Woke up at my usual 5:00am and hit the snooze.....
Woke up at 5:15am...and hit the snooze.....
Woke again at 6:00am...and got up.
I came home from Martial Arts class last night and I know that, with the am/pm workouts I'm having twice a day that my body is going to ask for more rest from me. I'm totally fine with that but it's a change, like any other, that I'll have to get used to.
I'm feeling good this morning and ready to tackle the day. I'm going to focus on meditation a little bit more this morning and see if I can't clear my heart and mind out. It's very easy to harbor anger/fear/resentment without even realizing it so I'm going to turn the mirror on myself this morning and focus on cleaning myself out mentally. I don't necessarily feel any anger/fear/resentment, but I can sense when there's a bit of turmoil going on and I feel a slight bit of turmoil going on for some reason. It's nothing to get excited about because, like every person on Earth, you'll have feelings and emotions that, seemingly, come from nowhere. One of the best parts of a yoga practice is learning to observe those thoughts and emotions, and learn to control them. You don't have to "feel" anyway about anything and, with practice, you can control your mind.
Time for 5 minutes of prayer and meditation before my practice.
Wednesday, February 22, 2017 (Part II)
I'm on my mat after coming out of a wonderful Savasana. A yoga practice is never perfect (no pun intended), but today I did achieve some of my goal of opening up the "blinds" and "windows" of my mind and heart to clear out the clutter. I harbor fear for some reason. I think it's a very natural feeling, but one can let it build up unnecessarily and, without realizing it, it sits and turns bad. I feel like I shed light onto it and caused it to wither a bit this morning.
The physical aspect of the practice was excellent. I sweat like it was my job (as per usual), and got out some of the junk that had accumulated in my body (I'm a huge fan of junk food/diet sodas/and wine). While I haven't been indulging in much of any of that lately, I still feel much better after an aggressive practice that wrung me out like a dish cloth.
Time to shower up and offer this day the best version of myself.
Namaste
