My life is in transition right now.

As someone that likes routine, it scares the crap out of me to have zero routine.

My summer officially began when I handed in my last grad school paper of the semester [hallelujah!] And then I accidentally turned my birthday into a week long celebration last week.

But now I’m back home, figuring out what my new normal is.

What I’m Up to…

Everything and nothing. Total opposites, right? Somehow I’m keeping myself busy every day between the hours of 8AM and 11PM.

I’m catching up on all the things I neglected this semester. Friends. My hair [hello, keratin, I missed you SO]. This blog. My social media strategy. Holistic Happening behind the scenes stuff. I’m saying yes to more events and opportunities. And seeking out new teaching venues.

I’m not literally doing much, because I’m not heading to an office or making a ton of money but I feel busy. And sometimes productive.

I’m also starting a new freelance gig this week with a health coach I fiercely admire. And soon enough summer session will start up and I’ll be whining about grad school once again.

 

Some Days I Feel Like I’m Crushing It.

I’ll get my inbox down to zero. Discuss an exciting partnership with a brand. Spend a shit ton of time engaging with people on instagram. And bang out a killer blog post.

I get a glimmer of that freelancing, hustling, girl bossing, life I aspire to lead.

 

Other Days, Not So Much

It’s 10PM and I have NO idea what I did all day. I haven’t conquered everything on my to-do list.

And then there’s the pit of guilt in my belly surrounding money. I’m making a little bit of money right now teaching and blogging, and soon freelancing. But that guilt tells me I should be doing a whole lot more.

 

Be Present.

I keep reminding myself to be present. I get caught up in thinking about what’s next. Planning for the future. Scrambling to find the next dream to chase.

Funny how the yoga teacher has to remind herself to be present, no? Doesn’t the saying go: If you can’t do, teach.

Sitting still is freaking hard for me. And I know this time of “stillness” is brief. So I’m doing my best to enjoy it. Take advantage of the downtime by taking some long ass walks every damn day. Create space in my life so I can reflect on my blog, my business and the direction my life is doing in. Feel grateful that I can afford to have this brief period of stillness.

So somedays I feel like I’m crushing it, other days not so much. But I guess that’s life. The ebbs and flows, highs and lows, often times in the same day. I’m just gonna keep on pushing through. Making my to-do lists and answering all the emails.
