Yesterday contained some events that were really helpful, affirming, and empowering! I am grateful that my inteview went well! Yay! It gave me a boost of confidence. I've also taken action to set up two more interviews with two other companies, and I am--again--confident of my prospects (and ability). I spent a lot of time yesterday working on tasks related to teaching online, and I am grateful I dedicated almost an entire work-day to achieving my goals! Yay! I am grateful that I finally decided to return to Yogaville, putting my health and well-being first. It will all work out. I am so excited for the opportunity to return there and renew: my focus on and commitment to yoga practice, my emotional resilience, physical health, spiritual practice, and mental health. It's such a sacred space and it's a place where I will be surrounded by support and people, rather than so alone as I've been--even in China. I am sooooo grateful and so looking forward to returning; it will be so very healing and nourishing and will probably save my life! I've been off caffeine since Jan. 26, and off sugar and wine since Feb 15. I know it will take time for my body to restore itself, but it will. I am so grateful I've made these changes. Staying off caffeine is relatively easy, thank goddess! My energy level is fine and I don't feel adverse withdrawals or slumps. I actually feel better! I still drink my delicious Chinese Hong Cha (red tea), but weaker and throughout the day, so I don't get a caffeine "kick" in the morning. Now, I drink one or two cups of Golden Milk in the morning, which is milk (for me, soy milk), heated with turmeric and a touch of stevia! Delicious! Sometimes I miss my afternoon cuppa, but I also figure, I've been drinking coffee on and off for the first 50 years, so I have had enough. Same with sugar and booze. I've had enough and it's time to end those habits. I can do without the wine and drinking-- I've abstained plenty of times. It's the sugar and emotional eating that is my biggest challenge. But I will persist. I am grateful to myself for my efforts. I am grateful! I can do it!

I am grateful that I have finally gotten my act together to set up some interviews for remote teaching! I have an interview at 10am today (in 30 minutes!) and another tomorrow! Later today, I will set up two more interviews with other companies. I am confident in my success!
I intend to do my best and to do really well in the interviews! It won't be difficult, I have the skill-set and knowledge-base, as well as enthusiasm for teaching. I feel prepared! I can do it! I will do it! What will it bring? When I secure an online teaching post, I will be able to maintain my teaching skills for which I worked so hard! I'll finally have an income flowing, so as to preserve my diminished savings. With that income, I will be able to continue my travels and focus more on writing and less on worrying about money! I will feel more positive and self-empowered instead of paralyzed by the nightmare which my thoughts create about poverty and lack of work. My thoughts will turn around, and thus will follow my actions and life! The momentum will propel me to bring balance back into my life with exercise, healthy eating, and emotional resilience. I am grateful that I have these interviews! I am grateful for opportunities! I am grateful for confidence! I am grateful for my skills! I am grateful to be in Australia! I am grateful for the chance to travel to New Zealand next month! I am grateful for the opportunity to return to Yogaville! I am grateful! I can do it! I arrived in Melbourne, from Chengdu, China, on Sept. 23, 2019. With all the talk of coronavirus and masks, pneumonia and respiratory illness, it occurred to me that I have not been sick since I left China! During my 18 months of living in China, I was nearly constantly sick due to air pollution (and stress)...I had continuous cycles of bronchitis, colds, and flu... escalating at one point to near hospitalization. Now, I am free from illness, relishing the clean air/food/water of Australia. I have been free of illness for over 4 months! Wow! Never thought I'd be grateful for NOT being constantly sick. But there it is! On the road to health again! I am grateful! I am grateful for my health! I am grateful to breath clean air, drink uncontaminated water, and eat unpoisoned/uncontaminated food! Yay! |
