Day 3,614

Growth:

Control what I can control. As frustrations and challenges appear remember that they are without context – I determine if they are frustrating or opportunities to learn and grow (or both!). Take a deep breath, zoom out, see the issue as if it were happening to someone else, without emotion, remember that in the big picture it is likely trivial, and act accordingly. Our attitude is the only thing in life we truly have control over, speed bumps are opportunities to exercise that muscle.

Appreciation:

Yoga, beautiful yoga! As life’s pace changes next year the addition of multiple yoga sessions each week will definitely be life changing! No matter where my mind is prior, during yoga the self eventually gets blown up, replaced only by the present. In that moment of breathing, sweating, twisting, stretching, and holding there is no space for stressors, no space for distraction. As the practice goes on the self slowly fades to the background, replaced by breath. Such a wonderful way to work out the mind, body, & soul!

Presence:

The feeling of total absorption on a project for a client, working through the best possible solution based on their unique challenges and a unique combination of strategies. Turning off the outside world to stay focused in that one singular task, getting into a state of flow.

Thanks!!!
