Get comfortable with the uncomfortable

I recently moved across the country from my tiny hometown of Bloomer, WI (that's Wisconsin, just saving you the time to Google it.). Fun trivia fact: Bloomer is the jump rope capital of the WORLD. We had competitions until high school for the most jumps in 30 seconds. My highest ever was in the 3rd or 4th grade at 44 jumps. Anyway, I digress, (this is gonna happen all the time).
 So, now I'm out in Seattle. I moved to teach yoga full time (I also have a 'real' part-time job, working from home. People have a hard time believing one can teach yoga full time and it be  a 'real' job.). The first month was good, easy-ish. Month #2 and beyond has been a struggle. I've been trying to sit with this discomfort, letting it 'burn out' but HOLY FUCK it's hard. But this is my current practice, on and off my mat. 

I did finally find a CrossFit gym I like, that isn't crazy expensive and the workouts are what I wanted. Mainly lifting, short WODs, some stretching/mobility. 

I made this for lunch:

It's Salmon, cooked with ghee, lemon juice, and capers. I tried to reduce the sauce with coconut milk but I think I failed, but it didn't taste bad. That's sautéed spinach & asparagus underneath (I used ghee & salt). 

I hang out with these guys a lot:

The black one is mine, Charlie and the other little nugget is Zoey. 

This afternoon, I'm preparing a Beatles playlist for class. Life is hard :)
