Happy Medium - YOU ARE A BADASS aren't you?
Getting into the groove down here in socal still. I tried out yoga for a week at a place called Yoga Six. I was able to exercise my mind and my body tandem and restore my posture and give some love to my aching back. I have a little curvature (scoliosis), had it since I was a kid.
The 20$ week package was great. I took classes like Deep Stretch and Restorative Yoga. 24hr Fitness offers them, but they aren't as relaxing in my opinion. Be prepared to be a pay price like most things in life! I asked about a membership at Yoga Six, and it was 100$ a month. Considering 200$ is my grocery bill, I couldn't do it. I also am more interested in traveling and doing things with people and my man than sitting on a mat couple times a week. Don't get me wrong, it was well worth the classes, I just don't have the money down here lol.
I spend money on checking off my bucket list. I could tell you what I am doing this month and next and month after, but that would ruin the surprise ;). I shop at Target for groceries and Trader Joes when I am feeling kosher and organic, and in need of my beloved coconut chunks, wild daises on my kitchen counter (missing farmers market), and those gluten free waffles I can't seem to live without!
I am learning to be easy on myself and find whatever a happy medium looks like. I have been hitting the gym in the mornings, and making sure to get Mia a good set of walks during the day. I love all the advice I have received. I have been soul crushed since finding affording International trips has considerably been (oh yes I will say it) temporarily put on hold. I am unbelievably determined to get back in the saddle and keep going places. Sometimes those places are really within U.S. but still just as awesome.
Trust me, you look at those travel websites, (or at least I do) for hours on end, and you expect to see all of this change, and you are disappointed, when deep down, you can't front the bill next year. Maybe, just maybe, the following one. So, in your head, you are already forming things to do instead to keep your mind on that: yes the travel doesn't end, it was just on hold until I can budget for it.
I think I take for granted appreciating the journey, wherever it is I am supposed to go.
Often times I want to push those around me to get up to my speed, and I forget that, isn't how it goes. We have so much we want to do, maybe we can just be content with too; with the everyday stuff, like waiting at the dog park with Mia for the mail lady to fill my box to see what fun stuff came today; or goofing off in Marshall's and trying on workout pants with hideously bright colors, that I would most definitely wear in public. Being present in that moment, and owning it.
Reading an awesome book right now called You are a bad-ass by Jen Sincero. It talks about how "you need to stop doubting your greatness and start living an awesome life."What does this happy medium and awesome life look like? What does it mean to keep myself in line, but also keep myself happy and stop living for or trying to live others lives? I will let you know when I find out :D.
