Today was a glorious day that was gone in a blink of an eye. Today we were not in yoga classes athough we did self practise (and I ran at the gym this morning too).
Actually, yes, lets start there with my day. So the oddest thing happened today at the gym that made me smile. Last night I was up late with homework so I slept in which was so wonderful. I went to the gym just before 10am. Being that it is Saturday, no one else was there at that time. So I went around and turned off all the TVs that were on and began my run. By the time I was finished my half hr run the gym was full but the TV's remained off. I was super excised for this. None of us were therefore exposed to all the commercials blasted at us through programs. In fact, there was no sound in the gym at all bysides all of us working out to the sound of our own breath. Being in yoga teacher training I LOVED it. It also made me realise how a customer we are to just going with it. We expect the gym to be loud and tvs all going with different programs. It was a great realisation and gift.
Today I was able to get my other lens sorted that I had to replace for my photography company. I am super excited to have that all done. I need to test the lens still but at least now I have it. It was weighing on me that I am not making any time to get things done in my main business. Often being self employed people believe that your schedule is totally open when in fact it is the opposite. I have had to push back all my photo deadlines when I arrived here in Miami and found out we would not have a single day off. It has been a challenge and even with me devoting all my attention to yoga I still feel behind on the text work. That and the fact that memorising science things like anatomy and sand script language is new. I haven't been a student in years but I am giving it my all.

OK, to other parts of my day. Took myself out for lunch which was a fun time for me to enjoy and connect with myself. I bought a couple things for myself on the walk back to the bus stop too which made for a giving experience to me.
I ate the best spaghetti squash ever for dinner made without Lane's help (but I did use his technique). I also got dressed today in real people clothes for the 1st time in 18 days. I have been wearing yoga clothes non stop but it is amazing how putting something else on can make your mood changed. I love love love yoga. Nevertheless, in the last 18day I have felt overwhelmed by yoga which is not what I expected at all. I have had terrible emotional break down moments and debt with a couple things in class that I really did not expect. I know it is all part of my journey and choose to be here. So today was a great day to take a step back and reflect.
Now I am listening to my recording of myself saying the yoga sequence as I write this blog. My list to complete today just for yoga were:
- Self practice ~ CHECK
- I need to finish my flash cards for sand script words ~ CHECK got those done: need to work on getting them in my brain now
- rewrite my shavasana meditation and my closing meditation ~ didn't get this done yet
- I also need to work on my memorization of the sequence ~ didn't get this done yet
- do more text book homework ~ only able to finishing chapter 5
- work on more memorizing of sequence ~ constant project
- food log ~ CHECK
- hours log ~ CHECK
So, a thing I like to do but need to break the pattern of is always packing too many things to try and get done in a day so I never feel accomplished. Lets make today be the last day of doing that. Need to put far less on that list or loose sleep. We all know I can't loose sleep. So, on that note, I am going to start getting ready for bed :) It's 11:35pm
Good night everyone. Back to yoga in the morning.
