Being kind to yourself. Maybe not the type of thing you usually read at this time of year, which seems to be more about facing your faults and making New Year resolutions to change. However I would like to suggest that these changes should come from a place of kindness and not one of judgment. […]

8 ways to live a more joyful life.
Find joy. Find joy in the small things as often they are the big things.
Do yoga. Connect to yourself daily. Don’t neglect your yoga time for practicality like ironing. The benefits of yoga will last so much longer and effect more parts of your life.. Maybe wake up earlier or schedule in a break through the day. Personally mine happens immediately on waking or just before bed! Then sometimes in the day too. Make your mat your lover….spend quality time wherever possible connecting, exploring physically and emotionally. Sweat and relax together. Allow yourself to be together without guilt knowing that time spent together will improve so many other parts of your life. Find a local yoga class that suits you or book some individual yoga sessions to learn to develop your own practice.
Learning to open to life with yoga
Being vulnerable…. isn’t it part of being human. We are breakable physically & emotionally. This pretty package that contains our soul, this mind that directs our actions, both are vulnerable. Maybe that’s why we are so scared of being vulnerable because we recognize how easy it is to break?
I have promised myself to show up every day and truly live. I feel I need to learn to let go, to feel vulnerable to allow myself to feel happiness and joy.
I plan to be more spontaneous and less fearful of letting go (if it’s not a contradiction to plan spontaneity?!). I will open my heart to possibility and trust that vulnerability isn’t such a bad thing. I will practice affirmations about bravery and openness. Expanding my mind in meditation & playing on my yoga mat with balances and stretches.
I will be brave and allow myself to vulnerable. I want to truly live my life and feel joyful.
Questioning my yoga
Again and again I appreciate how lucky I am to live the life I lead. Recently a student asked me to help with her college business studies by answering questions about my little business. These included the obvious enquiries into time management, skills required, why I decided to start the business and potential problems. These along with such questions as whether I socialize with clients, & whether it’s beneficial to business, has luck affected my business and how do I stay motivated all allowed me the opportunity of asking these questions to myself as well as answering then for her!
The question
Have you learnt anything really important since you started running your business?
Yes. To believe in the impossible, to dream & to follow those dreams and to appreciate & be grateful for everything you learn.
