How many times has this happened to you? You get an inspired idea, you feel energized to make a move, you are on the brink of actually make things happen…. And then nothing. Nothing happens. You are waiting for something. A small sign or a big yes, something elusive, some message… or simply for your inertia to lift….
Welcome to the Waiting Place! We all know this place too intimately. Here is how Dr. Seuss describes it:
“You can get so confused
that you’ll start in to race
down long wiggled roads at a break-necking pace
and grind on for miles across weirdish wild space,
headed, I fear, toward a most useless place.
The Waiting Place…
…for people just waiting.
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting around for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow.
Everyone is just waiting.
Waiting for the fish to bite
or waiting for wind to fly a kite
or waiting around for Friday night
or waiting, perhaps, for their Uncle Jake
or a pot to boil, or a Better Break
or a string of pearls, or a pair of pants
or a wig with curls, or Another Chance.
Everyone is just waiting.
NO!
That’s not for you!
Somehow you’ll escape
all that waiting and staying.
You’ll find the bright places
where Boom Bands are playing.”
Oh, the Places You’ll Go! by Dr. Seuss
How many times have you thought about finally taking care of yourself? Adding a bit of exercise to your day? Taking a gym class? Or practicing yoga? Eating more fruit and veggies?
Especially towards the end of December we think a lot about our achievements (or the lack of them). With just 3 weeks to go till the New Year, we invite you to have a close look at the wellness goals you set this January. Will you set the same resolutions in January 2014?
Sometimes you need a little nudge to get you out of that waiting place! If taking up yoga is on your list for next year, we are here to help!
Waiting for a Clayton Yoga Studio offer you cannot refuse? Stay tuned. We might just have what you are looking for!
P.S. We just couldn’t resist sharing this cute video of the Dr. Seuss classic, “Oh, the Places You’ll Go!” Enjoy!
