First post of the New Year!!!!

I've been off work for the past week and have been lounging around my place, hanging out with family and friends, eating pasta and pizza nearly every day, and going at my own pace (which can be very lackadaisical).

I'll be re-joining the work world tomorrow as my company reopens from the Holiday Break.  I'm looking forward to honing myself professionally in the upcoming year and seeing what opportunities wait for me!!!

I'm looking forward to a year of physical fitness and achieving more of my personal goals in regards to my health.  This blog is certainly one of those goals, but I'm also an avid runner and haven't run a full Marathon since 2012 or a half-marathon since 2016; it's time to break that trend!!! lol

Those are my simple goals for 2017.  Nothing too insane or unreachable.

I'm going to be following my standard primary series this morning after a quick shower and a warm up on my mat.

Monday, January 2, 2017 (Part II)
Sweat like an absolute monster this morning and don't quite know why.  I indulged in food, booze, and even snuck a few cigarettes into the mix on NYE, so this might have been my body realizing its opportunity to purge some junk out of me. lol

Feeling like a million bucks this morning and, even though it's dreary an rainy outside, I'm looking forward to a great day.

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.
