Today I am on a roll, things just keep making me smile and the appreciation is everywhere, and the progress my students are making is evident to them and me. I got a decent amount of sleep last night, got home at 10:30pm after a long day, and my phone accidentally dialed my brother in law who had great news. He just started an amazing position that is lucky to have him, and it was worth the wait. My baby woke up to go to the bathroom and then came to our room, fell asleep, we put him back in his bed, and then he came back, but somehow the sleep kept happening. All week my daughter has had the best mornings getting up for school, and excited to be back in school. My baby also has followed my lead in a kiss, a hug, and goodbye see you later, and totally ok with it. I have had some special alone time with my big boy, his school starts next week.
Today I had an amazing conversation with a fellow doula, and she said it helped her connect to her role as a doula. I was telling her that each person is so different, so a rigid formula would not work for everybody. It is important to have a plan, tools, techniques, but ultimately listen to each mother and what she needs in the moment.
Walking out of my Pilates class I noticed a student who after one class did not complain about his back anymore. He fully understood how to activate his core, and now when he needed a break it was because his abs were burning, the good kind of "pain."
I have some time before my PE classes begin, and I was reminded I have a check waiting for me. Could this day get any better?
Bring it,
Coach Yulia
