And the vision of surprising my parents with a yoga retreat or an overseas venture definitely keeps me going!

Wake, make bed, brush teeth, light yoga/meditation. 

If you are thinking future appreciation, these parks are even hosting morning yoga events.  

Or "lifestyle" businesses (i.e. a yoga studio if you are a yoga instructor). 

If this were true, I as an investor could go buy up a few blocks of post-industrial wasteland in any one of a hundred failing cities around the country, throw in a coffee shop and a yoga studio and some concrete counters, and just start raking in the dough while simultaneously destroying the lives of the locals.

Maybe you want to start a business, get an MBA, become a yoga teacher, etc.

Also do occasional hot yoga (which will make you feel like a completely new person - and my wife loves it!)

But I enjoy reading (about how to be successful in real estate and self improvement books), working out, yoga, I'm an avid cook, I volunteer at a horse farm (planning on getting back into riding and competing in the relatively near future), getting into autocross, and getting into poker. 

I am sorry that facts hurt you're ever so fragile feelings and pierce that paper thin skin.Hey, maybe after your morning tofu and goat-yoga ya can hug it out in the afternoon feelings circle about the big bad meanie with math's and all will be well. 

One needs to find balance through yoga, exercise or just quiet time, and the secret that NYers know is that we all take that time.
