I was sharing with her that this is soooooo much to learn and know and do and that Nia is so vast that sometimes it is overwhelming and she reminded me to look at what I have accomplished. We continued to apply this attitude to both of our lives, and all that we had done. And in the vastness that is technology (including my iPhone) I do not use it as well as I could. It can do a lot more but some things I am not ready to let it do (as an example sync ALL my contacts from my computer/e-mail into my phone — that is too much for me right now).

Honestly, in my opinion, the iPhone as a phone—BAD! Icky, almost to the point of worthless. ALMOST. But the computer aspect and all the applications—-awesome! WAY worth it. There is so much, I think I could spend all my time learning it and using it. I don’t use 1/100th of its capabilities. But thank you . . . I should focus on my accomplishments and not on all that I am NOT doing!

It is awesome to use the recorder to learn. And since I always have my phone with me I can listen to it to learn anytime. I do that with the Nia Telecourses too. I put them in iTunes so I can download them into my iPod(/iPhone) and listen to them whenever I want.

I don’t use everything in my life as much as I think I should and could. But . . . as we are talking in another conversation we are having . . . . I am still learning. There is so much . . . I will continue to learn. And when I get at that point where I think I am not doing a good job of learning and doing, I will stop and I will look back at how far I have come and I will take a deep satisfied breath and give thanks because there has been progress.

I love the 7 Minute Conditioning exercise too.

Thank you, My Friend.

I forgot to say that one of the main reasons I even dabble in technology is that my Wonder-Hubby is a techie-kind-of-guy. So he helps me a lot.

I’m sitting here with my jaw dropped reading your blog and thinking, OMG…Terre Pruitt is one amazing woman; she utilizes everything in her life to better understand and practice Nia — which is why Principle #5 of Nia is “Awareness: Dancing Through Life”. I’m in awe, really, Terre. I love how you are using your iPhone to create voice content and timing your Stages.

I love the 7 Minute Conditioning exercise that Debbie Rosas introduced. 1 minute each of the 5 Stages; 1 minute of getting up and down from the floor and 15 seconds “cooking on all sides” while belly laughing. (Cooking on all sides, and I think you mentioned this in an earlier blog, is laying on the back, turning to one side, laying on the belly, turning to the other side.)

Another grand blog my dear. You rock.
