One thing I truly enjoy about judo, is it gives me 2 hours where I don't have to think about anything having to do with normal, everyday life. I can focus on a specific technique, different gripping sequences, moving a certain way, challenging myself.
Though it is sometimes difficult to force myself to get up and go to practice, I truly enjoy the time when I'm there. It's my outlet from the stress, grind, anxiety, and sometimes helplessness of everyday life.
I love the feeling of not thinking--just sweating, working technique, and focusing purely on winning a match or perfecting a throw or move. If you don't know me, know this...I normally NEVER stop thinking. My brain is ALWAYS churning a million miles a minute. So to have that 2 hours of nothingness is an amazing, peaceful thing.
It also doesn't hurt when you've worked your ass off, sweat dripping off if you, completely exhausted by the effort you've put in. It's a very satisfying feeling.
