SOCSunday:Relax, Relate, Release

How do I relax? What's my best way? 

Depends. For the past three 3 hrs I've been relaxing. From the lazy, unhurried way I tried on clothes, to sitting in a chair quietly talking on the phone listening to the same song on repeat for the past 3 hrs: Jessica Reedy "Blue God". Moving quietly through 3 yoga poses. Now in the bed, getting ready to read on my Kindle.  I used to read most nights before I went to bed.  I let too much intervene and it waned until it was no more. Bringing it back. 

If I'm at my parents, I relax in the bathroom.  There's just something so peaceful about it. 

Quick dump for a change... 

This was my 5 minute Stream of Consciousness Sunday post. It’s five minutes of your time and a brain dump. Want to try it? Here are the rules…

• Set a timer and write for 5 minutes.
• Write an intro to the post if you want but don’t edit the post. No proofreading or spellchecking. This is writing in the raw.
• Publish it somewhere. Anywhere. The back door to your blog if you want. But make it accessible.
• Add the Stream of Consciousness Sunday badge to your post.

Making it all fit..

What's going on with me lately?

I'm back in school. Working on a doctorate. My mind just seriously wrapped around the extent of what I'm pursuing over this past weekend.

I'm actively working towards my list of 12 goals and trying to stay sane in the meantime.  One of my goals is to be an active blogger this year.  Meaning I need to post more and comment more to other bloggers. I read many blogs and most times I don't leave feedback.  I'm going to fix that though.

Me, who doesn't ever date, may be entering into that realm real soon. It's scary, so I hope it's worth the dive. I have two gym memberships now.  I joined Anytime fitness over the weekend as well.  To go with my best friend as we pursue healthier living.  The gym I attend now, I'm still there because I enjoy the circuit workouts but I needed more options.

I'm a teacher by day, a student by night and an artist and creativist lol in between time these days. So, I'm just trying to make it all fit.

This is my list of goals that I'm pursuing this year to be better.  I've grouped up my sister circle as well to get their own.  This is more so to encourage and uplift one another as we do things that get us closer to the lives we envision.  When I made my list I also made plans for each goal so that each had a purpose and was tied to something. Looking at my list again however I feel as though I should go and be more specific in my planning for at least two of them and more definite in the passion and purpose for each of them. 

What are you working on this year? 

Next step( goal 1) : I'm doing the 21 day Yoga Journal challenge for beginners. I'm on day 2.
