(no subject)
when i went to bed last night, i knew i wasn't going to want to go to yoga this morning. i was so tired last night and the thought of sleeping in was strong. i set my alarm anyway and woke up with a slight headache, along with the nagging thought that i'd feel badly about myself if i didn't get up and go. so i climbed out of bed, showered, and dragged myself to yoga despite myself. and i'm so glad i did.
i think i posted after a class or two ago that i finally felt present in the moment and not somewhere else. that carried through in today's class and i set my intention at the beginning of class as acceptance - self acceptance to be more precise. the awareness that came to me today is that i'm a bit of a risk taker. whether it's going somewhere alone, doing something i haven't done before, exploring somewhere i know little about, etc., i tend to push myself just a little bit (i'm not talking crazy extremes here - that was more a part of my past than my present) and then bring myself back in. that's one way i become present in the moment and feel alive.
not much else to say. no big ah-ha moment or anything, just a small self-realization.
i'm spending the rest of my day doing boring, regular, every-day life things like cleaning, laundry, and taxes. blegh.
next weekend will be a far cry from all of that though! sooooo looking forward to winter music conference. here's a link to the party we're flying down to miami for: http://www.ultramusicfestival.com. i can't believe i get to hear carl cox (spinning the classics, no less), richie hawtin, josh wink, RITM, pete tong, donald glaude, andy c (can i get a HELL YEAH!), ed rush, dieselboy, AK1200, dara, and photek all in a two day period. there's only one dj i love who's not going to be there (dj hype). i'm so excited about this party i can barely contain myself. even if half of those people have a bad day (which is so unlikely), i'm still likely to hear more good music than i've heard in a llllooooonnnnnnggggg time. can't wait, can't wait, can't wait! =)
