Good morning, Toronto! Time to practice!
This week has been insane with the inaugural CAVA Gala on Thursday night. For the last few months my time hasn’t been my own with all the work that went into this. And I didn’t do half the work others were doing! It was absolutely worth it and a roaring success! But I had to take the full day off yesterday to do almost nothing but read, sleep, and be alone to recharge my introverts batteries. I didn’t get out of my pjs! It was perfect.
One if the things I did do was ponder about how I spend my time in general. What I do everyday. What I want to do. What I talk about doing but never actually get around to doing.
My mornings are very structured: up at 6:30am, water, coffee, meditation, journal, walk, gym, study for an upcoming training while I do cardio, walk home, breakfast, shower, workday starts by 9:30am.
Then it all goes to hell in a hand basket.
My workday is dictated by the volume of auditions that come in, client calls, coaching sessions, meetings, recording sessions, etc. NONE of it is predictable. Most days it’s chaotic. And by the time dinner roles around at 7pm I still have a ton to get through before bed at 10pm. There doesn’t seem to be time to do the things I want to do.
But is that true?
How do I create a structure within this whirling dervish of a life?
I know it’s not by adding a time slot to my calendar. Believe me, my calendar is full! But what if it only took the action of STARTING to make the change?
I was asked the other day in an interview what I would say to someone who had never practiced before or who had stopped practicing for a while who wanted to start yoga but was uncertain.
“Just step onto the mat. The rest will follow.”
Sometimes I’m deep…
The hardest part of change is always at the beginning. But when we take the first step and commit to repeating that first step daily, it becomes a habit. A habit becomes part of your structure. And that becomes part of your everyday.
Just step onto the mat.
