I treated myself to a haircut today. Got 3 inches wacked off, I did!
I love it! I feel so much lighter! I'm actually looking forward to all the grey coming in. Embracing my grandmahood and proud of it!
The stylist at Supercuts was a sweet young lady. She was quite supportive of me embracing my authenticity.
I feel like I am on the right track, finally. This morning I woke up before the break of dawn and did a short Tai Chi workout and then my hooping.
I am recommitting myself to a low-carb, gluten free lifestyle. My tummy feels better and I feel like my entire system is flowing better. I don't feel tense or bloated.
I even did a stretching and breathing workout with one of my piano classes today. A class of six year-old, very rambunctious students. One boy likes to stand when we get together for circle time at the beginning of class. Circle time is when we share about our week and I talk about "the plan" for our class. This boy is well-behaved, but prefers standing. He also is in martial arts. So I told the whole class we should stand with him. And while we were standing, we might as well do some stretching.
And they were into it! We stretched high to the ceiling while we inhaled. Then exhaled and tried to touch our toes. They were hilarious. The were groaning and moaning, saying they were stiff, like "old folks"!
But the class was much more focused and calm today. I give all the credit to the stretching and breathing. Must remember to do this with my other classes.
One of the little girls shared that she had gone to Cirque du Soleil with her family last week. She was so impressed with the ladder act. She described it to the class. We oohed and awed appropriately.
Then I asked her how she thought the acrobats were able to do their act.
"They're very flexible!" said one boy.
"They're talented!" said another.
I looked at the girl, who was looking thoughtful. "They practice a lot", she said slowly.
"A-ha!" says I. I had goosebumps on my arms.
"So what does that mean class? What should we do if we want to be good at something?", I looked around the circle.
In unison, they hollered, "Practice a lot!"
"So, what should we do if we want to be good at the piano?" asked I with a grin.
"Practice a lot!" They said, but not as loudly.
"Bingo"! I thought to myself. Practice dilemma solved!
And this is what I am learning continually in my life. To get the positive results I seek, at EVERYTHING in life, I need to practice a lot!
I do!
And on that note, I wish you a happy Saturday!
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love,
Zita
P.S. Here is today's hooping video. Day 15!
