My brain is a bit fried, I am so happy I am done with all things work, and all appointments. Tomorrow is all about enjoying a Yoga class with my teacher, and then getting the house and mind ready for a 24 hour fast. There are so many articles, history, and thoughts on Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish Nation. Many people I know connect to their Judaism on this day, and everyone connects differently.
Yom Kippur makes me think about who I am and who I want to be. I am content, satisfied, grateful, and fully present to the blessings in my life. Life keeps moving forward, we do not want to be stagnant, I personally want to keep growing, learning, tweaking, and transforming. I would like to think all of the qualities mentioned in the words at the beginning of this blog, I am to express on a daily basis. One thing I could definitely improve upon is #4 Rarely Complain. I suppose some things I express in this blog are complaints. My husband is the one that hears all the things I do not say to the rest of the world. Everywhere else I carry a torch, at home I release and let myself just be. This is good in some ways, but my husband and my kids deserve all of me. My clients and everyone I come across gets my positive view, my happy space, and an energy exchange. I am going to be conscious of spilling the unpleasantries in a space at the appropriate place and time.
Yom Kippur also makes me aware of the world that we live in, so disconnected from each other and reality in many ways, connected through our social media and electronics, that for me are so helpful and wonderful. I feel it is important to have a balance of both. The following article gives an insight to the holiday and the concept of suffering. I really believe in the paragraph below, it is the truth, but in our society today this concept is lost. Life in a positive way is a struggle, it is not easy, otherwise we would be bored. You can follow the link below to read the full article.
In the old days, people recognized suffering as a part of regular life. Suffering was normal. It was ordinary. You accepted it as part of the regular reality of existence.

We go through life searching for our purpose,
Evaluating the path that we are currently on,
Making New Choices,
Asking For Guidance and Support,
Make The Effort,
It Is Worth It,
Find You,
Coach Yulia
