I am grateful to feel supported and cared for!!! I had two discussions yesterday with two separate people, and I felt anxious all day about how they would respond. Both went great! I received support and congratulations, instead of judgement and disapproval. It makes me realize to what extent I had been beaten down over the year and told over and over “other’s needs are more important than yours”.
I felt loved, valued, supported, cared for, relieved, enthused, and joyous! It was reaffirmed to me that I need to put myself first and consider MY needs before/as well as, others’ needs! My news was met with confidence and support and clear communication. I didn’t have to beat-around-the-bush for once, and I didn’t receive passive-aggressiveness or manipulation in return! YAY! I am grateful that I received this, and was reminded that I need to give myself more care, autonomy, and permission!!! Oops, missed a day! Ah, well! I’ve been doing yoga and on the days I miss in the morning, I do after school! That’s amazing in itself, because usually I am exhausted after school! Yay! I’m grateful for energy and determination! Opportunities are coming down the pipeline and I feel ready! I will make all of these POSSIBILITIES positivities! Ha! I’m grateful for sleep, because I need a little extra after too much thinking and pondering and calculating last night...! I’m grateful my energy has shifted, my emotional resilience is back in full swing, and I am feeling like myself again!
I'm grateful for yoga classes even when they irritate me because the instructor plays blaring, loud music so I can't even hear her and I get a headache. I am seriously stretched and worked out though!
I'm grateful for my dearest friend DW, who is always truthful with me. I'm grateful Saturdays and cappuccino and mimosas and eggs Benedict and an afternoon spent with friends, followed by RESEARCH!!! I'm grateful for the changes occurring. Bring it! Hmm, are these the same or just similar? Does an opportunity present possibilities? Does a possibility present and opportunity?
An opportunity is a favorable situation to attain a goal. Something that can happen presents a possibility for positive or negative. so while an opportunity results in a positive event, the possibility can go either way. So let's stick with OPPORTUNITIES! I'm grateful for possibilities that lead to opportunities that brighten my future and lead to realized goals! And I am grateful for yoga, health, feeling better, clarity, confidence, assertiveness, and changes that are currently happening that have a wonderful and direct impact on my happiness and success! I don't even know how to begin to express the shift that has occurred within me: physically, mentally, and emotionally! I feel so much better!!! I have clarity of thought, creativity of mind, optimism in my heart, and energy of body! Thank freaking Goddess; it's about time!!!
I am grateful for all I have learned over the past (nearly) 2 years at my school; I have come a long way in behavior support and I have worked diligently to modify my approach to classroom management and sociology-emotional learning. In fact, two of my greatest strengths in the classroom are my SEL skills and teaching reading! I believe my greatest asset is my sincere caring for my little people. Coming from a place of love and compassion enables me to adapt and make positive changes that benefit them--which is the whole purpose! I'm grateful I made it through such a dark transition period; I had doubts I'd ever see the other side of this Struggle Tunnel. I'm grateful to embark on this next phase. I had another wonderful event happen yesterday (shhhhh...for now!) that is opening new doors and new possibilities! I'm SOOOOOOOOOO excited! Yay! It is Day 3 of the New Year, and day 3 of my 365 days of Gratitude and Intention to complete my yoga practice 5x per week. So I'm 1% successful for the New Year, already, LOL
In 2018, I intend to get my yoga practice back on track by performing asana, pranayama, and meditation consitently again: 5 days each week. in addition, 3 days of other forms of exercise, walking, running, cycling, whatever! So today I'm grateful to be on Day 3 and I'm grateful for a great first day at school, increased clarity, action, agency, power, energy, and vivid dreams!
