Mental

Ever since I was a kid, the one thing that always stopped me doing my best was my mind, I'm a pessimist, I always expect the worst. It always annoyed me, but thats probably because I was annoyed with myself for being annoyed.

And this mental block came to me with Parkour, I'm not fearless, I'm quite the opposite, I know I have the skill to do something, but if its something bigger, newer, I just get into the, I can't mindset.

It happend in Leeds, (I went on saturday, thanks to everyone that met me) but Alistair and Jamie helped me to get over it, there was this running arm jump and I was practising it, and I was getting a foot on it and a I knew I could do it, but I wasn't commiting. Alistair and Jamie helped me to commit, and I stuck it. I think I was in the wrong mindset but I managed to resuce myself, I intend to follow this through and as I know my limits I can do anything within them, nothing should be there blocking me, especially not my mind.

So, yep :)
