Day 18 of my Modo Yoga Winter Warrior Challenge. It was a tornado of emotions for me today. Between tears and laughter, I had a great day. I wish my pépère Dupuis a Happy Birthday in heaven. Je t’aime and I miss you! Thanks to my colleagues and the students for the fun we had setting up traps today. I consider myself very lucky to live near my niece and family and friends. Good night to all.

Day 6 of Yoga Winter Warrior Challenge. This morning, I am grateful for the kindness of the instructor who let me adapt in order to be kind to myself! I was welcomed by a headache this morning and it was burning my whole right side of the face. Instead of skipping my yoga, I propped myself on a boster and lied there opening my chest. It felt great. I am reading this amazing book that reminds us or the importance of taking care of our physical and mental health. Mark Manson is questionning the fact that we all want to “change ourselves” to achieve more. Is that really healthy? #markmanson #reading #modoyoga #winnipeg #saturdaymorning #blessed #headache (à Modo Yoga Winnipeg) https://www.instagram.com/p/Caus9m2uHKEEJzb1J8mTnN93k8Xii-cSLLQCyk0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day 4 + 5 of Yoga Challenge with Modo Yoga Winnipeg: thanks to Elise Gravel for her books about diversity. I am proud of being sensitive. At school, we would make fun of me and exclude me as I was a “cry baby”, but NOW I am proud of being STRONG to show my emotions. #elisegravel #émotions #modoyogawinnipeg #tears (à Modo Yoga Winnipeg) https://www.instagram.com/p/CasNnjlu09FX7mtUXlfDW5aaSHMAzFeRebMaI00/?utm_medium=tumblr

January 11th 2022

This week, I decided not to underestimate my worth. Let me explain - as most children are not back in schools yet, I offered my services as a in-house tutor. I am a teacher. I obtained my diploma at the Université de Saint-Boniface in 2012. WOW! I cannot believe it's been 10 years already.

Anyways, sorry for being side tracked. I wasn't sure how much to charge so I lowered my price. After speaking to my father, I asked for a higher price as all my studies and years of experience are worth something.

Even though it backfired into me not having a job this week, I am proud of stepping up to value my worth. Do you think I did the right thing?

Why can some women be so mean to other women?

October 10th 2021

The Covid-19 pandemic was hard for many people. I have to admit that I really found it a challenge to be living alone. I have depression and anxiety and living in solitude can be very dangerous for the mental health. But what I want to share has nothing to do with the pandemic nor solitude.

In summer 2021, I wrote to a girlfriend of mine that I haven't spoken to in years due to the forced isolation. I asked her if she wanted to go for a walk. Thankfully she accepted and we went for a nice walk in the park. After that moment, we started hanging out often and we hung out a lot.

Now for those of you who know me, know that I don't surround myself with girl friends often due to the bullying and exclusion I went through during my schooling life. But, I was whilling to take a chance with our new found friendship as she also needed a good friend by her side. I was so grateful to have her as a friend.

Then, one night, we hung out with some of her friends and she started getting angry at me for being nice to her friends. She was jealous and would ignore me for days till I appologized to her. I didn't understand what I was doing wrong.

This continued for weeks till she decided to block me as she said that I was a slut and that I was sleeping around with her friends to get back to her. I was so hurt by her words that I started to beg her for an appology for something that I hadn't done. She started spreading rumors about me and was threatening me via text. I know that most of you will say that I should have moved on and blocked her, but I am not good at that.

Instead, she blocked me. She said that I was too toxic for her and a bad influence. Those words really hurt me as I had done so much for her and her daughter.

Thankfully, I decided to join my Yoga studio again and did lots of meditation. I learned to let go of the situation and focus on people that actually respect me.

This weekend, she started calling me non stop during the night. She woke me up at 3:00 am and then at 4:00 am and then 5:00 am. I didn't want to pick up as I didn't want her negative energy in my life. I just ignored the phone. This made her so angry that she sent me mean texts again and was accusing me of spreading rumors about her and that I should stop ruining her life.

I was so surprised as I didn't talk or think about her since she blocked me. I didn't want to enter in her games so I finally did blocked her this morning. I decided that I won't let anyone treat me like that anymore. I am always sad to lose a friend, but I want to learn to love me and become my own best friend.

Start of my Future Book

Do you know the story of David and Goliath? We all know the ending but let me share a similar story that is a little different as it doesn't talk about two men, but rather a huge man and a tiny naive woman named Evelyne.

Once upon a time a young woman, named Evelyne was starting university at the age of 18. She was a little nervous as she didn't know many people and the University was bigger than her high school. Soon, everything fell into place and she was confident when going to her classes. She met lots of new people and was pleased with herself.

Thanks for the sleep I received. I admired 2 female deer passing in front of my mom's window this morning. What does it mean? I am unsure, but it was magnificient.

I practiced the Lion's Breathe in Yoga this morning. It's suppose to help you letting go of what others think of you. I need that for sure. I am getting better at it though.

My stomach needs some love this morning. How I want to give it some, but it's hard when it's so big and always seeking my attention.

Love,

Rachelle

"At first it's barely noticeable. One day, you don't feel like doing anything anymore. Nothing interests one, he gets bored. And that tear doesn't go away, it's slowly increasing. It gets worse from day to day, week to week. One feels more and more disgruntled, more empty, more dissatisfied with oneself and the world. Then this feeling disappears in the open and you don't feel anything anymore. You become totally indifferent and gray, everyone seems strange and it doesn't matter anymore. There is no more anger or enthusiasm, one can no longer rejoice or gridle, forgets to laugh and cry. Then it's gone cold inside one and you can't love anyone anymore. When this point has been reached, the disease is incurable. There's no return anymore. It runs back and forth with an empty, grey face, and has become one just like the grey men themselves. He's one of them. This disease is called deadly boredom." - Translation from Michael Ende's book, Momo (1995).

Day 5 challenge with ADRIENE! What a wonderful instructor. Today we were to notice how it feels to be alive. I feel great to be alive. I already managed to do lots this morning and was very productive. I am abundance and I find all that I need in the right time.

I can also appreciate rediscovering poses today. We did Warrior pose today and it was interesting to see that my stomach got in the way. I am sending it love and patience.
