Back with renewed faith

Just looking at the date on my last post makes me cringe. But I can't hide from it. It really has been that long. I broke my promise to write each week. I let school take over my life. But now that is in the past. I can't change it but I can pick myself up and start again. So here I go again...

I work really hard at whatever I commit myself to and I did a great job this year with my kids. However, I think I did lose a little faith in myself. I let a lot of other things go like this blog, my health, my practice. I realized I couldn't do it all and then struggled to figure out how much to do in each area. Now that school is out, I renewed my effort back towards myself. I'm trying to eat better, practice daily, blog weekly and clean and organize my life.

As I began this quest this month, I started to renew my faith in myself again. Do I still need to learn how to prioritize? Yes, of course. And that's not really happening now with my time off. But I did start realizing again how much I am capable of accomplishing and how I really do know what's best for me when I stop and listen. That faith in myself will go a long way if I continue to hold onto it. It's like the arm balances I have planned for my classes this week. When I first learned Bakasana (crow), I was all alone in my house in Houston. I had to be on carpet and by myself to have the faith that A. I wouldn't hurt myself and B. Nobody would be around to laugh at me! At least that was what I thought. Eventually it turned out that I just had to have faith in myself and I was airborne=)

I know that since I haven't written it will take some time to have people reading again. But I hope if you do that you too will either find and/or continue to have faith in yourselves. And I will continue mine as I keep working towards my goals.
