Most people think of yoga professionals as being very balanced individuals. I aspire to be much more balanced in the summer when the vibe slips into that easy breezy territory called Outside. Unfortunately, I have a long way to go.
When you own and operate a small business, balance seems to go right out the window and it is ALL work. ALL. THE. TIME. I am thankful, I still get to teach yoga in between meetings and moving merchandise. I am living my “Dream Job” so how can I possibly bitch about being out of whack?
Well truthfully, I can’t. But, I notice that I never drink enough water or sleep enough and I spend WAY too much time on the computer AT MY DESK. I can make time to go for a morning run, but; instead I spend it answering e-mails and I get swept away by some stuff that in the long term really doesn’t matter. To save time and reduce stress, I need to know how to use more apps! I try and eat healthy, but it takes a bunch of time to chop all those veggies for the green shakes I never have time to drink, let alone make.
Teaching yoga and Pilates at GOOGLE has definitely reinforced my belief that one has to get OUT of the office and MOVE to be productive. If you see the movie, The Internship, you will notice that everyone gets time to play outside every day! I am looking forward to the wide release of GOOGLE GLASS. It is definitely ergonomic and you can walk anywhere as you do your work. It will be a game changer, I have used the Glass and it is MAGIC! Until then, I have to learn to dictate my e mails to my iPhone as I run. Using this technology more efficiently does make life easier. We have to keep on learning new tricks to streamline our time. So, bring it on. Mobile me more!
