Off days are a reality of any practice.
Sometimes it’s necessary to walk away for a day. Rest up. Give
the practice a soft reset to realign focus, figuring how to start up again. It could
prevent taking a longer breaks that aren’t planned, or at least give something
else a bit of attention.
I feel guilty about not training.
But it’s okay, because I’m still working on some aspect of
my capoeira. It’s an aspect of my practice I didn’t realized need so much work,
but applying attention to the business is the only way to draw more students to
my classes. Empty class speaks to my business, and having no students doesn’t
let me work on my teaching.
This is something I never considered coming up in capoeira.
Learning how to run a business is not the same as training, working
on music, working on physique, and keeping a game strong. It’s different set of
skills that if not being practiced, aren’t growing. I learned this only recently
in the two years I’ve been an instructor. Mind you, this is only one part of
being an instructor.
Capoeira forces balance-- there is always something to work on.
