Hello Steemiters!

I'm tired...

I hope you've all been staying warm! ...because let's be completely honest, I haven't. I hate the cold.

Behemothly.

I had a sudden realization in the bathroom at work today. Here I was, walking in quickly to make a pee when I saw myself in the mirror. My hair was up in a messy bun and I was wearing my dark grey turtle neck. I thought, 'Man, I look like an architect.'

For those of you who don't know, architects are stereotypically known for wearing black just black and with your little accents of grey and white. I honestly cannot tell you why. And for those of you that don't really know (really, why should you, I just really started writing in this blog. WHY DON'T YOU KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT ME ALREADY!?)...I am an aspiring Architect!

It was a good/bad realization as,

Good - I'm continuously growing in this profession and learning new types of confidences. This week one of my challenges required me to stand up against confrontation. I don't think what I went through would be bad for others, but for myself, I'm a people-pleaser so when a few people come to me upset I want to hide in my shame corner like they do in animes.

Man, I feel you Tamaki. I feel you.

Bad - I promised myself when I get to a famous level of architect, I will be wearing color. My favorite projects to work on thus far have been projects full of color and life. I have an excuse though! It is winter, so most of my sweaters are gray but once spring/summer comes kicking around you can be sure to see bright flowery dresses once more!

What you are seeing in the GIFs is a Lonnie who didn't do yoga today, instead she wanted to give her body a rest (and she ended up working late).

Yoga is a really important part of my life. Even though I did not get a practice in today I wanted to still get some handstand hops in my day. One of things I'm most afraid/most challenging pose are the inversions. The handstand is definitely a work in progress, a year in progress. I don't get how other people can do it so easily, but it's all about my path to do a handstand, not theirs. Someday I'll get there! It's all about the practice!

What are you doing to challenge yourself to grow?

Thanks for reading! XOXO!

if for me everything in post in steemit can keep me entertained

We all have those days that we want to just rest our body and mind but the restlessness gets in our head and doesn't let us get what we want.
but hey bright side, you got a lot of work done i assume? haha :)
P.S. So much respect for people who do yoga, it's not easy haha

haha thanks! I did get a lot of work done, but I was hoping I'd get to go home early and play with the dog instead. TwT

well its weekend now hopefully you got some quality time with your dog. :)

Hehe I got some time in. ^^

That's great :)
I post some content time to time , maybe you would like to take a look :)

Cheers!

Hmm. What am I doing to challenge myself to grow... I’d say that instead of doing things later I think of ways I can accomplish them now! 😁

I had no idea about the clothing stereotype and I hope to see you doing handstands next time I visit you!
