Finding myself branching out more to more "trivial" pursuits such as Yoga and dancing. Not sure how far and where these pursuits will take me. Getting a phone call from LA fitness manager to discuss my application of a yoga teacher position there today, it seems being a yoga teacher is within my reach, not a distant dream that I can fancy about. And that also mean, it will take time away from my "serious pursuits" such as writing papers and pursue my academic career. And the tango lessons that I have been taking along with the Chinese folk dancing at Church make me look like a very "non serious" academics.
My academic career, so far, is really lackluster. Teaching in an online university is more like a professional suicide with the only comfort that pay is okay. With the increasing threat of job security, even that comfort starts to feel not so sure anymore. Dancing and doing yoga give me peace of mind and take me to a different world, sometimes I am wondering if these activities simply delay me to do things that really need to be taken care of urgently, or they keep me balanced. I do not know.
Do other people also have so much doubts about themselves? I wonder. Or I should keep myself engaged on all activities to do more and think less?
