Great training thought, from one of our instructors in OH:

"In order to address this important area of training, we've institut ed ' WEAK HAND/ONE HAND' days.

Designate a single day, and do everything (except driving and other activities where there is a safety issue) one-handed. Get dressed, eat, sh ower, read a book, brush your teeth, work on your laptop, dry-fire practice, et al wit h only the opposite hand. Stick with it for the whole day! It is a quick an d inexpensive way to maintain and increase important skills. It compels body

and mind work together to overcome unfamiliar obstacles.

IMPROVISE, ADAPT, OVERCOME- FIND A WAY TO WIN. DON'T WASTE VALUABLE TIME DOING NOTHING MORE THAN LOOKING FOR AN EXCUSE TO LOSE. It is a character-defining attitude that none of us exercise nearly enough!=80

Comment: We all need to be doing this!
