Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – Day 49: #100daysofinnergrowth Morning rituals… Walk with kong… and tea on the swing as we watch people… and life in general… After a while he falls asleep curved around me like a neck pillow and I listen to music for my creative work or respond to emails/ messages etc I didn’t have a relaxed morning routine before Kong. I’d rush out of the house early for class, with barely any time to think or gather myself. I’d even go for my training at 4:30 am, so that I could make it to class at 6:30 am after training. But I’ve realised that it’s important to slow down sometimes and make space for myself. I like my morning routine now. I had to do the early training, classes, teaching etc at that point in time, but I realised that it’s also important to accept that we need to do different things at different points in time. I had to learn to let go of some things to make space for new things. Neither is wrong… it was necessary at one point in time. It’s just not necessary anymore. 😊 (And before I get hundreds of comments…. Yes I’m tired today. I’ve been working non stop, and some days I’m tired. But I have lots of work to do today – which I will do. No – I didn’t want to use a filter. I’m not unwell. It’s normal for everyone to have some puffy eyes on some days. I don’t wake up with make up and bright eyes and in a saree everyday ♥️) #slowingdown #lifewithkong #gsd #germanshepherd #lovemydog #dogmom #innergrowth #quiet #mornings
