October 15th 2012 "Achievement"

"There is a difference between simply existing and truly living. There is a distinction between simply surviving and really thriving. The sad thing is that most people have lost sight of the human gifts that lie within them and have resigned themselves to spending the best years of their lives watching television in a subdivision. Too many people spend more time focusing on their weaknesses than developing their strengths. By concentrating on what they don't have, they neglect the talents they do have. The greatest people who have gone before us all had a simple strategy that ensured their success: they knew themselves. They made the time to reflect on their core abilities -those special qualities that made them unique-and spent the rest of their lives refining and expanding them."-Robin Sharma 

My Horoscope today in FFWD newspaper: You've been pretty patient, so you'll be pleased to find out at the start of the week that it's finally finished. Sure, it's time to celebrate, but don't forget that now you gotta figure out how you're gonna make the next one even better...

Fitting, I'd say for this amazing Monday! Successfully recited my Half Moon Pose with Hands to Feet Pose in front of studio owner and other Teacher Training aspiring yogi's! Was a little nerve racking yes, but I feel I did the best I could do and now the tweaking begins. I must use emphasis on particular "pushing" words and also add my confidence and viola in no time I will be able to carefully and precisely take people in and out of Half Moon! 
Was definitely cool to focus on looking at your subjects bodies rather than having to make eye contact as you would in normal public speaking situations. I look forward to the upcoming course Phillip and I will take in the new year regarding public speaking! I think this will be hugely valuable when it comes to teaching classes. 
Remember to be able to laugh at yourself, and find the things in life that you are thankful for... until next time friends... Namaste

"Act as if failure is impossible, and your success will be assured. Wipe out every thought of not achieving your objectives, whether they are material or spiritual." -Robin Sharma  

Good evening friends and viewers, hope you are enjoying my blog. Nervousness setting in-as on Monday Oct 15th I will have to recite what I have memorized for Half Moon Pose with Hands to Feet Pose in front of my mentor, Guru, and Bikram studio owner Hannah Parks. Funny how this conveniently happens to be the inspirational quote of the day...I believe I will have to do just this and focus on how I will succeed and deliver the scripting verbatim in my own personal quirky style. Please wish me luck! 
Missing my handsome man already as he is away in Edmonton teaching a class tomorrow that he himself has designed and put together to share his passion of hair with others. I know he will do great. Love you P and love to all of you who are weary of failure. Remember...it does not exist! You really truly can do anything you set your mind to. 
Namaste friends.

Encourage yourself to do more and to experience more. Harness your energy to start expanding your dreams. Yes, expand your dreams. Don't accept a life of mediocrity when you hold such infinite potential within the fortress of your mind. Dare to tap into your greatness. This is your birthright. - Robin Sharma

Oct 11 2012 First Snowfall

Good Morning!
This morning I stepped outside to a new world. Before my very eyes was a blanket of fresh white snow that was delicately placed on top of tree branches, grass, roofs, cars and sidewalks. The sky is grey and when I exhale my breath is visible like magic. It is a new day, a new chapter, new season and time to look forward to the hot room. I have recently taken on a couple new challenges/goals of which I am really excited about and looking forward to. I will now be training for the Asana Yoga Championships that will take place in Feb 2013, and also be preparing for Teacher Training in the Spring 2013. Keeping my practice consistent and taking the time to invest in my health, mentally and physically will be top priority. I have a huge amount of support from my instructors and the studio owner of BYML (Bikram Yoga MardaLoop) and every step of this journey has been absolutely life altering for me. I have never felt so alive, so healthy and confident in myself. Each yoga class is a different one, regardless of the fact that we practice the same 26 Bikram postures, my body is constantly changing and some days your mind is more heavy than others. Getting myself to the studio is 99% of the practice the utter determination and self-discipline it takes to do that some days can be surprising but so true. Once you make it to the studio there is no turning back you are there, you are present and you came for one reason. 
I have never been happier in my personal life/love life. I feel open, honest, loved, and cared for more than ever and I feel so confident that I have found my soul mate. Each day I spend with this truly amazing man is the best day of my life. He is a huge supportive net in my life and reminds me every day of my worthiness to be me, to follow my dreams and it is a blessing to have that. I feel so thankful for the fact that we happened to cross paths and become something so beautiful together. I love you Phillip.
To finish this entry I will say to you all "Be Vulnerable. Let your true Self show." 
Namaste.

October 6 2012 extraordinary achievement

When you devote yourself to excellence in everything you do, you begin to feel a greater sense of positive pride about the way you are conducting your days. This in turn increases self respect and confidence, which in turn, release greater energy and passion. You begin to feel good about yourself. People who feel good about themselves do great work and create remarkable things. And this, in turn, just makes them raise their standards of excellence even higher. It's an upward spiral that takes people to ever increasing places of joy, meaning Nd internal peace. ( nicely said Robin )

Never forget that time spent enriching your non-work hours is never a waste. It makes you tremendously efficient during your working hours. Our biggest ideas often come during our most relaxed times. -Robin Sharma
