My Best Of…

I love the idea of taking small steps to meet your goals. I spend a lot of time getting bogged down in overwhelm and it’s nice to see how other people take big projects and break them into small pieces to get them done. The most important step is giving ourselves permission to start.

Do you ever suffer from not being able to sleep because you can’t turn your head off? I do. Here are some great tips for getting back to sleep.

I love this breakfast post from The New Professional. Do you have any breakfast tips?

Are you interested in starting your own Happiness Project? It’s not too late!

Saturday Senses is a way to capture the spirit of each week. 

tasting ::  an apple a day.

hearing ::  – a class favorite – everybody passes gas .

smelling ::   massage oil.

seeing :: lots of students smiling at the end of the week. hooray for p.a.t.!

feeling ::  tired. thank you, insomnia.

wishing/hoping :: for restful sleeps and a return to a somewhat motivated state of being.

What about you? What are your senses this Saturday?  Looking back, how was your week?    

{comments are inspired by Havi at The Fluent Self – Friday Chicken – go see for yourself. it’s like free therapy! }

This weekly tradition was inspired by Pink of Perfection’s Five Sense Friday.

Yoga+Music365 (day6) – Flower of Avalon by Tracy Grammer

I slept horribly last night. It was hard to turn off my head and fall asleep. I woke up several times and had a hard time turning my head off to go back to sleep. The alarm went off way too early today. Needless to say, the adrenaline of returning to school has gone.

Self-care?

Ugh.

All this self-care mindfulness is working!  Rather than sitting on the couch waiting for bedtime to arrive, I went to a yoga class and a walk with a friend. So thank you readers for getting my butt off the couch.

Yoga = Kim at It’s All Yoga – (check out the “Word of the Year”). Check out the comments and leave your word of the year.

Kim reminded us that our practice is a good way to witness our thoughts and patterns. We were working on balance poses today. She kindly reminded us to not get too attached one way or the other to the outcome.  So nice to have someone telling you again and again what you need to hear.

She also gave some incredibly clear and concise instruction for Vasisthasana. I got into the pose feeling very balanced and strong – what a huge difference!
