I have no excuses!
I've been focused on everything else and haven't shared much about my yoga practice. I have still been teaching various classes here and there and my Power Yoga class at In-Shape is still alive and well. This year I have been upping my meditation game using the Insight Timer App and I've been keeping a gratitude journal. It's amazing how many things you realize you are grateful for when you sit down and just list them for awhile. The best result, or at least the most entertaining result, is that I have been turning complaining into gratitude lately. It might be slightly sarcastic at times, but it started on a run one day when I was feeling sluggish. I started complaining and as usual, it wasn't helping. Suddenly, I started talking instead about how "happy" I was and how much "fun" I was having. It may have started out sarcastic but as I started listing things I mentioned the fresh air, the green grass, the opportunity to run with my husband, and more. It felt like one of those experiences where you set out to prove why something doesn't work and end up becoming a believer. Positive mental attitude, fake it till you make it, that stuff is no joke!
So why am I suddenly here? 2014 has all the signs of an awesome year including the addition of a new yoga studio in Visalia! Painted Elephant Yoga Studio opened in March and I'm excited to start teaching some early morning classes.
