hey 2011, whats up

Oh it's been a long time since I've posted. Between everything winding down for the holidays, exciting holidays, and monotony at work, I haven't seen anything worthy to post about.

So Happy New Year! Man, my christmas was .. interesting. Extremes of good and bad- different life happenings, but I guess it all equals out? Sure. Every morning (besides waking up and feeling like P'diddy) I just keep reminding myself the lyrics to Josh Radin's song...

It's a brand new day
the sun is shining
it's a brand new day
for the first time in such a long, long time
i know i'll be ok

I haven’t made a new years’ resolution in a long time because it seems silly to me to make a random promise just because it’s January 1. With this said, I’m about to make a January 7th resolution. I was thinking today how proud of myself I am in relation to dealing with my anxiety disorder. The thing is, over this past year I have greatly improved my mind's reactions and thus lessened the physical reactions, but I haven’t improved my shoulders. Internally, these muscles are where I put all stress and anxiety. My January 7ths’ resolution is to be committed to yoga. My work has employee yoga on Mondays and it’s all about de-stressing. The instructor is very one-on-one and has already started helping me. But I need to do yoga at least 2x a week to be effective. With my shoulders, I probably need to do it everyday… but I’m not committing to that! (with SMART goals, they have to be Attainable!) So... a focus on yoga in my life. Yeah. Happy Russian Christmas. :)
