Take Pause and Reflect on 2018
The end of the year is slowly closing in on us. It’s a great time to take a pause and reflect on the past year. This time of year can stir up a lot of excitement, mixed emotions, and you may feel the need to slow down. We’re about to begin a NEW YEAR filled with new intention setting, new possibilities, and a time to begin again.
What I love doing this time of year is reflecting on all of the things I accomplished in 2018. I take time to write out all that I accomplished this year. With that list, I also think about some of the harder things I had to deal with as well.
Through all of the ups and downs this year has brought me, I always came back to my yoga practice. I found that I needed my practice the most when I was navigating difficult life experiences and feeling more emotional. I was more gentle with myself instead of pushing on and pretending to be okay. I gave myself space to sit with harder things.
Whether it’s yoga, meditation, writing, running, painting, singing or spending time doing the things you love, any outlets allow us to tune into ourselves. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of a daily schedule and busy lifestyle. It’s so necessary to take time for self-love and self-reflection.
My 2018 Happenings:
- Establishing Omazing Yoga and teaching my Creative Arts Yoga classes.
- Teaching children yoga and seeing the spark in their eyes when they nailed a tree pose or put their hand over their heart to breathe.
- Taking two amazing yoga workshops in New York City- Restorative Yoga and Magic of Music Training.
- Getting into the Institute of Vocal Advancement (more to come on that)!
- Finding new ways to strengthen my body and committing to a meditation practice
As 2018 comes to a close, take some time to pause, reflect, write down what you did in 2018, and then let it go. It’s time to breathe into the feeling of a new year filled with NEW possibilities!
