I think my muse has returned... we shall see how this post goes. Yoga was great this morning, breathing exercises were a bit tough and I'm not sure why. I really struggled on the breath holds. 125/250 on the stepper again. I'm still pushing it a bit but I get closer each day to easily getting there before my legs start to get the wobbles. Once I can get tp 125/250 easily then I'll push to 150/300. I'll be halfway to my goal of 300/600 then and I feel like I am ahead of schedule on this. I might make it by the New Year!
So a few weeks ago I was stressing over what I would do and where I would volunteer in Nepal when I go. I would find something that I thought I would love only to find out it was no longer available. I really got discouraged and a bit down. So I stepped back from it and quit worrying about it and just let the thoughts come as they might and realize there is no point stressing over it this far in advance. So with a more relaxed attitude and in focusing on my mindfulness I realized that where and what I want to do isn't as important as going where and doing something that has a greater need. That could be teaching English, working with disadvantaged women or special needs children. Would I love to teach in a Himalayan monastery - oh yes, but so do quite a few others. There also are not that many of them accepting volunteers. But the point of volunteering is to help where it is needed the most. So that is my focus going forward.
