This year, I decided to go back to school, and no, it's not a yoga school. Although I am still attending yoga workshops and retreats to hone my skill as a student and as a teacher, I felt it was time to move on and learn something completely new. I enrolled in an interior design course.
I am loving it! Even though in the first few weeks of the course, I was so lost and confused, having nightmares and losing sleep, I managed to find my footing.
Baby steps.
It's like attending my first yoga teacher training. I was sooooo lost. I just sat there, mouth hanging open and wondering what the hell the teacher was talking about???
Vatta, pitta, yama, samadhi, 8 limbs (I thought we only have 4!).... It was just too much.
Baby steps. No shortcuts.
I know it's still too early since the course is 2 years long. But hey, I am open to learning. Like anything else , I need to put in a lot of time. And look at this!!!
Who knew I can draw?!
Not me. That's for sure. I seriously surprised myself by drawing this vase. It took more than 5 hours in 2 separate sessions to finish it. But I finished it!
It gave me back pain. But I finished it.
I drew a freaking vase!
Booyah!
I am busier than ever balancing teaching, practicing and completing assignments. But I know I can do it.
Surprise yourself. Do something that scares you.
