Yesterday, for instance, was quite full. I taught two classes. Both went really well and yet they weren't as full as usual. But I gave them my all and my best. Between classes, I had a mani/pedi, then went on a walk around the reservoir, which was so nice. After my second class, I met my friend and fellow teacher Allison for lunch. We talked about the challenges and gifts we were facing in our lives, without really complaining about our lives. Then I did some yoga, read, and later met my boyfriend for dinner and a movie. If yesterday was my entire life, then it was a good life! 

That said, I would like to continue to work on the excess worrying. I think that our profession of teaching yoga is fraught with the challenges of truly not knowing how a class is going to go, who is coming to class each time, and not getting caught up in numbers. I know it is such a competitive world and market. One of the challenges lies in staying true to yourself and recognizing that you are perfect as you are, and not trying to be like another teacher! Recognizing that the universe is good and that the way things are happening are exactly as they are supposed to!

May I trust in the goodness of the universe.

May I trust that how my day goes is exactly as it is meant to- and still work really hard, do my best and give the highest of myself to whoever is there.

May I spend today living with gratitude, as if today was my entire life.

We have so much to be thankful for!
