Spent some time with a friend who teaches yoga and got some questions answered about studios here in Jacksonville. I’ve decided that I’m going to stay open to trying to some different places until I find what feels like a fit. I’m also stepping up my game and purchasing a better quality mat. I’m making some great steps forward and intend to go to a class this week. Also, got invited to a lunch with 2 former colleagues, 2 different jobs but they know one another. They are starting a project and want to include me in it. Don’t really know what it’s about yet. Just know it’s substance abuse related so I’m eager to hear more about it when we have lunch tomorrow. I will keep you posted. I’m always open to connecting and serving and these two qualities drive my interactions.
That’s exciting! So much good energy around your move to Jacksonville!
Good intention! I am still grateful for you showing me Yoga with Adrienne. I allowed me to get comfortable and confident enough to try out some classes. Now I am doing a Kundalini yoga I really enjoy. Things are going really well for me right now. Playing lots of golf, meditating daily, doing yoga and hanging with my/ my ex’s dog all the time. I did have a realization today, that although I am trying to be present and live in the moment, I am not always just enjoying the moment. I am much happier today than I have ever been, with myself, and the path in life that I am journeying on. But I seem to always be planning what is next and what else I have to do. As I sat on the beach watching my waiting for my dog I just stared at some rocks and realized how beautiful the setting was and how nice it was to just be there in that exact place at that exact time. I am going to try and focus on being aware of each moment good or bad. To not rush myself or focus on what is coming next. It is difficult for me as I am very plan orientated but I am going to try. I’m glad things are going well for you in Jacksonville!
Hi Chas. I don’t know you but i just wanted to say it sounds like you’re doing good work! Staying “in the moment” is no small task, so try not to be too hard on yourself. Have fun and celebrate your wins!
Chas, this all sounds great! I love yoga with Adrianne. Watching her videos is how I started to get comfortable with yoga too. It sounds like you’re on a good path. I agree with John, don’t be too hard on yourself.
Cool awareness Chas. Focusing more on connection to the present allows for less concern about future-tripping. Planning is okay. Planning can give direction. Letting go of the attachment to the plan is key. You so got this. You’ve made incredible strides since that first time we met. So proud of you!
Thanks everyone for the encouragement!
