Capoeira
Sports. One of the best things to clear your mind. For me, Capoeira is the best mix of coordination, fighting, thinking and music. Caporeira is not only a material art. It is a lifestyle. Within the past years I really felt how Capoeira changed my life. The sport gave me a focus for my energy and passion. It improved my way of thinking. Mestre Sorriso taught me how to see the things from another point of view and improved my understanding for other cultures. I learned to love the Brazilian way of thinking and doing: Think less and do the things from your heart.
Apart from that change of my personality, Capoeira changed the feeling of my body. Of course you get in shape but I earned more. I earned control, balance, anticipation and there is still much more to learn.
For almost four years I practice now. I had to stop several times. A broken leg, a torn ligament, pulled muscles, sprains and other small injuries. But I always continued. I couldn't stop doing this.
And finally I found a Capoeira group in Taiwan and started the training last week after eight weeks of pause. The muscle hangover is huge but the feeling is amazing. Call me masochistic, but I really enjoy this kind of feeling. The community of those people is very nice as well. They accept me how I am and we can share a lot of movements, experience and knowledge about Capoeira.

All the time I have here. All the thoughts I have, the work I do and all the feelings I have. All these things that happen. They really influence me more than before. I feel that I changed a lot within the last weeks. I discovered new sides of my personality and the reason for these. Sometimes it is a bit creepy to find out why you do things the way you do them. But all in all I think you only improve yourself as long as you learn and try to change something about those creepy things.
I would like to give an example but I think this is very private stuff and this is the Internet.
All in all I like the way I go, even if I'm desperate or depressed. In the end I will be stronger.
