I’m about to start something that I didn’t anticipate for the New Year. And, I’m fighting the temptation to back out.
I went to a fantastic yoga class in December and came home resolved to make sure I made more time for yoga. I logged on to my yoga studio’s website to book more classes and there it was – a 200 hour teacher training opportunity. Shivers. This is what I need to do, I thought. A true gut feeling. I told my husband and daughters. They agreed. I was feeling great, excited, determined. Then, of course, I showered and got back to my To-Do list and realized the 200 hour yoga idea was crazy. To many other things to do. But an hour later? I saw the yoga studio owner while running errands. Shivers again. A sign. With my throat in my mouth, I mentioned I was thinking of about the teacher training.
Here’s the thing – when you ask for the signs, you can’t ignore them. It’s one of my rules for the year. I’m going to work on paying attention.
That was two months ago. Teacher training starts this weekend. And I don’t have the time. I have two sizeable deadlines looming. I’m not even close to the shape I wish I was in to begin this. Can’t do a full boat and do Chatarunga on my knees. I’m not even sure I want to teach yoga. I have every reason to back out and stay home. It’s what I would normally do. But, guess what? I’m going. I’m going to stop ignoring the signs.
What are you doing differently this year?
