Tuesday, April 25, 2017
Woke at my usual 5:00am for coffee and contemplation.

To help set the mood this morning, I'll be showering before I hit my mat and will be play some music (something that I don't typically do).  Check out some yoga tunes here!

I've been writing this blog for nearly 6 months now and, in that time, I've rarely gone back to read what my posts are; I did go back this morning to read some of the posts from early April.  I noticed while reading that, reliving old sessions on my mat can help encourage me to get onto my mat again........I'm my own cheerleading system!!! (#puke).

I'm going to keep the yoga tunes going while I shower so the mood stays set when I get out of the shower, ready and eager for my mat and my practice.

Tuesday, April 25, 2017 (Part II)
I'm still tranced from my practice.

The music that I linked above honed me in mentally which helped hone me in physically.

My practice was unbelievably rejuvenating.

Physically, I went through my vinyasa series and a few other poses before entering Savasana.  I've been adding additional poses to extend my Sun Salute B into something that's a bit more robust (Sun Salute B is robust enough as it is so extending and adding poses into the sequence makes them even more challenging).

Mentally, I'm honed, energetic, focused, calm, and balanced.  I feel connected with myself, and with God, and with the world around me.

I'm going to take this feeling into the world with me today.

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.
