Day 154: Mother Nature has been smiling on Denver and gracing us with the most beautiful warm spring weather. On Monday I went for an hour walk while soaking up the 70 degree warmth onto my cold winter skin.
Day 155: Yesterday I dedicated my day to working on my coaching business and working out. I spent five-hour
s at Wash Perk Coffee emailing, strategizing and organizing….all while decked out in my favorite run outfit. After I closed my laptop for the day, I jogged the few blocks to Wash Park’s perimeter and ran 30 minutes while listening to some throw back rap music from college (fitting since it is spring break week at my alma mater, Indiana University).
After my run, I went home, grabbed my yoga mat and met my friend at Karma Yoga for some serious stretching. Insiders tip: yoga after a run is a lot more challenging. In my mind, this means that the combination 
of workouts are doing wonders for the body. The instructor, Katrina, talked about lots of things that touched me throughout the 75 minute class. But one thing she said took my breath away, “it’s not the lack in life that causes us pain, it’s the greed.” Think about that for a second.
Are you thinking about it? How is that true in your life? I know it’s true in mine in almost every facet. I consider myself full of gratitude and far from greedy, however, sometimes I can’t help but wish that my life was somehow different. Which is where the greed comes in. That was the reminder that I needed to remember that I am exactly where I need to be. You are exactly where you are meant to be. Together, we are doing what we are supposed to be doing. Sigh, doesn’t that thought just take away some of that stress and greed? If it doesn’t, what thought could you play with to make you feel more grateful?
Day 156: I have a huge confession to make; I am not perfect with my working out. I have been absolutely horrible since Mike came home at keeping early m
orning yoga dates with myself. Lately when my alarm goes off at 5 a.m., my first thought is “I could probably find another class today to go to instead of having to wake up now.” Insert a quick “dismiss” of the alarm and back to sleep I go for another hour or two. This morning I was determined to get my early morning class groove back. So I did. I got up at 5 a.m. to go to a C2 class at Core Power Yoga with my friend Cassidy. Together we sweat enough to fill a baby pool and individually, I completed a 20 second wheel when all I wanted to do was fall into child’s pose. Afterwards, I felt spent. I gave every ounce that I had at 6 a.m. and that my friends, is what morning flow is all about.
