I’ve totally dissapeared from tumblr for the past….2 months. I had the wonderful experience of working at an outdoor camp for 6 weeks. I have become quite the outdoorsy kind of girl. However, now that I’m back home with the regular stresses of life I keep asking myself “how am I going to maintain my zen?”; and I think I’ve found the answer.
I’m currently on vacation in Norfolk, Virginia with my family. This is the first family vacation in…I can’t count the years but its well over a decade. It is exciting but can be stressful from time to time, especially with all the children. As a camp counselor (working with children between the ages of 8 and 13) I found myself hoarse. By the end of every week, ok usually by tuesday, I had no voice. I realized that children don’t respond to volume, the respond to repitition and enforcement.
With that being said I have implented a NO RAISING OF THE VOICE rule in my life. I’m not really fond of loud noise so this not only saves my vocal chords but my hearing. Furthermore, during one of my internet roaming moments I stumbled across a blog (http://www.thesaladgirl.com/30-days-of-yoga/ ) where the blogger did 30days of yoga. That means everyday for a month she did yoga, at least 10 mins. So I have decided to do the same challenge. When dealing with daily life you forget tot take care of yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Over the next 30 days I will blog about my yoga experience (among other things). Can’t wait! Stay tuned. Blessings xoxo.
I must admit that there is not enough meditating, prayer, yoga, or gym time that can keep me from wanting to be down right nasty to the person who broke my heart….Maybe I can go to rehab? lol
So today I attempted to salvage my relationship with my ex-boyfriend (eww, I don’t like that), and it backfired….like big time. But instead of sinking into a depression I got up and went to the gym. I proceeded to pump iron like a woman on speed (lol). While I was in my psychotic aerobic trans I looked up and noticed a guy staring at me (creeper!). It was in that moment when I realized, I’m still a person, a rather interesting individual, that other people will actually like! Sometimes its hard to remember your person outside of all the drama that goes on in your life. But you can’t let the aftershock of the earthquake keep you disoriented…guess I’m back.
