So many amazing things happened this weekend and I could not feel any better (besides the fact that I cant fall asleep and I have to wake up in 5 1/2 hours)
First…my boyfriend and I took a couples yoga class on Saturday afternoon and it was great! Hahaha it was really funny at times considering we don’t have much experience with kundalini yoga and some poses were HARD! But besides that I really got a chance to get inside myself and reach that internal peace that allows me to give even more into the relationship. The class also focused on Imago therapy which is all about communication and REALLY hearing what the person is saying instead of what WE want to hear from them. We did some appreciation exercises and some (harder) frustration dialogues, where you discuss certain problems in the relationship but in a completely beautiful way. The teacher told us that when someone comes to us with a frustration it is “90% about them and 10% about us” which means that we have to be able to get out of our defensive state of being (and not make the problem about US and take it personally) but truly join the “sender” into their frustration and almost feel their emotions in order to obtain true understanding. It was definitely hard but so so so helpful. We worked a lot on “containment and compassion” which basically means that we have to contain our anger and our defensive side (as mentioned before) and be compassionate towards our partner. So that was pretty beautiful and taking some time to nourish a relationship that is so important to me was great!
2nd amazing thing:
On Saturday after yoga (and after being in a wonderful mood) I came home to a package- a BOX, from NEW COLLEGE OF FLORIDA which contained their ACCEPTANCE LETTER, a shirt, a CD (they sent me MUSIC- good music, aka, I’m meant to be there!...what kind of school sends out CDs? An amazing one!) and…wait for itttt………A $14,000 SCHOLARSHIP! Needless to say I almost died of joy. So I’m making plans to travel there ASAP and visit and never come back! hahaha just kiddddinggg I actually have a LOT of scholarship applications to fill out or else I can say bye to my dream school so, if anyone has some extra money feel free to send it my wayyy….hahaha.
And the other amazing things were just random, small, but completely impacting things that happen and we rarely notice, aka sunshine, nice people I encountered at work, having a family lunch to celebrate my sister’s pregnancy, etc etc.
I’m getting a bit sleepy now, so I’ll leave you all with that!
Sweet dreams!
