Workday! I love working at the yoga studio, getting everything set up, seeing all of the students and the teachers, going through all of the tasks with intention, leaving the space ready for the next person to come in and do it all over again. I am thankful that my friend Anne put together such a fantastic system that allows me to be productive and helpful! Today I decided to be mindful of how I manage my emotions – if something wasn’t left as I expected, if the classes are letting out later than I expected, if questions arise that take me out of my set expectations, I did this because last week when things weren’t going as I expected it was obvious in my outside body and since Mike was taking a class, he read my emotions because they were clearly outside of my mind and interpreted them. Turns out he interpreted them wrong from how I was feeling inside but from how he was feeling. That was a powerful example for me to be mindful of how I let my thoughts turn into a physical reaction that others can ‘read’. Fast forward to this Saturday, which had lots of expectations unmet, I said one thing to Mike when I noticed ‘one thing’ but as they continued to build, I kept them to myself and handled them appropriately. Later I asked Mike “when you got out of class, could you tell I was annoyed?” to which he responded “No!” Yalllaaaahhhh I did it, now the task is to continue. Peace Begins With Me.
I was invited to attend a Galentine’s event with 3 of my friends – I love that we have been friends since our kids were in kindergarten, I think it’s been 22 years now – being held at a venue I pass on my way home from work. I said that I could “stop in” well, two hours later I left with some local ‘salves and balms’ I love a nice balm – I got one for my throat chakra (communication), a refreshing hand cream (since my hands were so dry from washing at work) when I used a sample it actually did refresh my skin, and two itchy sticks to give as gifts. There was another local vendor who handmade earrings so I got a pair for myself and one pair for each of my girls. I sat and visited with my friends, saw an old coworker from GEICO – I was talking about my dad when I saw my coworker from across the room – who used to work for him! I jumped up and gave her a big hug – I love how in this picture my hand is blurry because when I hug, I rub! HAHA! I’m not a fan of my own profile but I am a fan of hugging my friends. Bye for now!
