And now for the body:

So I blogged a bit about the soul yesterday and the battle armor that we construct around ourselves…and I want to delve more into that topic…but right now all I can think of is ‘OWW’. At least that is, the ‘oww’ I’m going to feel tomorrow after today’s fight training sets in.  It’s crazy how the more skilled I become at my strikes, punches, and blocks, the more it affects my ENTIRE body; the energy released during each blow vibrating and strengthening everywhere as the power originates from the core.

I could expand upon this theme as it relates to my professional life, but instead I’m just going to remind you that hard, focused work pays off.  And when you do achieve that something you’ve been working hard to reach, you should reward yourself.  

I told myself last summer when I first resumed my fight training, that if I got into the shape that I was envisioning (visualization-an important tool as we all know), I would buy myself the body conscious dress of all dresses: An Herve Leger.  There is really no hiding anything in dress and with it’s bondage/bandage styling, it’s pretty badass.

So I did:

Yup, meet my Xmas present and reward for reaching my goal :)

Now, if I can just figure out where my weapon goes I’ll be ready to tackle 2011.

Be back soon!
