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

Good Enough

Thursday, December 19, 2024 Feelings and emotions (in general) are things that I advise anyone to be aware of, but to never let them control you (a feeling isn't real and an emotion isn't real either, despite what Pixar and Inside Out, etc. all have to say to us about emotions).   The emotion/feeling of being "good enough" can work for us and against us (some days we feel more than good enough and some days we don't); whether "good enough" is working for us or against us, it should still be observed, but never focused on much.  I woke up not feeling "very good" and or "good enough" and or blah blah blah...... I am happy that I'm on my mat, and beginning my practice as I know I will feel better afterwards.  Time to begin... Part II: As always, I write the initial post before my practice, and I write the Part II immediately after I've concluded my practice.   My perspective and outlook has changed so much from a few hours ago.  ...

Monday Yoga

Monday, July 24, 2023, After an enjoyable and yoga-less week and weekend, I'm back on my mat. We'll see what today's practice brings.  It's 5:20am, and it's time to begin... Part II: As always, the first update is before I practice, and Part II is written immediately after my practice is complete; usually about ~2 hours later.  I was stiff.  I was sore.  I was unfocused.  I was bloated. No matter how "uninspired" a practice can be, it always refines you into a better version of yourself.  For that, I'm grateful.  Time to enter the world.  Namaste

Tuesday Yoga

Tuesday, April 30, 2019 Last day of April 2019. I woke at my usual 4:30AM this morning and had my hour of coffee and contemplation. Physically, I'm feeling good.  Slightly sore and stiff, but feeling overall well. Mentally, I'm feeling fairly well controlled, but I can sense my brain flitting from one thought to the next.  I'm going to focus on controlling my thoughts this morning, and add an extra "omph" to my physical practice to help sweat out any over-active tendencies. Spiritually, I'm feeling well.  I'm secure, solid, and whole.  Time to sweat it out.
