I am back after a long extended weekend of school and completed the trimester so I won't be taking any time off for school until May. So thanks for your patience and I hope to see you online.
I am so excited to be coming into my final trimester of school. Over two years ago I found this program for yoga therapy certification and after years of thinking about programs I chose this one also because it was a degreed program. It is a full time program and a big commitment. I haven't been back to an educational center in a long time and there were so many steps to take including sending transcripts, learning how education use software for school, assignments and writing APA papers. Needless to say things have changed since the 1990's! Still though I focused on one step at a time and before I knew it I worked through each problem and took the next step. If you keep going forward you you find yourself completing steps and maybe meeting your goals.
Sounds easier than it really is. More importantly it helps to enjoy the steps or process because if all you want is the end goal you are going to miss the experience. For many having many steps keeps us from the goals we want; we freeze up from ever achieving it but also maybe having regret that we never tried it.
So what kinds of things are you scared of but know that in your heart it would be satisfying and filled with purpose or meaning? Maybe sharing the answer to this question with someone you trust would be helpful. Maybe your feelings shift just by sharing. Other things to consider would be doing some research, asking mentors information and gathering clues along the way so you can explore new approaches. For me yoga and mediation helps especially when I am stuck with my thoughts and unsure of an action to take in my life. I get mental clarity by taking time away from my worries and fears and in my subconscious mind reveals solutions.
Below you will see up-coming workshops and if you are afraid or uncertain start out by saying that. How can you make steps to help yourself find satisfaction and peace? Maybe coming for half of the class and staying off line so you can just listen. Maybe coming to a sound bath meditation would help you feel less focused on your physical body. Think about the approach and what may help you take the next step.
In the meantime I hope to see you and if you don't make this week maybe sometime soon. "Have a good day for no reason!"
