HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!! I am so excited to be ushering in this New Year and fresh start. I find so much joy and anticipation in the idea that we have no clue what this year has in store for us, and to further that point, when I reflect back on last year, there were things that happened I would never have foreseen. So, here's to 2017! Let's make this year the best year 'til next year :)
I'll admit it...I LOVE the holidays!!! I get excited to spend a couple days with family eating all the food, having a few (too many) glasses of wine, and giving people gifts that I have been impatiently waiting for them to open. I find comfort in the tradition and sameness of each year, as well as the new memories that can be created.
If you're unhappy at work, feeling like there has got to be something more, or have been working on a side hustle for the last year or so, you may be at the point where you feel like it's time to move on from your current job. But how do you do it? Whether you are planning on leaving your job to work for yourself, start a business, go back to school, or simply change career fields, you may end up staying right where you are - happy or not - because the task of making the big change seems daunting. There are a lot of unknowns outside your current situation and that makes your current situation feel safe. Safe is nice. Safe can also be a dream killer. So, as a way to help you make your decision - stay or go - today I am giving you tips that I used, or wish I had used, when I was leaving my job.
Since I left my full time job in October I have been working on turning a spare room that was unsused except for junk (do other people have those rooms in their house - tell me I'm not alone here ;)) into a home office. I wanted to create a space that would motivate and inspire me to work, and also something that would help separate my daily personal life and my work life. I felt like if I did my work in my living room for example, I would have less boundaries as to what was "work time" and what was "netflix time". Now in the mornings when I get up I can actually still "go to the office" - but my commute is much more enjoyable! Take a look at the before and after pictures of the space below and read to the end to find out where you can find some similar pieces. Fun fact about me - Interior decorating/design is a very close second to Yoga when it comes to things I'm passionate about.
As Yoga has continued to grow in popularity and become more "mainstream" there are more and more books authored by amazing Yogi's and Yoga teachers. With so many options, it can be hard to know what type of book to choose! Some books focus more on the teachers themselves - their journeys, stories and personal beliefs. Some focus on the body and the physical practice. Some focus on a certain style of Yoga. There really is something on the bookshelf for everyone! Today, I am sharing the Yoga books that I currently own,
