Thanks to the influence of social media sites like Instagram, the life of a digital nomad seems glamorous and alluring. The images are often over sexualized and misleading (my friend RV Chickadee recently wrote a pretty funny – and accurate – blog about this).
The truth is that a digital nomad has to work for a living. Usually, pretty dang hard. And just like anyone else in any other job, we can get burnt out. When you live your passion full time, it’s easy to lose perspective and lose that passion. We have to take active steps to stay creative, and stay happy.

Vlog #33: Keeping Your Passion Alive
Man Bun Yoga
Well, now that the secret is out I guess I can talk about @manbunyoga! This is me and Kendrick’s creative little outlet. If you check out the account, you will see that we make a few jokes about both man buns and yoga. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE a good man bun – I’m not discouraging them. We are simply poking fun at those who might take their man bun just a little too seriously! Here’s a little peek at some of my faves:
-
- Be calm like a lake, then you will look beautiful, like a beautiful calm man bun.
-
- All good journeys in life start with yoga, and all good yoga starts with a man bun.
-
- There are no shortcuts on the road to the perfect man bun.
-
- The path to enlightenment is full of many challenges, the first of which is keeping that man bun high and tight.
-
- Breath deep: in through the nose, all the way up to the top of your man bun. And, exhale.
-
- I like agood man bun and I also like staring at the sea – do I have to chose between the two?

Love the video and your personal project. Didn’t know about manbun until now but it’s really great. As always, you are our greatest inspiration. Can’t wait to see the Tetons for myself this September. Hoping I can catch you on a local visit one time soon. I love YOUR light! Chris

I checked out the Man Bun Yoga Instagram site after watching your video. Looks like you are having fun, both of you. Great outlet. It made me smile (much like the videos by AwakenWithJP). Thanks for sharing your passion.

Oh I’m so glad you checked it out! It is fun. Glad you thought of the connection to JP… he probably had a little influence on it, haha.
