Happy New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s been way too long since I\u2019ve posted on my blog. It\u2019s been too long since I\u2019ve posted any recipes and even longer since I\u2019ve shared any exercise and\/or health and fitness tips with all of you. Most importantly, it\u2019s just been far too long since I\u2019ve written anything. I have no valid excuse. I could tell you I\u2019m busy, but that\u2019s just a cop out. We are all as busy as we allow ourselves to be. I can\u2019t stand when people use the excuse of \u201cI\u2019m so busy\u201d as justification for not doing whatever it is they are supposed to be doing. If something is important to you then you make time for it. Simple as that. Some may disagree and you\u2019re entitled to your opinion, but think about it for a minute. As busy as we all are in our lives, we still manage to find time for social media. Whether it\u2019s 5 minutes scrolling through your Facebook feed or liking something on Instagram, saving something on Pinterest or conversing on Snapchat or whatever form of communication you choose to use to stay \u201cconnected\u201d. Perhaps you have joined the thousands of others who have jumped on this \u201cbinge watching\u201d bandwagon (guilty). Whatever your vice, we are guilty of it in some form or other. Truth is, we all have the same 24 hours in a day, we just choose to spend it differently. This brings me back to my case in point. Am I busy? Yes, and for this I am thankful. My days are filled with teaching yoga and most of my evenings are booked with either teaching, training clients or attending my daughter\u2019s dance or son\u2019s hockey. Am I so busy that I don\u2019t have time to keep up with my blog? If I am being truly honest with myself, the answer is no. \u00a0There are just times when I want to relax and not do or think. That\u2019s the brutal truth. But what happens is that what started out as something to do to relax, has now become a habit. Before I know it, in my \u201cdown\u201d time, I find myself reaching for my iPad to watch my next Netflix show instead of opening up my dashboard to my blog, or more importantly, putting my pen to paper to start writing this book I have been wanting to write for years. I\u2019m all about balance and don\u2019t think I don\u2019t enjoy my downtime just as much as the next person because believe me, I do! The difference now, however, is that I am asking myself to get my priorities in order and look at where I want to be this time next year and I know it\u2019s not talking about how many shows I\u2019ve managed to binge-watch on Netflix. This ends now! The next episode of Suits is going to have to wait just a little while longer\u2026 ;).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have been so caught up in the physicality of my work that I have let this part of me go and I miss her. The part that sits in front of the computer (or current iPad) or a blank page and writes. With quiet surroundings, a warm cup of coffee or tea, and just letting my emotions spill on to the page or screen. I don\u2019t really make resolutions cause I don\u2019t like setting myself up for any potential failure. Instead, just like I teach to my students in every yoga class, I set intentions, and one of my intentions for 2017 is to write. Write in my blog, write in my journal, and begin writing my book. I feel this is going to be the year. It may not be the year my book gets published but I\u2019m committing to letting this be the year my book gets started. There, I have said it and now I have just put it in writing for all of you to see, so there is no turning back. I hope you\u2019re reading this Sonia Rollo because you\u2019ve ignited the spark!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If there\u2019s something you\u2019re passionate about or there\u2019s something you\u2019ve been saying you want to do for a while, why wait any longer? Why not decide right here, right now, to let 2017 be your year?! Tomorrow isn\u2019t promised and when you start living each day like it could be your last, your entire perspective changes. Your priorities change. Your life changes. It\u2019s not about setting goals. It\u2019s about setting your mind to what you want to do and then taking the action to get it done. It really is that simple. Good things don\u2019t come to those who wait, they come to those who work their asses off to get it. How hard are you willing to work to get what you want? How badly do you want it? Your actions will dictate your response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Until next time,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have a fit and fabulous day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Much love,
