Friday, December 16, 2016

Crawled into my bed at 6:30pm last night and was probably asleep by 7:00 or 7:30.  It felt wonderful.  Yesterday was an odd day where I didn't quite feel like myself (the wine I drank with dinner the night before probably had something to do with it). lulz

Today is a new day and I'm going to be hitting my mat in a few minutes to sweat it out.  I'll continue with my abbreviated Primary Series.

On a completely  un-yogic note, Rogue One comes out today!!!!

Friday, December 16, 2016 (Part II)
Post Practice: Following through and hitting the mat is never a bad thing.  I'll say that my body felt thick and stodgy this morning (as it has many times in the past); imagine overly-cold honey or maple syrup that doesn't want to move.  I warmed up fairly quickly and ended with the deepest backbends I've done yet.

My mind was all over the place.  I had negative thoughts this morning so I'm going to be careful as I move and speak throughout the day today.  Best practice is to recognize these negative thoughts and then train myself throughout the day today to not allow them to influence my thoughts, words, or actions.

It's Friday!!!  Yesterday was pay-day!!!  And, again....Rogue One has come to a theater near me today!!! ....what's to complain about? :)

Namaste

Monday, February 13 2017 Groggily woke at 5:00am this morning.  I've had coffee and I'm on my mat but may not do a physical practice this morning. Monday, February 13 2017 (Part II) Did prayer/meditation on my mat and went through my standard warm-up routine.  That's all I have in me.  I'm going to move through my day slowly and with care and come home to crash in my bed.

Re-Building + Persistence

Tuesday, January 23, 2018 Re-building a routine is hard. I woke at my usual 5:00AM this morning and did not want to get out of my bed. I'm on my mat as I write this, however, and will be beginning my practice shortly.  I've found that, like most habit changes, the 3rd day "hump" is usually the most difficult; get past that, and you're golden. Tuesday, January 23, 2018 (Part II) I'm writing this on my mat, having just come out of Savasana. As always when we push ourselves through something we don't want to do, it feels good when it's done and over with.  I'm feeling wonderful, connected, and ready to address the challenges the day might throw at me.

Asana

Monday, March 30, 2020 After no physical practice/Asanas on Friday, and no yoga over the weekend, I notice that it's difficult to stay motivated and dedicated to my practice at times.  Additionally, I ran a solo-10K this weekend (the St. Louis GO! Marathon/Half-Marthon/10K was cancelled, like most public events), and the additional tenderness in my feet, legs, etc. definitely told me not to get on my mat. Monday blues/malaise, essentially.....a "negative mind"... When I'm on my mat, feeling like it's pointless, and that the day ahead is pointless, and that the efforts I'll expend to make things better are pointless, I can go back to the foundations of my life.  First, what do I live for?  I live for God.  That is my attempted mantra every day. It is not for me/you to understand the purpose of anything.  Pulling yourself out of an equation is very liberating in that you're no longer attached to the result. It's 5:27AM as I type this, and it...
