But I Don't Have Time...

​“But I Don’t Have Time...”

Many people will say that the main reason they don't workout, or eat right, is because of time. 

We are all probably guilty of this at some point in our lives. This man made concept that dictates everything we do. We never feel as though we have enough time to accomplish anything.

​We are waking up early to rush to get everyone in the house out the door, off to school/work/or household duties, in the afternoon we may be rushing kids to their afterschool activities­ maybe 2 a day, then rushing home to throw something quick together to eat­ or take out,homework/housework, and then going to bed absolutely exhausted because we spread ourselves too thin.

We are even doing this to our children. Over­scheduling has become the new trend across America. Eventually we will all burn ourselves out with our “so busy” way of life and in the process we are dramatically taking a toll on our wellbeing and our health.

How many times have you said:

● "Oh I will just have to run through the drive through because I don't have enough time to fix dinner." You know you can meal prep.

● "I didn't have time to workout today." 10 minutes is better than none. You could
go for a walk, do a small circuit, stretch.

● "I don't have time to read." But maybe you have time to play on facebook or watch
tv.

● "You should sit in meditation for 20 minutes, unless you don't have enough time.
Then you should sit for at least an hour." This is true. If you think that you don't have
the time­ then you should carve out the time. That should be for all aspects of your life.

Your:
● Workouts

● Eating healthy

● Spending time with your family

● Meditating

● Reading

We have 24 hours in a day. You can find time through your day to add in healthy
options and to cut out things that are not ultimately serving your health.

The best way to go about this is to:
● Write down your daily schedule from what time you wake up to what time you go
to bed. And don’t forget to add in computer time, drive time, tv time, etc.

● Write down your health goals and ways that you would go about achieving them
(i.e. lose 20 pounds: workout at least 30 minutes a day, pack my lunch, etc).

● Now put these side to side. Start to look at what you can remove from your daily
schedule and find ways to add in activities that will help you reach your goals. (Stop
mid afternoon computer time and add in a 30 minute walk. Cut out TV time once a
week and meal prep for lunch.)

If we all cared as much about our health as we do about time­ we would understand
that time goes by fast, and we need to get a grasp on our health while we can!

If you are struggling with finding time to reach your health goals, feel free to email
our staff at horizon@horizontrainingcenter.com and we would love to help you out!

What Yoga Taught Me...

Yoga came to me at a time in my life where I was lost beyond belief.I had always been the type of woman who had her life planned out, and thought if I had a life checklist I would achieve all of my goals.

Well… I didn’t take into account that everything is always changing.

After I had thrown all of my eggs into one basket, the basket was ripped from my griped hands and I was forced to rebuild my life. I didn’t know where to begin.

I immersed myself with friends and family and looked for new hobbies—in those new hobbies, I found yoga.

Something about the intense physical and spiritual journey that I took on that magic yoga mat made me fall in love. I began to learn gratitude, finding peace within myself and my chaotic, jaded mind. And, most importantly, I found self-love.

Yoga saved me from the dark abyss I was in.

Yoga taught me to love myself. How could I expect anyone else to love me, if I did not love and honor myself?

  1. Yoga taught me that my body is beautiful. We may not all be a size zero. We may not all rock those teeny Lululemon hot shorts in class. We are all different on the outside, but the same within. Yoga taught me to be accepting of myself and the way I was divinely created. I have curves that you may not. You have abs that I may not. But you are you and you are beautiful. I am me and I am beautiful! Standing in front of that mirror, I watched my body move in a flow that was expressive of my soul—I found beauty.
  2. Yoga taught me peace in my mind. I now know that when my mind is rambling and my heart aches, the only thing I need to do is either get on my mat and flow through the racing, or slow down and sit in complete silence to meditate it out of me. Yes! Meditate that sh*t out of you!
  3. Yoga taught me truth. What is truly real. What truly matters. My breath. Listening to my body. My soul. Love. This is what matters. Not that my hair is blonde and long. Or what designer clothes I own. These clothes will not be with me till the end of time. My breath will. My body will. My soul will. Love will!
  4. Yoga taught me patience. Well, it’s teaching me patience. Discovering a pose that you love, but working to get to the next level in it—that takes patience. The beginning of my practice, headstands were the most important pose to me because I wanted to perfect it. And because of that, I still struggle with it. It’s not about the asana and perfecting the alignment and completion—it’s about your body and your mind in that pose. Because I placed a value on it, I must be willing to accept that I will never “perfect” it, but I can sure as heck know that my body feels strong in the core and free in my headstand.
  5. Yoga taught me that everything changes. One day I can do a split, the next day I can’t. Who cares?! Every day is a new one. Every day is different. Just another way to awaken you on this journey of life. So, take each day with gratitude for it being granted to you. Enjoy each moment for what it is teaching you!
  6. Yoga taught me self-love! I am beyond grateful for everything that makes me uniquely me—the good, bad and ugly. My mind for all that it is awaken to, all that it comprehends, all that it learns, all that it overcomes. My heart with its ability to see everyone’s potential and love with a nurturing passion from the depths of my own soul. My soul for its ability to continue this journey after taking many unexpected side routes and back roads. And my body. It wakes every morning and breathes every second for me. It embraces all that our Mother has bestowed upon us.


On this journey of life lessons, yoga truly amped up the discovery of myself. Yoga awakened within me the components of love and light.

And it could not have happened if I never learned to love myself.

​Namaste!
