Day 290 Intention ~ Don't Get Discouraged

Day 290 Intention ~ Don't Get Discouraged

The past couple months have really slowed down in my classes. Even some of my steady students for a couple years now have seemed to have evaporated into thin air. In my business, it's hard to make a living. It's also hard to not get discouraged and start beating yourself up when your class is suddenly empty. One week is one thing, but when it seems to be over a period of time, you start to question what you are doing. 

Granted, schedules change, the season has changed and heck, people have lives. I get this. But, as far as today goes, I am just feeling a little down about it. Negative thoughts and feelings tend to multiply once they are opened, so I am trying to not get discouraged and figure out what I need to do to get my people back. 

As soon as things are back on track, I will take a stance of everything happens for a reason, which I do believe. But, sometimes it's hard when you still gotta pay the bills. 

Til tomorrow...

Shanti,

Day 225 Intention ~ Take It In Stride

Day 225 Intention ~ Take It In Stride

Plans change. Things come up. Today was one of those days. The muffler fell off my husband's van, so he needed a ride to work. No problem. Then he informed me of an appointment midday that he had. Threw my work plans into the fire since I go work for friends about 50 miles away on Tuesday's. Then his phone wasn't working, so we spent an hour at the Sprint store. 

In the past, pre-yoga days, I may have freaked out and felt put upon in my selfishness that my day was getting screwed up, but nowadays, I just take it in stride. Sure, there are times I am stressed about things and can't seem to let things go right away. But more times than not anymore, I can take things in stride and realize the world is not going to come to an end & everything will be okay even with a change of plans. 

So, if you find yourself feeling stressed or upset because things haven't progressed in the way you planned or the way you hoped, try to let it be what it is and take it in stride.

Til tomorrow...

Shanti,

Marcia
