So…. I’ve been pretty inactive for the past month. Life got kind of complicated for me over the past few weeks – there has been life drama, friend drama, family drama. In other words, I’ve felt kind of drained and in a bad place. And that showed in my personal life. I didn’t feel inspired to write for my blog or try new things. I was stuck in a rut.
Over this past weekend, I was thinking about how to turn all this around. How to drag myself out of this bad mood and turn a new page. Enter Wanderlust Yoga. I had been to their studio over a year ago at the encouragement of one of my friends. I absolutely LOVED the studio, but school and life got in the way and I stopped going. I wasn’t going to let that happen again. A few days ago I decided that I needed to focus on healing me, and doing what was best for my body and mind. Sometimes a little self love is needed, ya know?
I forgot to take pictures, so I stole these from the internet! Oops
Anyways, yesterday I decided to restart my membership again. I attended my first class of vinyasa and wow did it kick my butt. It made me realize not only how out of shape I’ve gotten (I’m sorry, I’m sorry but cookies are my weakness), but also how restorative and empowering yoga can make you feel. As we went through the poses, I almost broke down in tears. All the stress and bad vibes I’d been keeping inside were finally being released, and I was so happy in that moment. It truly was an amazing experience, and I’m glad that I’ve started yoga again. I’m glad to push myself again, and take better care of my body.
I’ve decided to set a goal of going to the studio at least 3-4 times a week. Not too bad right? Sometimes work and life can get in the way, but I need to learn to prioritize. Taking care of myself needs to also start coming first. That’s sometimes hard and at times can feel a bit selfish. But I’m trying to get over that, and focus on healing myself. How can I give 100% to anything else, while the inside me is kind of broken? In that note, I’ve decided to start attending more classes/workshops at the Paper + Craft Pantry, reading more books, and going on more adventures (a few weeks ago me and the boy went to Gorman Falls, and are now looking for more Texas weekend trips to accomplish!). I’m also getting back into cooking! It really feels like I’m waking up a bit, and I can’t wait to see where all this takes me.
Love, Jordan
