Slow Going

Oh, what a week! 

It's been overly hot which I have found challenging to even think about exerting myself physically. In addition to the heat I've been recovering from an outpatient procedure that has messed up my schedule and routine. And to top it off I've been struggling with my quality of sleep, all resulting in too many 'rest days' this week! 

Even though I didn't make great progress this week with my numbers I still had some positive moments and outcomes:

With the hot hot weather I was motivated to adjust my morning routine and get out for a walk most days, which I very much enjoyed.

After 2 weeks of not doing any Yoga I actually made time for some this week. 

Dealing with a few grumpy customers this week reminded me to not take things personally. I don't need to take on their bad attitude, rushed or tired energy. I can instead treat them with kindness and empathy and apply that same kindness, empathy and understanding to myself and others when encountering challenging interactions. 

I did some more teaching this week in the Young Dragons class. I love being able to focus on a smaller group of students and sections of forms and am learning to adapt to the needs of the students. Towards the end of class a student from my group surprised me by putting his hand up and answering questions correctly. He had been more engaged than I gave him credit for. I learned getting through to a student may not be obvious in the moment or even present itself as the intended outcome.

Patience and Small Wins

I was finally able to get a 30 minute yoga session done this week. With a puppy in the house Ive been finding it challenging to free up time...
