I'm late on reading this and responding, but this is a powerful and insightful post, William. From your push-up regime in the last post, I know you're well on your way. I have every confidence you'll achieve your goal and earn your new wardrobe!
Not surprisingly, William, I am late to reading this post. My female warrior training involves kitchen knives, guitars, microphones, flutes, keyboards, and the occasional drum kit.
All joking aside, you seem to be coming around to more "tonic" being/thinking/doing after leaving your previous situation and relocating to the family farm, as difficult as I'm sure that move was. The following quote pretty much sums up your article, and I would advise anyone seeking "confidence" to refer to it:
"The warrior is great for cutting through the bullshit, the lies we are told, the lies we tell ourselves, the narratives in shadow that drive us to places we should not go. "
I'm going to find a place in Part 2 of my Tonic Masculinity posts to link to this article of yours. Your writing is both universal and personal, and I will find a way to bridge the two realms in my own female warrior way.🗡🦁💖
That dance is known as 'shadow boxing' in boxing and 'kata' in karate. Its power is not to be underestimated if done properly.
