The sun is beginning to wake a little earlier each morning and it was a nice change to see it starting to poke it’s head up as I got to the community centre at 4:50 this morning to prepare for my first yoga class of the morning. As tired as I was lying in bed after doing a late shift at the hospital last night, before I closed my eyes to sleep I made a silent prayer for enough people to come this morning so that I at least break even this week.
Whilst I love my yoga, and teaching it, getting up at 430 in the morning is not usually something I celebrate, this morning though I pushed all negativity away and thought nothing but welcoming positive thoughts about my classes. By the time 530 came round I had more people in my first class than ever. Gratitude is bursting out of me right now!
I 100% believe that my attitude towards my classes makes an impact as to how many people come through the door. Sometimes I find myself sitting there before a class later on in the morning and think….if no one turns up I could have some meditation time for myself or if no one shows up to my last class I could go home early and study, and you no what, the instant the thought pops into my head I know I’ve set the tone and you can bet I won’t have anyone for those classes.
I’ve tried a new practice of asking the universe for a certain number of clients each week the night before my classes, as I’m driving to the community centre I visualise filling the room with bright white light and send out positive, welcoming vibes and gratitude. Each week I do this I notice more and more people coming in. Attitude is everything!
Nothing can describe the feeling of looking out and seeing people filling up space in front of you, ready to soak up whatever you have to give them (despite the moaning that sometimes follows with certain poses :p). Each week I become more convinced that I’m on the right path and less tempted to go running back into the safety and security of ‘regular’ full time work (it’s been a thought that has crossed my mind numerous times since starting my own business). This can only work if I make it work, if I have self belief and keep the right perspective.
I am doing what I love and I am so blessed to be able to do it each week. I hope all of you beautiful souls find your bliss and start to follow it, big things happen when you do, sometimes scary, confronting things but trust me it is more than worth it xo.
