Its Part of the Process

Martial arts is a difficult road. Often you simply can't see progress within yourself. But that doesn't mean progress isn't happening. 

There's no doubt training is hard physically, but it’s most difficult mentally. Make no mistake, the things you must do to succeed are repetitious and boring! But here's a little secret... everyone gets bored! But what the successful know that others do not is that boredom is part of the process. 

Successful students know that they must learn to appreciate the process. They know that boredom is a big part of that process in which they must learn to work through. 

If you can begin to grasp this, you can learn to accept that there isn't anything wrong with getting bored in your training. Its natural. And most importantly, there isn't anything wrong with you or what you are doing.
