I love to Read

I just realized recently that reading to me is like Yoga, when I find a book I like whether its motivational, business, fiction, or non fiction, I want to literally turn off the world and dive in until the end.  I am listening to many videos and Cd's, many of my fellow coaches do personal development, basically something to get you in a positive head space and chase after your dreams.  So for many people it is the first thing they do when they wake up, some have Cd's in the car, others find time to read, and I feel that would be the most nourishing and fulfilling for me.

If I give myself a 30 minute time slot to read whatever book I am reading daily, I know I will get back to it, so it won't be hard to put it down, even if I am really into it.  I will take whatever inspiration from the pages that I read, and charge forward to reach my goals for the day, take action, and get to work.  I am really excited about this, I have not sat down and read a book in a very long time, I cannot even give a certain amount of years, and its because I am in life and have not head the luxury to turn off.  I also like to finish whatever book I am reading, I cannot read several at a time, so I am going to start it today right after this blog.

Videos are awesome, but I feel like my mind wanders, I definitely get benefit, but I cannot always squeeze it in, in the morning we get kids ready for school, at night my brain is tired, I want to finish up what has to get done and get to bed for another non stop day.  Cd's in the car are OK, but once again, while driving my mind is not fully present, and the mind wanders.  Ideally in a Yoga class, the only thing the mind is focused on is the moment, everything goes away for the hour that you are in the class.  That is how I want to approach my 30 minutes that I am in my book, fully in my book, it will be like a meditation and for me that is relaxation.

My husband just took the kids to school, my baby is taking his morning nap, and I get me time/quiet time.  I am headed to 24 Hour Fitness to take a Bodypump class for my workout today, and then meeting my friend who I will be doing Doula training with in a few weeks, bringing her an Herbalife Healthy Meal Shake for lunch, so we can share energy and ideas about our lives and our future.

Feeling blessed for my path,
Knowing I am exactly where I need to be,
Are you exactly where you would like to be?
