Step Back, Reflect, and Realign

Oscar AgramonteWah Lum

Kung Fu and Tai Chi teach us the value of reflection and intentional action. 

This month, I challenge you to carve out a few hours to step back, reflect, and realign your focus.

Here’s how:

  • Find an inspiring space (a park, a quiet coffee shop).
  • Bring a journal and pen—no devices!
  • Spend time thinking and writing about the bigger picture of your life.

Start with these questions:

  1. Are my daily actions leading me toward my goals—or off course?
  2. What do my actions say about my true priorities?
  3. If my life were a movie, what would the audience be shouting for me to do?
  4. Am I focusing on meaningful goals or getting lost in busy work?
  5. What beliefs should I challenge to grow stronger?

Give this some time, and see how it transforms your mindset. 

Small shifts now can lead to profound changes later—just like a single degree in a kung fu or tai chi stance can make all the difference!

Let me know what insights you uncover—I’d love to hear from you!

There’s No Such Thing as Failure, Only Feedback

Turning Setbacks into Stepping Stones

Setbacks happen. But here’s the secret: they’re not failures—they’re feedback. It’s all about how you respond and grow.

Step 1: Normalize Challenges

Feel off track? Distracted? Stuck? That’s normal! What matters is taking action to move forward.

Step 2: Growth Mindset Strategies

  • Remind yourself: Every setback is just feedback.
  • Take one small action to get back on track.
  • Change your environment to improve focus.
  • Get support—ask a friend, an instructor, or send us an email!

Step 3: Learn and Grow

Treat challenges as opportunities to refine your approach. Each one offers valuable lessons.

Your Challenge

This week, notice your setbacks and reframe them as feedback. 

Take one small step forward and keep learning. Growth isn’t always easy, but it’s worth it.

Let’s make this week about progress, not perfection!
