Happiness

Let's talk happiness today.

So first things first you right there... yes you! I'm talking to the beautiful person reading these words on that screen right there in front of you. You may even be able to glimpse a reflection in the screen. You are beautiful! You are your own version of perfect. A simple yoga stretch I recently learned is take the corners of your mouth and stretch them up toward your eyes. Sometimes we all just need to remember to smile.

I woke up one day shortly after the start of the new year thinking about things that make me happy. And after reading an inspirational quote on Instagram. I started thinking about them more. I made a list of these things that bring me joy and happiness.

I adjusted my list to include more yoga. For that past two months I have been working on Yoga Camp, which is a 30 day yoga camp. However I took my time with it. I did not complete it in 30 days. On my days off from yoga camp I would study my yoga anatomy book.

The saying goes think of what you really want to do, the thing that makes you most happy and work on that thing every day.

Here is my list. Yoga is at the top.

I've been working on it every day. On days I take off I am thinking about yoga or sliding yoga into conversations. Furthering my knowledge of something that I feel I am passionate about. 

Happiness is what you make it. Go out and make it! Your yoga practice is your yoga practice. Go at your own pace. Find what feels good for you and go with it. And remember to smile. Life's only what we make it.

It took me a little while to get through this post.

I was struggling with happiness on some days.

The weather has been an unfortunate contender these past few weeks.

Just when I thought we would soon be seeing better weather for good temperatures began to drop and rain was turning into snow. Snow accumulated to 3-4".

Opening day for the Indians got delayed until midday the next day.

Even though it was a beautiful day it was still cold.

It ended up being a good day.

The weather is being a temptress and I don't know how I feel about it.

I just can't wait to be outside again.

Namaste.
