Deep Insight

Feels like I'm evolving faster than I can grasp. Perhaps an effect of being in NYC - the city that never sleeps.. Anyhow, the last few weeks have been intense to say the least. I had a bicycle accident that put me down for about ten days. About the same time I picked up a GI infection that made me unable to do much for almost 2 weeks and also made me very depressed. I'm moving to Park Slope, Brooklyn (for a month to begine with). My boyfriend and I broke up. and I had an interview for a research position that went extremly well (invited for a second round next week)!

Toward the end of my coaching session with Fernando today, he asks about what's really going to make me commit to my goals (weekly planning, daily meditation & yoga, yoga class at least 1/week). I pause and then it comes to me. Of course I'm doing these things for me.. however, I am also doing these things for the people in my life (and for the world at large)! Wow.

New realization

After being away from my apartment and my routines for two weeks, I realize - among other things - the importance of my environment on my overall wellbeing and consequently, success. Looking back, I see a pattern. That's why I ended up in NYC.

Being someone who easily get out of balance, the last couple of weeks have been all but productive in terms of staying on track with my goals. I've simply been too tired/unfocused to do anything of value, even sleep! Now, what's the practical resolution? To make sure that I surround myself with beauty and functionality; creating a safe home environment where I can recharge and rejoice life... while sticking to my rituals!

Through working with Fernando, I finally understand that my life is NOW, and it's not waiting. What am I waiting for? Better health? luck? Either I'm changing my standards (not happening) or get my act together. As simple as it may sound, it's a challenge. While I recognize the importance of organization etc, I fight structure on certain levels. Well, that's all changing.
