It's been 5 months since I've started inline skating. My boots, power slide zoom pro 100, has been working pretty good. The wheels are getting worn out, which means I practice every morning. I do practice gliding, braking, c-turn, cross-over, backwards and parallell slide. None of these skills are not still easy to me. But, recently I am finally able to glide/ on my spread legs. My goal, is to go out for street skating/ in this autumn season. To do that, I should practice for how to brake way better. Today, I brought a roller board for my cross-over practice. But, I was not even able to hold it/ on my skating. So, is it because the roller board is too long or I'm not still comfortable with my posture? I took this video with a PIVO silver, which is auto tracking device following a target. Now, I am happy enough to make videos of my movements without asking someone to help me. Recording my movement seems pretty important to know where I should adjust for better skating. I hope I can be confident enough/ to go wherever I want/ with my skates within this year. This is my video today. https://youtu.be/Gj6IMkOf53A

These days I meet a lot more people that I used to do. One of the reasons is that I want to improve my spoken English. Second reason is probably that I want to interact with people. I am a HSP(Highly sensitive person) which is related to introvert. I would think that my personality had some serious problems for socializing. But, I realized years ago, my personality is so powerful. I can express myself as if I am extroverted. A true extrovert cannot pretend to be an intrvoert easily. Even though it is exhuasting to act like an extrovert, I feel meeting new people in person is still meaningful somehow. My hearing issue, which is nose deafness on my left ear, occured again when I tried to join a choir last week. I really wanted to learn music, specifically how to read music notes and hear verbal sound better. Now, I feel I am stuck with the fact that my chronic issue cannot disappear easily. So, I am unwillingly giving up to stay in the choir. My English journey has been 15 years. Understanding English sound is still my most challening project in my life.

It is lunar new year's holiday in Korea. It is also a snowy day. I don't have any plan to meet anyone unless someone calls me out. So, I have been studying English and watching videos instead.

Today I atttend my 14th Alexander technique lesson. This is about realiziing my mind and body separated through many years. My treacher trys socalled 'hands on' technique for me to aware of my habits. We practice very simple body movements including standing and sitting on the chair. When we find some points that have seemed to influence my life, he gives me specific verbal directions to get better position and mind state. This has been pretty meaningful lessons because it can apply to almost all kinds of my daily life. He is going to guide me how to make sound lying on my belly today. I hope it can help to improve my efficacy.

Have you watched Squid game in Neflix? Honestly, I haven’t. I just overheard that the show is a big hit recently. Why don’t I usually watch TV shows? It is because I don’t have enough time to watch all the episodes. Second, I don’t feel good when celebrities make money while they act poor things. It is irony that the richer you are, the more you can enjoy the show.

Hospital workers sometimes doesn’t seem clever enough to manage their own health issues. It is probably because their mindset is not flexible enough to fairly new concepts. For example, most people related to medical industry still believe that salt is the root of many symptoms such as hyper blood pressure, kidney malfunction and so on. Personally, I experienced the power of mineral salt for the last several months. Salt eliminated not only my chronic inflammation with big part of my pain on my body, but also increased my stamina. Today, one of the nurses said, she has diabetes then has to control it with many ways. But, she never mentioned how salt works on her body and kept saying sugar intake was the main cause for her issue. Even though she was worried about her body, I could not say that salt would help a lot for her. It is because I am just a student and I don’t want to make any conflict in her expertise. I hope she will find a better way to solve her issue anyway. ‘The salt fix’ was definitely one of the life-saving books as well as ‘the salt men’.

These days I feel that people are more afraid of making new friends for many reasons. One of them is that we cover our face. It makes us be frustrated with facial interpretation and we have started to lose that function as human beings. Second, we have less opportunities to make physical relationship with others than ever before. Then, our mental and physical health can be seriously degenerated. Human body is designed to be well-being while we have enough physical contact. A proved psychological theory say that infants can’t survive properly in a non-touching environment. I personally enjoy being with myself though sometimes I wonder where we are really going.
