Memorizing/Speaking aloud vs writing, and recovery.

-
Right now, I'm close to having verses 14 and 15 memorized. But I just tested myself by writing it out. Almost perfect the first time! Why is it that writing something down is so much easier for me than speaking it aloud! It took me a tenth of the time to speak it vs write it. My gift is surely not public speaking. I have struggled in all our all-star tests because of this. I stay positive but I know if I can write it, I'd get the highest marks! But that isn't what those tests are for; so I've learned to use them to improve, even just 1%, my speaking ability in public. 

My body is still in recovery mode, and that's good. Not good that I still have aches and pains - new ones - but I know that my body is actively healing. I also got 8.5 hours of sleep last night, when my average is 5-6. 7hrs are good days. But in those 8.5 hours, I did not get up once! Not even to go to the bathroom or feel my feet cramping! I was knocked out truly. I'd only taken 1 ibuprofen at 7:30ish. I had to, I was feeling it by then and trying my best not to limp. Tango was not my friend yesterday, or maybe it was. It told me a part of my back and ribs were ailing more than I thought. But I slept soundly this morning, and I'll test my body with Tango in my third lesson today. 
Anyway, it's time to finish getting ready, and do another set of stretches. I'm truly still sore but it's a better sore than before. I'll be good by Sunday! Ha! (Sunday is our big Medal Ball event, good timing, huh?)

I hope you have a painless, and joy-full Wednesday!

Lots of love,
Tiffany 💋

The emotional and physical struggle bus

-
This has not been an easy emotional and physical week. It's only Thursday but it feels like it's been a week and a half. It started Monday morning when I couldn't get out of bed because my back was not happy. I don't know why either because I had slept okay. But I literally couldn't move. My roommate was still out of town so I got very worried that if I couldn't figure out a way to get mobile that I wasn't even gonna be able to get to work. It took an hour and 12 minute. But by 10, I was finally able to move and walk around. I do not know why my back just shut down for that time. I'd recently had the random feeling of being in the middle of a lesson and my lower back feeling like it was gonna give out but it doesn't it. I don't know if anyone understands what I mean...however, I know there's 1 person I talked to who said "yeah I know exactly that feeling." It's a very weird feeling. It kind of tells me if I'm doing too much ...

What's up with me??? and planning for the future

-
"Hi, My name is Tiffany Ellen Pereira and I am mistake-prone. My last mistake was this morning." I feel like I should be in mistake AA! Silly, ridiculous mistakes. Not that I haven't made them before but right now they seem to be rampant. I'm working through them every day but I'm tired of making mistakes - and I can't seem to stop them. I think I had a good day then - womp, womp - I wake up to a mistake. My process: What?! How did that happen? I know better; why did I miss that? then I think about how I can change it, if I can change it then should I do it now or is another time better, then I proceed. Though I don't beat myself up anymore - too badly - I still am writing this article about it. I hate it. I've employed so many things to get better but recently I'm just going backwards - at least in my book. I can be happy and excited at work now - that's a plus. But I still am doing silly things - not just at work - but in life. For example: i...

Last 4 day week, and "Fun July"

-
Today begins the last of the four day weeks we've had since we first returned from the pandemic closing us down. We started at three days - well, about 2 1/2 days - and have slowly gained more days. Monday, July 12th we go to half day Mondays. Technically, it will be 4 1/2 days for awhile but a full five day work week is just around the corner.  It hasn't been easy but its been cathartic, too. Three day weekends are awesome. You feel like you have time to do your weekly chores AND have down time/fun time. When your business suffers from something so freaky though, having to go to a three day weekend is not always good for business. It is however good for your mental health if you've been overly stressed, whether you know it/knew it or not.  In the past year, this is what has happened in my neck of the woods (brutal honesty here, with vagueness to keep peoples privacy): Both studios shut down for 2 1/2 months completely. Learning that my job/business is considered non-essent...
