This is the beginning of week 3 and I want to reflect on how I feel.
I have felt good and I have felt bad in the past two weeks (as everyone does). I know that I've failed in areas of my life and I know I've succeeded in areas of my life. I try to observe my feelings but we put far too much emphasis on them and allow how we feel to dictate our behavior. Above all, when I didn't feel like practicing yoga, I did it anyway and hit my mat. Above all I've felt pride in my perseverance and my follow-through; don't know why it was torture to get up and practice yoga very morning last week but, it was.
Had a great weekend filled with waaaaay too much junk food, holiday parties, and eating out. I'll need to step back up to a clean diet throughout this week unless I want to morph into Jabba the Hutt.
I have the feeling that today will be a great day. Don't know if there's any value at all in these little forecasts I give myself but they say you can "manifest your destiny" (which I think is a bunch of hippie, hocus-pocus, nonsense) but I believe your outlook is important and your perception on things is equally important; going into your day with a positive perspective is important. Yoga has, and will continue to, help with that.

Post Practice: Feeling good that I practiced, as always. I had more drive this morning than any one of the weekdays last week so I'm happy about that. My body moved smoothly through my vinyasas but I felt a little bulky and bound. I don't know if that's due to not practicing yesterday or if it's due to my arms, shoulders, legs, and abdomen changing shape. In any event. It was a fair enough practice. Much as I introduced full upward bow into my practice a week ago, I think I'll introduce another pose into my practice. I'll want to think about which one and what benefits I might be missing out on with my abbreviated practice that I've currently got.
Now it's time to shower up and tackle the day!
Namaste
