Today was a pretty interesting day. I could have chosen to be sad and disappointed all day long. But I wasn't! Why would I be disappointed? I got an email from Exxon first thing this morning telling me that I wasn't invited for a final interview. So there goes my chances for my high paying job (that I really didn't want, but I loved the option).
I still got up and did my workout, and then I made oatmeal, because I ran out of cream of wheat.
It was pretty amazing, actually. At some point, I will make something other than hot cereal for breakfast. But this is working. I like it. It fills me up and makes me happy. I need more of that in my life!
I have made a decision today. There has been much talk of bucket lists lately, and I actually made one on Monday. A full one with 50 things I want to do. It includes a list of places I want to visit, accomplishments I was to...accomplish, and activities I want to do. One of the accomplishments is to get my 200 hour yoga certificate from Kripalu. I like the idea of a residential training program, and I have been to Kripalu twice in the past. I am going to print out an application tomorrow for the october to november month-long intensive, and apply! I will hopefully be finished with my thesis by then, and I can go get a certificate. If anything, it will enable me to teach yoga and get extra cash that way. Or start earning cash, if I still haven't found a job. It is something I want to do in my life. So why not this year?
That is my light at the end of the tunnel today. Something to keep in mind. My life if what what I make of it, not what other people choose for me.
Remember, my giveaway is still on!
Great attitude today!
ReplyDeleteI've been tempted a few times but haven't had a drink in 6 years. Not worth it when you drive for a living.
I love it. Actually, that thought has crossed my mind before as well, but I don't want to make yoga something I feel I "have" to do. That might not make sense, but while I love the study of it, I don't want to feel obligated. I want to keep it my "free" thing. However, I would take your class.
ReplyDeleteAs for the job, cheesy, but everything happens for a reason. You weren't meant to work there and something else is going to happen as it's supposed to. Patience my dear ;)
Hi-ya!
ReplyDeleteHope you are well!
I have been really trying to reevaluate my eating. I need to get back on track and eat some real whole fresh foods again!!
I just need to figure out how to fit it in :(
Stopping time is all I have come up with so far
Hm, perhaps I should start thinking of my 'bucket list'...but I really don't know to put on it! I have so much as it is and I really appreciate it all!
ReplyDeletethe Yoga cert sounds like a great idea. I have a a certification through YogaFit, but I would love to do a real in depth study!
just found ur blog from quarterlifewellness and i love it! great pics and info. xoxo <3
ReplyDeleteAmen to that!! This is your life and it is up to you what you make of it. I'm sure you will make a beautiful journey of it, and deservedly so! I love the bucket list idea - made one ages ago but never quite looked back at it. Maybe I should!
ReplyDeleteAbout Exxon - I think this just means that God has something greater up His sleeve for you! Anticipate!
Take care hun! Have a wonderful weekend!
Much love,
Nat xoxo
Great post, Astrid! I liked reading that you didn't let the email from Exxon get you down. Don't worry; it just wasn't meant to be. There is something bigger and better out there for you. I just know it! And, I think you would make a great yoga teacher. You are such a kind and caring person, and seem to be really in touch with your spirit and soul. You would be great with people and helping them find their inner strength and beauty. I applaud you! Have a great weekend!
