Yin Yoga

After an exhausting but fun night with friends

(pre-party outfit shown below)

I was feeling cozy last night with lumber jack shirt and fuzzy boots

today was a well needed "wellness day" 

spent by...

sleeping in until 11am (sicking huh?)

going to the gym

Yin Yoga at Mind your Body 

finished with snuggles from my two hansomes (Mike and Max)

There was something really inspiring that was read by our yoga teacher today concerning happiness

It went a little something like this

Happiness is not about being cheerful 

(which is exactly what I thought it was....WRONG!)

happiness is learning about and being interested in new things 

it is about living in the moment 

For some reason that was really powerful to me.

I think I have always focused on being "cheerful"

saying to myself for example, that girl is always so enthusiastic and cheery

she must be so happy

when in reality she may or may not be

I have realized happiness is not about the outward expression 

but instead about being content and learning about new things

moving in a continual positive direction 

I think I am definitely in a position to learn more

I hope this finds you happy and well

I can see now why she captures everyone's heart

So happy I got to work with you guys!

Inspired by the Jealous Curator

Found on The Jealous Curator

Love her motto "a collection of artwork that inspires and depresses me. I know it 's good when I'm thinking DAMN I WISH I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT OF THAT!"

Pretty little pencil

pencils by inkkit / chalkboard by peg + awl

I am making it a point to be more creative and more productive.  I've wasted so many hours in front of the tv instead of creating new things and cultivating new idears. Who knows, maybe someday I can rule the world (ok, prob more like my roost) if I got off my bottom and get stuff done!

My goal is to work on something (ANYTHING) each night.  The TV is not to be turned on until after I get ready for bed. 

What do you do to keep motivated?  How do you tackle big projects?

Nighty night,
