Quote of the day:

Don’t wish it were easier, wish you were better…
if you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary.
- Jim Rohn

Stumbeled over this on Tiffany Cruikshanks instagram feed and fell insantly in love with it.
It is completely true for my life and the way I have chosen to live.

Under Construction.

I was catching up with my friend E yesterday.
Even if we are practically neighburs it can be weeks before we find time to actually meet up and when that happens ofcourse there are the usual questions about whats been happening lately.

Well E has a guiness record atemt coming up and thats just super cool!!

And me… well I feel like a construction site.
Several acts under construction, millafloryd.me under constuction, costumes under construction, this summer nightclub “hang out” under construction and to top it of I’ve been and I will be traveling, traveling, traveling.

It’s a wonderful, under construction, life!!

Ask the right questions.

Who do you want to be and how bad do you want it? What sacrifices are you willing to make?
Are you ready to find out how far you can go?
These are actual questions that I ask myself a lot.
It sometimes makes me feel like Morfeus in Matrix and sometimes like a boxing coach.
But even if I ask myself this standing in front of my bathroom mirror with a made up voice, this is serious questions.
And I truly wonder how deep the rabbit hole goes.

The problem is that I'm standing in my own way.

Not in a Gandalf "you shall not pass" kind of way, but still. There I am, and the real question I need to ask is:
Will I let myself through?
Until I start asking that question and contemplating a answer to if I ever will let me pass, no other questions really matter.

Distractments for a rainy day.

 

 

 

Use your skills.

I get inspired by people that are skilled in the art of living and making the most of what they got. Whom they are changes from time to time, sometimes it changes from day to day. But there are some that seems to be endless as sources for inspiration. Like my mom, I constantly get inspired by her. And Bruce Lee, and I don't have to explain why.

How can you incorporate the skills you allready got in a different Environment?

Practice make Permanent.

You have all heard the saying "practice make perfect".
The other day, while practicing, me and a collegue was talking about what happens when you practice and I sad "practice make perfect" and he corrected me and said "practice make permanent".
That is so true.
What you practice over and over will inprint in your - whatever you are practicing - and that is not necessary perfect.
It's the same with your thoughts.
What you choose to think over and over again will reflect on your actions, your actions will reflect in what result you'll get. It might not be a pemanent result, but depending on your thougts, it might be perfect at that time.

Simplifying.

In an attempt to make my life easier I tried to divide my privite self, my yogini self and my performance self. Both for myself and to make it more understanable to others.
My plan was not to mention my profession as an acrobat in a yogic contexts and vice versa. I also did'nt want the parts of my life where I'm not an acrobat and not an yogini to leak into the parts where I am. You know.
But the thing is; being an acrobat or an yogini is'nt really a suit you put on and turn into some predesided hours a day.

Anyhow. I created a special facebookpage for my yogic self. A special facebookpage for my perfomance self. And I also have a "normal" facebook account.
I created one webbsite for performance and one webbsite for yoga.
For some time I even tried to have a special yogablog.
It was exhausting.

Awhile ago I was assisting a HOT MOJO education with one of the founders of the concept, Monica Björn. When she was presenting me for the group of students she told the students - yogastudents - that I am an acrobat. She told yoga people that I am an acrobat! That is not how I divide myself!
Afterwards we talked about it and she made me understand some things. She planted a seed that made me come to the decision I've come to.

The thing is. Being an yogini/acrobat is'nt a suit I put on for a few hours a day. It's who I am through and through. It's in my bones, in my tissues, it makes my heart beat.

Kind of like Superman. Unlike other superheros he doesen't dress up as a superhero. He dress up as a human. He is born to be Superman, he pretends to be Clark Kent.
I'm not pretending to be Milla Floryd but I'm done dividing Milla Floryd into parts.
So I'm putting my yoga facebookpage and my performance facebookpage to rest. If you are a fan of those please become my facebookfriend instead! Please take the whole of me. Yoga, acrobatics, life. Unshattered.
I'm also over some time going to join my two webbsites into one. Simplifying. Yoga and performance at one united place. Because that's who and what I am. It's just like Gaga sings; I'm born this way. I'm a natural born yogabat.
