“Don’t make your life’s work of It.”
Did your parents say that? Mine did. Both of them. A lot. Long before I knew what a life’s work was or what my life’s work would be, I was picking up ideas that I shouldn’t waste my time on other stuff.
That’s not what my parents meant. They meant, “Hurry up!”
That’s OK. Now that I’m on the other side of the parent/child relationship, I’ve come to really appreciate that sometimes what I say is not what is heard or understood. Often times, for the betterment of my people.
Today, I broke out the nice, heavy, padded chairs I used in the old studio to teach Chair Yoga and enhance Restorative Yoga. I lovingly cleaned all the chrome. I took my time and vacuumed them fully. Then I spot cleaned the fabric on them.
On the third round of spot cleaning, waiting for them to dry, and spot cleaning again, I thought to myself, “I’m literally making my life’s work of this.”
That’s OK. It feels right to be making my life’s work of something now.
I’m very excited to bring Chair Yoga back to the studio. If you’re looking for a gentle start to yoga, a gentle way to restart yoga, taking care of an injury or your joints, or looking for a fun way to improve strength, flexibility, and mobility -- Chair Yoga is something you should try.
