I m cheekily changing the title from:
“Engagement is ..” to “Playing around, is the highest form of love.”
Cheeky, because I know playing around is associated with sex, and not with fiddling with your playlists on your YouTube channel;
As I ve been doing this Sunday.

And it wasn’t just this weekend and this morning, when I spent copious amounts of time on YouTube, and discovered that the answer to “What do you DO”, as a content creator, can just as well be answered as:
“I make playlists on YouTube”
as with:
“I m a blogger and a YouTuber.”

When I started this blog 11 days ago, it changed everything.
I knew it would be an important step for developing Rock Star Yoga, a concept I ve been playing around with since 2019.
I knew it was important for understanding what I would be writing about, what I would be filming, and if I would ever actually teach, yoga again.
And important to what I would be calling myself, what my identity would be.

But I didn’t know how quickly it would go, and that here, on day 11, after a whole weekend of massive Yoga Playlist Renovation! 
I can share with you the moving parts of what Rock Star Yoga/ #dailybonjoviyoga is all about.

Rock Star Yoga/ #dailybonjoviyoga IS THIS daily blog.

Where you get (1) a story, (2) a Bon Jovi concert, a soundtrack for that day
And (3) yoga practice you can do, based on the day of the week.
Not necessarily in that order.

But to be able to write that, and to guide you in your practice, this blog comes with YouTube playlists:

First off: A Playlist with on-this-day Bon Jovi concerts
This blog revolves around yoga AND a Bon Jovi live recording from that day.
You can find a new, daily updated, on-this-day playlist, with all the concerts from this blog, right here:
Bon Jovi concerts on this day

And then the yoga!
At a separate page on this blog,
https://dailybonjoviyoga.com/practice-materials-and-schedules/,
you can find the Rock Star Yoga/ #dailybonjoviyoga Blueprint!

Every day of the week is themed differently, but also, every weekday has a playlist.

Week Schedule: Guided Yoga

Rock Star Yoga/ #dailybonjoviyoga can be practiced in different ways.
Using a Bon Jovi album or concert, as the soundtrack for your practice, is just one of them, because I ll also be sharing instructional yoga videos.

👩🏼‍💻 The Story June 20

.
I cannot remember I was ever this absorbed in a project.
It has never taken me so long to fully understand what wanted to come through.
Years.

But now that I ve started this daily blog, and came up with the schedule on day 3 or something, I am on this train of knowing what the next step is, and I can barely keep up with the work. I happily, give my days to this project.
I am fully, immersed in it and the work just flows out of me.

I feel I have done more work in the past 10 days than in the past 4 years.

Not because of hustle and grind; but because I let myself fully engage in what I love.
Writing.
Yoga.
Bon Jovi.
Making YouTube playlists.
And all for days on end, often until way after midnight.

I hardly need any sleep, yet I feel more awake than ever.

If you want to learn an important yoga lesson today;
Find out how you can love yoga.
Do you like making playlists on YouTube, like I do?
Then do that.
Do you like taking online courses, or browsing Instagram, or making collages? Listening to podcasts?
Then do all those things, with yoga!

Don’t let Just Do It, lead the way.
But Just Love It.
