Don't Hesitate...Keep the Momentum Going!

When it comes to fighting, living and making change hesitation gets in our way when we need to go with momentum. We hesitate when we are in fear, when we are uncertain, when we don't trust and when we aren't committed to what we started. In the fight game, I began to understand the potential pitfall of hesitation in my last fight. I felt myself holding back as I went to attack, I had this delay in action. I wasn't committed to some of my attacks. I wasn't letting go and using the momentum of my attack. I paused. I realized that I must always finish what I start. I must follow through on my attack, I can't just leave it hanging. As a fighter (and a person), it is essential trust and take action.

When we hesitate, we are holding back. We can find ourselves hesitating when we fight, in life and when we are making changes. We pause. Maybe it's because we don't believe in ourselves or our abilities, maybe it's because we aren't committed to what we started, or maybe we don't trust ourselves, we are uncertain, or simply in fear. When we hesitate, we lose the momentum that will propel us forward and unfortunately it can cause us to move backwards. In a fight if we hesitate we may end up getting back into the corner as we face our opponents momentum. In life if we hesitate we may find ourselves in situations we were trying to avoid. We must trust ourselves and our intuition. We must commit to what we started. We must find the courage and strength within to move forward and take steps, attack and keep the momentum going.

Momentum is a wonderful thing! We are moving forward, we are in motion, taking action, making strides. Whether our action is perfect or not is of little importance. The key is to keep YOUR momentum going. Not to get swept up into the momentum of another or your opponent. Everything in my life that I have accomplished has been a product of keeping my momentum going. All my steps no matter how small kept me moving. I didn't hesitate to take steps, actions, risks. I trusted myself and had patience.

Objects in motion stay in motion! This is true in the ring and in life. I have seen this proven true time and time again. In fact, just recently one of my sparring partners discovered the power of momentum. She discovered her ability to commit to her attack and it was transformative to watch her reach this point. She stopped hesitating and her sparring abilities enhanced! She began to use her own momentum and moved forward.

So where do you hesitate? Where do you hold back? Do you have things in your life that you have left unfinished? Do you hesitate in the ring? Do you allow your opponents momentum to push you back?
