To be honest, this year has been absolutely devastating for me. I have suffered the loss of a parents, health issues, and rejection from a path I desperately want to go down. At the culmination of all of these things, I am left questioning my direction and my motives.
A fault of mine is becoming very enthusiastic and motivated about changes. The downfall is that I attempt to make lasting changes in multiple capacities all at once and I quickly burn out. In an attempt to not do that this time, I am challenging myself to focus on three things each day. The same things, that is.
Each day, I feel I would benefit mentally, physically and creatively from the practice of yoga, writing, and playing the banjo (I have been teaching myself for the last 6 months). It would be easy to say that I will devot 20 minutes per day to each activity, but I know that it would quickly fall by the wayside.
So, per the advice of a very wise and inspirational friend, I am going to be keeping a blog to hold myself accountable for doing these activities on the daily. I am not even sure what you will find here. I will be exploring many themes: what I want to be doing with my life; accomplishing goals; essays about books I am reading; playing the banjo; reflecting on grief and life, etc.
The blog will serve as my accountability partner, and you guys can participate in that too if you feel so inclined. Just know that I ALWAYS have wonderful excuses ;)
I did yoga this morning and boy was it nice to find myself on the mat again. I hate that I have gotten out of my daily yoga routine, but I am looking forward to listening to my body and getting stronger in my practice.
I am off to practice banjo now. Here is a short video from a few weeks ago. Just doing a little jam with a great friend of mine.
Thanks Nichla ;)
