This phrase has been just ringing in my head for the past two weeks.

I swear. I have things all planned out in the beginning of the year. I thought, FINALLY! I am getting more organized (something I aim to work on this year..)

You thought, if you have a good plan, life will be smooth, right?

No, not really.

First, I got sick. I want to tell myself I am fine and can go back out and be superwoman again (although I do feel a little like that now I am “immune”) but the truth is, I do need a little time to rest and recover. And days of staying home, my lower back started to get agitated.

I am totally falling behind things. Courses I need to finish. Homework I need to do. Content I need to write.

Doesn’t help when my whole household is falling behind.. husband catching on work, kids with their school work.

I am also dealing with some unexpected issues.

Yes. I am taking a few weeks off teaching at the studio.

When I made my plans in the beginning of the year, it does not look like this.

But when’s the last time you make a plan and things turn out exactly as is. Almost never.

So I tell myself, “It’s okay.”

And A good reminder, is that even if plans change, the goals never change.

Even I am not teaching at the studio, every day I am doing the work of yoga, from practicing, to studying, to writing content, to more planning (even knowing that things may change).

🍋 Having a plan and then not following the plan, is different than not having a plan at all.

🍋 Life is 10% of what happens, and 90% how you respond to it.

🍋 See obstacles as opportunities.

🍋 Don’t change your goal. Change your plans.

🍋 Turn discouragement into determination.

I am sad I am not with you at the studio. Trust me, I am dying to teach. But bear with me. I will return as soon as I can. 🙏

Meanwhile, I will continue to connect with you in this space.
