Something Old, Someone New.

As I prepare for the transition into full-time entrepreneurship (eek!), I am focused on stepping into it as disciplined and grounded as possible. I have realized that this will be the first time I will ever get to fully dictate how my days go and while it feels scary, I am excited to see what I am made of.

Part of this journey has been getting back into my movement routines. Last year my migraines resurfaced and sidelined me from basically any physical activity. Now that I have a great treatment plan in place, I finally feel comfortable enough to ease back into some sort of movement practice. Yoga felt like the best option because of the practical aspects: I live within walking distance of a studio and I can choose the intensity level depending on my energy. I call yoga my “first fitness love” because stepping onto the mat introduced me to a whole new world. 

I went to my first class last week and wow wow wow. My first thought was that she (everything in my life has she/her pronouns lol) has not changed in the 3 years that I have stepped away from a consistent practice. The flow, the feel of the studio, the endorphin rush afterward. None of it has changed. It felt like a welcome back. Like a hug after being away from home for an extended period. Like just what I need to help me stay grounded in this transition. Because while I have changed so much since I stepped away, yoga has stayed the same. 

I returned to something old as someone new while nervous as heck. It was all a beautiful reminder that I can do this. This being full-time entrepreneurship, being disciplined, and staying grounded as I wade through this next chapter of my life.
