Coming home from our last trip to Italy I felt a sense of sadness that I had no more trips planned for the near future and that the honeymoon was over. I had to start putting all my plans over the last year and a half into action. One of which was to start teaching my yoga. Since Alessia was born, I never allowed myself worry about where my career was going. Although i did get a pang in my stomach when I thought of my tv career and how I had said no to work in BBC to look after my daughter. But then I would look at Alessia and think of all the great things she has given me and within seconds it was no longer a thought.
Instead, I have cherished and am cherishing every second of those hundred hugs and kisses a day and wakeful nights as I know they are a phase and soon I will long for just one more night sleeping in the same bed and getting woken to her hugging and kissing me non stop.
But with all my trips over and the adrenaline of constant travelling I felt I had to come down. Back to normality, but these thoughts didn't last long as I realized as always I can make my own reality and when you find walking to the shop with a wicker basket extremely exciting you know that you are easily pleased.
So instead I started to think of it just as another phase, where I could spend time with my fantastic family and friends and allow Alessia gain confidence in the one place for a while. I used all my free time to study and practice my yoga. Since leaving India i have kept up my daily practice and I could see improvements every day.
Instead of feeling nervous and scared about starting to teach, I felt excited with the new challenge. I wasn't going to question was I good enough, or was this enough or try and do too much too soon. Instead I would let it organically grow by word of mouth and slowly over the last two months I can see my business grow.
I've never stressed or worried would things work out, how will my future pan out am i making the right choices. I knew things would fall into place as they were meant to as I was constantly taking action. I was enjoying my daughter to the max, I couldn't have felt more blessed while molding out a career for myself that suited me and my life style.
When i think of how I could have spent my precious time with Alessia lost in thought, wondering what I will do, instead of enjoying her. Realizing that coming back to normality isn't actually a bad thing as I loved my reality, plus I had a very exciting Trip to India to Look forward to in Autum to further my yoga studies.
Since coming back to Ireland I have really felt it actually doesn't matter where you are, every day can feel like a holiday if you let it.
