Re-Prioritizing

It's been a little quiet lately in the blogging world since I've been working on reorganizing and reprioritizing my life before the school year begins. One thing I've learned - if I don't care of my "home and personal life", the pressures of school life, yoga life, and social life will eventually crash down on me.

With school, I am involved in many many projects and responsibilities this year and I'm going to have to really step up my efficiency level. I'm going to stop spending time on Facebook throughout the week and really stop wasting my time on the Internet.

With yoga, I achieved one of my goals of finishing the David Swenson training, auditioning to teach Ashtanga at Yoga Yoga (dang, should have included that as part of my 101) and now am on the schedule to teach Ashtanga this fall at Yoga Yoga. I still have a flow (or rather, vinyasa) class this fall. I've been really convicted to step up the quality of my teaching this fall. Free day of yoga might draw a lot of new students into the studio, and the new school year might bring tons of new students to my UT classes. I feel like I've been half-hazard in my teaching lately and I need to practice being present, being alert, and being prepared for all my classes! I have 4 classes a week on my schedule this fall and am looking into the possibility of teaching a few privates (though I doubt I'll be able to with my schedule...)

Finally, I've been spending some time finally cleaning and redecorating my room. I really feel like your personal space is a reflection of your spiritual state. I finally tackled the junk piles that have been laying around the last year, hung up frames on my walls, and am now in the process of reorganizing my closet and trimming my wardrobe. Hopefully I'll have finished that before I head to IKEA on Friday. Since my room is now mostly black and white with some wood furniture, I am hoping to keep that black/white theme and add in a sage accent. I'll take pictures of the finished result when I'm done. I tell you what, though...cleaning and redoing my room has certainly made me feel like a new person!!
