1) I am not creative or a great writer
2) I am not some great yogi - in fact I am toggling between beginner and intermediate (more beginner)
3) I am a totally average girl BUT I would say a little more aggressive emotionally
4) Nothing is stable about my life, so any advice I give here I would take with a grain of salt (although, I HAVE been told I give great advice and perspective but just can't follow it myself)
5) This blog won't be consistent - there will be happy days, sad days, mad days - but, it will be exactly how every woman feels ... nothing about our feelings or life are consistent so why should this blog be?
Now that is out of the way, let me give you all a brief understanding of where this blog is coming from. I am a huge blog reader and have always wanted to either a) be a famous blogger b) be a reality tv show star or c) have my own talk show. None seem likely and being a famous blogger is probably the only "realistic" option. There are so many blogs out there that are just about life, love, complaining, and really do amp you up or you can totally relate to them. The problem I have with blogs (and I will have with my own) is the temporary high. I walk away from reading a blog or book and I feel incredibly powerful, strong, and pumped like "yeah, I can totally do this" - for about 15 minutes. It is the same high I get when I leave a yoga class.
During a yoga class, the teacher will tell you to set an intention, focus on your breath, and clear your mind. That would be AWESOME if I could. However, I do not have very much "zen" in my practice or my anxiety-induced lifestyle. During yoga, there are plenty of moments I think how awesome it is I am not thinking about work, or my recent relationship drama, or life, or love. But, really I am thinking about them - just thinking about how I am not thinking about them. I have tons of moments and revelations during yoga - kind of like how people have their greatest thoughts in the shower. This blog is going to be my inner thoughts during yoga, expending upon thoughts I have in yoga, and just overall advice or relate-able moments or issues.
The name for my blog was actually developed by someone at work who reports to me, and the concept of my blog thought up by one of my coworkers/friends. It actually goes to show how much these people know me. During our brainstorm session, the guy who thought up the name actually drew this out, and it's just...perfect.
Until next time...
