Don't know where my yoga motivation has gone, but it's gone.....

I'm feeling a little stuck in my practice and feeling grossly unmotivated.  I know that I've been in this place of feeling stuck before and I know that there's way too much emphasis put onto feelings and not enough emphasis put onto one's duty and one's obligation.  Having said that, I've already showered, changed into my yoga attire, and am typing this on my mat before I have my 5 minutes of prayer and meditation.

Thursday, March 2, 2017 (Part II)
Found my yoga motivation!!!

Had one of the best practices I can remember.  I felt strong, fluid, and focused.  I honed myself mentally, continually bringing myself back to the thought of empty-ness and nothingness.  It's a humbling and cleansing thought to focus on.

I move too quickly throughout my days sometimes.  There are moments when speed is a necessity, but, other times, there's no need to rush through things.  The speed at which one is made to move combats holiness; I am 100% convinced of that.

I'm going to move through my day today at an intentional pace with intentional thoughts and actions.

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.
