January 2018 Newsletter

Dear Barre Beauties,

Happy New Year to our Barre Family! Wishing you all the best in 2018. This is the year to FOCUS.  You can taking “Focus” any way that you choose. For example, you can focus in the broad scheme; focus on you; focus on your career; focus on family; focus on health. This type of broad “focus” is such that you focus the year to stay on task; such as setting goals and stay focused on your end of year goal; that everything you do from now until then, is deliberate and focused. This large goal focus requires every day focus; a focus, an attention, that requires mental strength. This type of mental strength is what we need to be able to wake up and make the choices that lead us to the end goal; whether it is to wake up and head to barre, to wake up and put our best effort forward in school or work or make the right choice and focus on what we feed our bodies. Again, I think this type of focus is the hardest because we stray. So whenever you stray, its ok but remind yourself what you want to accomplish this year. AND one last note, is that the idea of focus can even be narrowed down to every minute of the day. For me this is the hardest. As a wife, mother, business owner,…I lose focus all the time and have to remind myself to focus on one thing at a time. So this year, I will strive to take the broad focus, those large goals into daily goals and minute goals; to stay on track, to be present and focused at the task at hand. So during class, you will see me take that time as my time just for me. When I am at my desk, it is work time. At the dinner table, work is put aside and I am focused on family. These are my goals.  I will write them down on my mirror so I look at them every day. Focus. Be present. Be me. What are yours?

Sharing the Love at Barre + Beyond,

Orlee and the Team
