And just like that…

The back of my mind is telling me there’s a movie quote about this, but I haven’t been able to find it. So I’ll do my best to put it into words myself (you’d think I’d be better at this, seeing as how it’s my literal job).

But how often does it happen that your life changes and you actually notice it while it’s happening?

That’s been me this year. Yes, all year. Yes, I know I need to blog more. And right now I’m feeling like I could write about this for hours. But I need to sleep, so I’m giving myself until I finish my mug of tea. Anyway…

In January and the first part of February, I got my 200-hour Yoga Teacher certification through The Yoga Underground, a studio owned by a family friend here in Provo.

And then I decided it was officially, finally, time to leave Boostability. I’ve had a lot to say about that transition and how overdue it was, but I’m no longer in the business of focusing on the negative. And at the same time, it had to be now; it couldn’t have been earlier.

Now, I’m working in the marketing department at Hemplucid as a content writer. It’s a workplace full of people with similar values, life stories, and goals as me. I started there in mid-April, so I guess it’s been just over a month (already? wow!).

Today, I met up with a family friend/connection who has recently opened a studio space a five-minute drive from the office I now work at. We chatted for an hour and a half and it was an immediate connection. And just like that, I’ve found a studio. I was hardly even looking!

But a few months ago, somewhere between finishing YTT and getting my new job, I decided to start living as if. (I haven’t read that book, but apparently I should.) I decided to start living as though I had the life I wanted. And even though I knew that’s what I was doing, it still worked! It felt like I’d tricked myself into manifesting the life I was looking for.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again:

Feels good.
