One of my greatest lessons so far this year has been About learning to be more patient. More patient with others. More patient with circumstances. More patient with myself. If you slow yourself down, it’s easier to be patient. I’ve been a witness to a couple of emergencies recently and now when every day inconveniences like a long line at a bank or a traffic jam or one more day without news about a book deal comes up, I try to remember that this is not an emergency. It’s a blessing to have a bank account and a car and a book being considered by major publishers! I have always tried to think this way, but practising yoga for the last 10 weeks has improved my ability to slow down and look at life with fresh eyes. 10 weeks ago when I tried to do this dancers pose I started laughing; there is no way I could stand on 1 foot holding my back leg up by my butt for three minutes! But with many weeks of trying, and with a little self love,I was able to realize this goal. Is there something you’re waiting for? Something you feel anxious about because it’s just not happening for you? Sometimes trying something new, instead of focusing on your problems, helps you look at your circumstances in a whole new light. #authorsofinsta #authorlife #yogadanslesvignes #modoyogalove #flowyoga #amazoninfluencers #canadianpoet #canadianauthor #balance #believe #hope #inspire #trysomethingnew
Thanks for posting this Heather, it gave me a giggle. I haven’t done any cartoons myself yet, just haven’t had the time. I really want to though! I did manage to dig out and blog some drawings I did with my little *CAL. She invented her own video game a while back and entered a competition. She called her character SUBAUALOPS. If you get chance have a look he’s really rather cool, but I’m her Mom I will say that…lol
Love and hugs. Lisa. xxx
