Activity
For October, despite being a very busy month, I had to squeeze out some time to practice basketball. I began with conditioning myself on daily basis and did shooting and dribbling drills every other day. Everyday basketball would take around 2 hours until 5. This experience taught me about “balance”, back then, I felt like being balanced is fairly simple and easy, and I felt like I was a balanced person because I participated in different activities, I was filling my time with different things so I felt good. but moving into senior year, being balanced is also finding that inner peace and not let that sense of anxious urgency disrupt your flow, for example, during this month, I found it difficult to not think about grades and all the due assignments when playing basketball, I found it extremely hard to just give 100% on the court because it feels like something more important is still there. I asked my coach for advice because I really felt like struggling and even considered to stop training for the tryout and quit basketball team, but after a short conversation, he and I both believed that this would be good experience for me to learn how to actually be balanced so eventually I decided to continue. I’m still not really good at doing this because sometimes I will just give up a task to priotize the more important one, and I think that’s when a lot of problems will start occuring.
