Time Is What We Want Most But What We Use Worst

I don't know about you but I have the tendency to over-schedule myself... teach too many classes and privates, work too much overtime, etc.  I don't just sit sit and do nothing (or do something for myself just for fun).  I go and go and go until I hit a wall.  When I was younger, I noticed I would do this to the point of self-sabotage. So, I started to become more aware of this habit. 

The strategy I use that helps me NOT over-schedule and ultimately burn-out is lots of bourbon…just joking.  OK...maybe just a little bourbon. 

Seriously, I purposely take a step back and analyze my calendar about every quarter.  I look for places where I’ve overbooked myself, places where I’ve had to cancel appointments because I just did not want to “people” that day, etc.  

Then I make adjustments.  I stop teaching certain classes (sometimes that has meant walking away from great establishments), I stop booking so many private sessions, I reduce my overtime hours at the day job, etc.  

My clients also benefit from my adherence to sitting down and trimming my calendar by seeing that they too don't have to do everything and be everywhere.   

Instead of spreading myself too thin, I can be truly present.

    I AM Boundless Bliss Yoga. Just me.  I'm a one-lady band. I'm a yoga therapist. I didn't start out to be a yoga therapist,  I just wanted to learn more and SHAAAZZAMM...here I am.

    I'm far from your stereotypical yogi.  I cuss a lot.  I have a dark sense of humor.  You might actually see me in a Jack Daniels t-shirt teaching.  You will never hear me say, "Notice how your buttocks blossoms as you breathe into it".  WTF does that even mean and how would you do that? 

    But what I do know and what you will learn from me is...yoga works.  It challenges. It empowers.  It heals.  

    And that's why I teach.
