP76 since I spent all that time writing track intros and scripting cues. I have to say it was a bit better that Tuesday. I was more comfortable with the spacing of the cues, made it a focus to remember my Big voice, and a bit more fun emerged. I'm getting that it needs to be baby steps. I am done with 76, though, so tomorrow I'll begin the whole process again for another release. Makes it a bit challenging to mix things up though, but I figure as I get more "fluent" at this, I'll be able to mix easier and get through the whole process of writing and scripting so it doesn't take me as long. I tell you, as much as I love this program and am passionate about teaching it, it does take a huge commitment and dedication in order to do it RIGHT. Yes, I could just teach. I could just go in and out and not think too hard about what I'm doing, and just deliver a class that is alright. There are instructors like that.

Unfortunately, my personality is not going to allow me to do that. Not for a program I love so much. Sigh. I'm passionate about it and so I am willing to put in the time necessary to do it the way it was delivered to me. Until you go through the training, and actually put in the time to teach, you simply cannot know the amount of work that goes in to being a good instructor. I don't do this for the money. I don't do this because I need to work out anyway. It goes deeper than that. I do it because I love it. Because I want to change someone's life the way mine was forever altered. I do it because it's fun, it gets results, and it empowers me to try harder, to challenge myself and to keep learning. It never gets boring, and I'm never bored teaching it. This advanced coaching has just ensured that it will NEVER get boring - there's too much brain activity that goes along with doing this that there's always more for me to learn and experience.

I've got a pain, a knot in my left quad that is plaguing me. Last night during squats and especially lunges it was amazingly painful. I've rolled it out and have a heating pad on it. But ouch. I think it's because I had to shorten my lunge stance and as a result, they are harder and I feel them more intensely. Lovely :)

I'm wiped. Three full days of conferences and the last thing I want to do right now, at almost 11pm, is to script/cue/study. The countdown begins......my exam is a month from yesterday.

Good grief.
