Weekly Schedule 1/24/2022 — Doing What You Know
A little corner of DTC/SF Studio B with our new signage on the corner of Geary and 21st Ave.
Week 98 - Time has passed since the holiday bustle and stress, and we've taken some time to look inward and focus our intention for the year ahead. As we wind down January, let's take a moment to look to February to see where we can make small changes to achieve any larger goals.
For our upper level DTC/SF dancers, audition season is here. Covid restrictions have really complicated an already stressful time by throwing uncertainty into the mix. Carving out time for inner focus helps us stay flexible when life gets unpredictable.
If your inner dialogue is anything like mine, you're hearing, "but I don't have time to stop -- there's so much to do!"
That inner voice is wrong.
You know this. I've been using an "authenticity check" of sorts by asking myself, "would I say this to a good friend, or is this something I tell myself?" For very few of us, we wouldn't dream of telling our dear friend they shouldn't rest. Doesn't it even look ridiculous lying there on the screen?
You know the benefits. Rest helps your body restore and improve it's functions. You're better able to handle whatever comes your way if you are resting. Keep (or start) creating times for rest and rejuvenation EVERYDAY, whether it's a five-minute breathing meditation, or breathing your way through Gyrotonic group class. Creating this type of boundary will help you achieve these larger, loftier goals. Creating the boundary helps you do what you already know you need to do.
Here's what's on the schedule this week:
7:00am PST - Monday, 1/24/2022
