Unproductive

 There is a certain feeling someone gets after being unproductive for extended periods of time. It could be hours, days, weeks, or even months. Now this varies by profession, but for us as martial artists. When we get sick or injured we can instantly feel unproductive if we are unable to train. This is what happened to me this past week. I was sick and too weak to train without it not being useful. It was almost like a mini depression started since I was just so unproductive and I could not really do anything. I couldn’t even read since I was coughing all the time and I just couldn’t focus on one thing at a time. I’m just glad to be back to normal almost and I can’t wait to start being productive again.
