Always Be Learning

When I quit my job and moved to Mykonos, I wanted to make sure that I continued to challenge myself in new ways. I was very worried about learning Greek, but I was up for the challenge. I'm not going to lie, Greek is a very difficult language to learn, but if I'm going to live somewhere, I want to put in the effort to learn about the culture and the language.

What's great is that everyone here is very supportive and happy that I'm learning Greek. I have become a regular at a few different spots, and I love to share what I learned that day and practice speaking. A little goes a long way when people can see that you are putting in the effort to learn, and the locals truly appreciate it, even if they all speak English.

In addition to learning Greek, I am pushing myself in other ways. I'm taking a pilates class twice a week, and let me tell you, Sofia knows how to push me to my absolute maximum. I have almost cried a couple of times, but I always feel strong and amazing afterwards, and I appreciate that she pushes me even further than I think is physically possible sometimes.

With my newfound free time, I'm also trying out new hobbies. I'm doing yoga on my own (which I would have never thought I was capable of even a few months ago), I started to cross stitch, and I'm reading more. It's important to constantly learn and challenge yourself to be the best version of yourself that you can be. It's never too late to start learning something new!

On that note, I am heading back to the US tomorrow, and in July I am heading to Bali for a yoga teacher training. Again, I wouldn't have thought I was capable of this even a few months ago, but I am following my passion, and I look forward to where it'll take me.
