Keeping It Up

I'm always working to keep the balance between growth and rest. I'm particularly busy now as I'm finishing the courses required to be in a higher pay bracket with teaching English. I'm also continuing to work toward my 1500 hour Registered Yoga Instructor status.

Sometimes I get a little tired while working to obtain goals that I have set for myself, and I wonder if I should skip a quarter of my schoolwork toward my level 2 licensure, or I think about just letting my blogs fall to the wayside. However, I know the quicker I get to my next licensure level, the sooner I'll get a raise, and my family deserves that.

I still have 13 more months of blogs until I reach my goal of posting weekly for 2 years. Who knows– maybe a lucrative career as a writer might offer itself to me? It's often work ethic that carries people places in their lives. Additionally, these blogs are part of my personal yoga practice where I reflect on how the parts of my life are working cohesively.

I think it's part of my life's work to grow my soul through these things I have chosen for myself. I get little universal nudges that inspire me to keep going, such as when people I don't know sign-up to receive my blogs, and when people I do know reach out and send kind words to me about a blog I wrote.

My soul rejoices when I help people, when I take care of my family, and when I push myself to the edge of my comfort zone. I either have to keep-it-up or sleep more. I've actually done the sleeping more thing, and I don't become any better rested, so it looks like I'll just keep it up.
