Becoming a yoga teacher and other daydreams

Bucket list: become a yoga teacher

I thought of it as a pipe dream. After struggling with endometriosis for many years and finally getting better, I decided it might indeed be possible. I don't know whether I'll ever really be confident enough to actually teach but I will be a registered yoga teacher!

Don't give up on your dreams. They may have to be altered. They may not live up to your expectations. But it's better to try than to never know.

Don't let the water in your ship

All is a miracle.

Cookies and creme shake

Want a healthy treat? Try my concoction for a cookies and creme shake:

One scoop Jay Robb vanilla egg white protein powder
1-2 tsp almond butter
A handful of dark chocolate chips
1 to 1 1/2 c Silk unsweetened cashew milk
Ice

Blend and enjoy.

There's plenty of room for you to adjust to your own taste- more chocolate, more almond butter, etc.

I like that Jay Robb uses stevia instead of more synthetic sweeteners. And dark chocolate and almond butter is good for our health. Filling, sweet tooth satisfying, quick, and yummy!

Mantra of the day

Life is too short to be unhappy.

Life Is Beautiful

It's so easy to get bogged down by life's pressures, demands, insecurities. The thing I like about meditation is it reminds you look above all that. To remember that life is short and we should live it as we would dream it should be in the here and now.

Meditation doesn't have to be a formal sit-in-this-position type of thing. Simply sitting outside and listening to the birds chirp and the wind whispering in the trees and focusing on the here and now can be a powerful meditation. Taking a stick and drawing nonsense in the dirt can be a meditation. Staring blankly at a beautiful painting or photograph (like in those funny moments where you realize you've been staring blankly inadvertently at a stranger without realizing it...) can be a meditation. Taking a moment on the commute home as you listen to music or the sounds around you to breathe in a moment of peace.

Take a moment today and remember Life Is Beautiful.

Take delight in something today

 



“Nothing in the world is permanent, and we’re foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we’re still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it.”
― W. Somerset Maugham

 

"Teach us delight in simple things And mirth that has no bitter springs; Forgiveness free of evil done, And love to all men 'neath the sun!" (Joseph) Rudyard Kipling
