Wednesday, February 8, 2017
Woke up at my usual 5:00am this morning.  I did the same thing yesterday but I am not feeling well.  I have not been getting adequate sleep for the past few days and it caught up to me finally.

I crawled into my bed at 7:00pm last night and conked out by 7:30/8:00ish.  That equals 9 to 9.5 hours of sleep that I desperately needed.

Woke up feeling pretty decent this morning (congested and stuffy paired with the sore throat) but I feel like the glorious amount of sleep I got last night put me on the road to recovery.

I'm going to hit my mat here for some very light yoga and then shower up.  I'm moving with the utmost of care and gentleness today.

Wednesday, February 8, 2017 (Part II)
Took the hottest shower I could stand before hitting my mat.  I moved only through Vinyasa A and then into my forward bend sequence before entering Savasana; that is all that I'll be challenging my body with this morning.  I feel weak, covered in sweat, and have a bad attitude about everything I think of. lol  Long story short, I feel crappy all over.  I need to offer that up and get rid of the negative vibes that I'm pumping out because of my sickness and fatigue.

I'm going to shower and move into my day.  I'm going to move intentionally and purposefully and I'm going to keep my attitude good and upbeat.

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.
