What a lovely place - thank you for sharing. I might borrow the Idea to write positive affirmations, goals and other things I need to remind myself of here and there.

I have taken smaller courses and can't really afford to go for certification right now but truthfully, the most valuable NM learning I have done is self-taught through actual real-world experience.

I am in love with studying the plants around me. It seems so much more useful to me than trying to know all these plants I don't even have access to or will never use.

I've got a big book where I keep notes on each plant (where they are growing, when they should be harvested, when they go to seed, issues, etc., what they are beneficial for, any safety hazards and various recipes). Eventually, I'll add some sketches and photographs as well. I just keep building up these pages as I discover more about each plant or tree.

I am confident that you are a fantastic yoga instructor, but if instructing brings you anxiety right now rather than joy, then perhaps you need to allow yourself the pleasure of doing it for yourself until you feel ready. Honestly, learning from an instructor that is being real is so refreshing, I would love to learn from you.
