Some pieces are finally interlocking. I start school in one week. Im signing a lease on Wednesday to small studio in Minneapolis that while tiny has some well loved features including a walk in closet and charming bath tub. Its nearby a park that I can see walking Mabel by and within walking distance is my favorite guilty pleasure chinese place. Im feeling fairly overwhelmed by the enormity of what I've decided to take on. Im trying to simplify and rationalize that its four things. Just four things.
Mabel, Yoga, School, Work.
All the rest is secondary, Im reorganizing my priorities and making Mabel number one, me number two, and my social obligations somewhere out there in the land of "when I get to it". I have decided on this commitments based on the importance they have to my life and realizing how much I've needed to get back to basics. In yoga lately the topic has been in simplifying our lives and functions in both a mental and physical way. I will be in a process of creating a safe haven and sanctuary within my studio starting the first week of September, Im excited to mull over every detail to utilize the small space and focus on that idea of simplicity. I want to create a space thats warm, happy, and joyous.
Im nervous about the fact my first three weeks of school will be spent in disarray and how I will handle this as Im couch crashing, dont have much to my name til student aid comes in and til I move into my apartment. Im trying to breathe and focus. Ive removed many many "I can'ts" from my life. I feel like my life has changed in ways I never imagined and the only times when things are hard is when I try and revert to an old role I've played in my life. I dont need to play into my past insecurities. By leaving and going through what I have, I feel like I have liberated myself from expectations from myself, I have given myself the freedom to make mistakes, to do new things, to explore things I had brushed off for myself, to grow, to succeed. Its a very powerful time in my life as Im funneling all my energies into creating a life for myself that is distinctly mine and only putting pieces in that serve a purpose.
This week I have two yoga events Im particularly excited for: candlelit yoga tomorrow with live music (!!!) I love how progressive and community oriented my studio is.. then the second event is the grand opening party on saturday that will have tarot readings and a photo booth as well as vegan food.
I can't wait to start posting pictures of my life, I must remember to take them! Im on the right path, just a few more weeks til it gels.
