Yesterday I forgot the pair of glasses or contacts that I normally practice yoga with. I have very little visual acuity without corrective lens’ and thought it would be kind of liberating to feel and practice my way through class – hot class.

Although I’ve done this before a couple of times, yesterday I was very mistaken. During the first 15 minutes I discovered that I am already spatially self aware however without corrective lenses and both feet on the ground I am vulnerable to fall. I became terrified, frustrated and felt a lot of self pity. I found that without the sense of sight my mind became very chatty and defeatist.

I needed to get control of my emotions quickly because it was unnecessary to feel all those emotions. It wasn’t helping me practice.

How would I practice if I were blind? Simple. Just keep practicing. This video is some pretty intense inspiration.

I was moved by my dedication and did something I probably shouldn’t have last night. I was thinking about next week, next month, next year – I’d call that my “expectation’s podcast” in my mind. Today I’m going to switch it up. My theme for the day in my week of presence is to “keep it together”. Stay here, stay now, and those podcasts that don’t serve me can be turned off for now.

I have embarked on a 40 days to Personal Revolution, Baron Baptiste style, and I have found that in this week of presence that there are some things that I can live without.

Normally an unforeseen expense would keep me awake at night and bitchy Corey would come for a visit. Yesterday on such expense fell from the sky. It bothered me for a bit, but then I saw my future and changed it. These things will happen but they do not make me or own me. I slept like a log.

I worked steadily on a budget in September and I noticed I made a flaw in my calculations. Normally, finances would send me into a panic because I have never had much of any, but I see that it does not serve me to panic. Money is there when I wake up and go to bed so nothing is wrong.

I use “can’t” a lot in my internal thoughts and that keeps me ever looking forward and backwards. I can’t do the dishes, I have too much to do. I can’t complete your request, I have about 30 before you. I can’t meet you about your job, I don’t have a timetable that works. You get the picture. So I am dropping “can’t” and its’ evil cousins don’t and won’t.

I wonder what other evolutions are waiting for me. It doesn’t matter really, I want he surprise.
