So many updates. Where to begin. Last we left it, I was getting some pretty amazing creative downloads and with them a new found energy to just go out and try - just do without thinking. As some of you may know, most of what I do is think way too much without taking action. So I'm pretty proud to say that the idea I had about wanting to teach a movement class actually happened! I actually did it. I asked some friend and fam to attend, they did, we had fun and I learned a ton. Just because you can dance doesn't mean you can teach and I get that 100% but despite still having a lot to learn, I was surprised by how comfortable and confident I felt while actually leading the class. I was super calm the day leading up to the class which was a solid indicator to me that I was doing something right. I know that I want to do it again and keep refining the structure but the question is when?
Update numero dos is that I'm working again. YAY! I was trying to find a job that I'd be excited about for a little while and I found something right here in the city. Going back to project management for a company that I have a connection to this time and I'm excited to see how this goes. I think the biggest test is going to be how I'm able to weave in the act of creating and sharing into my now structured lifestyle. There is no more going to dance at 10am or writing in The Assembly garden in the mornings. I need to adjust. First step I'm taking is getting up at 6am and writing (maybe do some movement eventually). Then nights I can spend dancing or taking class. I kind of need to be protective of my creative time now and it'll be interesting to see how I manage. I also need more than ever to set some goals. For example, committing to another movement class. The more I can plan the better.
Last thing is that I'm about a half way through my #100daysofdancingbarefoot! I still have a long way to go but I can't stop now - I've seen how powerful the simple act of movement can be.
