Day 3 - High-paying Hobbies

Good Afternoon World!~

So, I'll tell you why I love the weekends:

1) No rules. You can do whatever you want, whenever you want, for any length of duration as you see fit and pleasing.

2) Brunch. Who said vegetables are only for dinner and eggs for breakfast? One two-egg-white Swiss cheese, tomato and avocado omelette, with multi-grain pancakes and agave nectar on the side... coming right up! Yes.

3) Productivity. Somehow, when able to dictate my own timetable I find myself to be more productive. That is to say, in areas that I value such as cooking, laundry, grocery shopping, meditation and general preparation for the week...which leaves me with that much more time to do whatever pops into my free-flowing mind. Freedom.

- Day 3 of the 43-day journey to freedom and I am in full effect. I plan to set up my empire and stream multiple means of income: Way #1 - Yoga.

I have been a certified Yoga instructor on and off going on six years now. I have taught for universities, students, faculty, staff, volunteer programs, athletic programs, dance studios, children's yoga, yoga for the elderly and am currently studying on maternity yoga. *You have to look really close to find me in this picture ;-)

I enjoy it. I have fun. I would teach even if I wouldn't get paid to do so. It's a way to share my lifestyle with others in a safe and encouraging environment. No stress, no pressure and full acceptance however you come.

One concern: they say that when you love something you should keep it your hobby, and that when you switch it over to a source of income, your love for that hobby will decrease.

Now I don't know who THEY are, but if I had to guess, I would venture to say they also don't know what it feels like to actually LOVE what you do. Just saying. I'm at least willing to try it. Seems like a win-win to me. Never really thought of doing it full-time...but why not?

Now not to say I'm going to get rich off teaching yoga...granted, I am in no way seeking to be a millionaire...though the effects of that amount of wealth would leave me a vast means to help others and share knowledge, I AM open to the possibility. haha. Think about it though, what hobby do you have that you could turn into a full-time gig?

I have, however, decided it is high time to turn this hobby into a habit; one that I can count on to keep my lights running. :-)

You may take about 15 minutes today and do a little journaling.

Ask yourself...what would I do if I wouldn't get paid for it?

It may lead you to your next bill-paying hobby.
