youve got the blues and you cant be bothered completeing work that requires your mental strength, and usually when your feeling down u turn to trainig as a means of boosting yourself up again. But this time your not at training, your somewhere else, with different people required to complete different things, the place your in right now has nothing to do with martial arts.
so what do you do. How do u use martial arts to get you out of situtations where life is worthless and sickening and not worth living?
Hmm..why would you not be able to train? Even if you are out of town, find a secluded place and train! Start by stretching, shadow-boxing or working on a difficult line in a pattern. As your body starts to energize (heart rate increases), your mind will follow shortly. Use imagery that whatever is bothering you or giving you grief if the “opponent” and imagine it is the object of your intent - both physically and mentally.
The trick for most situations is to realise it is but a moment in our Life. We might dread or be afraid of some upcoming or past event, but that is giving power to negative thoughts. At times we are too emotionally caught up and unable to rationally fathom what might be the best course of action. I like to frame my mind in a thought that I HAVE to deal with the situation, but until I can - I say F-U-C-$ IT! I say it over and over whenever the thought or emotions become overwhelming. F it!
That word, for most of us, allows us a sense of relief. I actually use it as a mechanism for release. It feels good saying the word, at least for me. Perhaps some other word or sound works better for you. It is the act of verbalising that is important rather than the actual word. Try it. The analogy…out with the bad…in with the manageable 
If you can train, train! This gets your mind out of a rut. And it helps to refocus and replenish our energies. Training MAs is a great way to do this. Or go to the gym and lift…jog…listen to music and escape…write and purge; whatever works for you. Try different things.
If you’re down and out and stop - you have submitted. And that’s not acceptable. Continuing on is part of our learning. It should help in developing our coping ability. It’s a cliche, but true IMNSHO..what doesn’t kill ya, makes ya stronger. And that is what MAs should give us…strength of both Body and Mind. When we become unbalance to the point of despair, recognise it, work towards facing it, accept the consequences of facing it, and then just do it. Life is one big lesson. And you’re worth every ****ed step and drop of blood.
Well wishes.
