Out of My Element

Here's what I've been thinking in the past few days...
You are your Kendo... Your Kendo reflects your own personality.
After my injury, I have been very tentative with my Kendo. I carefully try not to move too much, not to do anything too drastic or active, even during keiko or shiai. Paired with the advise that I got from my teachers that I should be focusing more on the mental aspect of my Kendo, my semme... With all these in mind, I've been trying to do focus on a more stationary Kendo, focusing on my mind instead of my movement. What I found was instead I haven't been able to 'flow' with my Kendo... I either waited too much or attack at the wrong time. I realize that I've been trying too hard to do Kendo that isn't me, out of my personality and out of my element...
This week, I started to train again. Focusing on leg strength and flexibility that will enable to me to move more fluidly and do the Kendo that I LIKE to do. While I am not a hyperactive person, nor I am the stoic and silent type either.
Without forgetting all the advises I've got from my senseis, rather than trying to do Kendo that isn't really me, I will instead try to incorporate them into my OWN Kendo... and let's see how this will turn out.
