Tuesday, July 11, 2017
Woke at my usual 5:00am.

I'm feeling happy and motivated this morning, and am looking forward to hitting my mat.

Ate junk food for dinner last night so, while I'm enjoying my first cup of coffee, my stomach's a little out of sorts.  My practice will set me right again.

Tuesday, July 11, 2017 (Part II)
I'm writing this on my mat, having just come out of Savasana.

I had an unusual practice this morning where my mind was moving around a lot.  I would feel strong and powerful, then anxious and scared.  I would feel certain and solid, and then flimsy and second-guessing.

I've said it from the very beginning of this blog that there is way too much emphasis put onto feelings and allowing our "feelings" to dictate how we behave.  Feelings can be the result of eating too much sodium or having sugar withdrawls and it doesn't mean that any of the scared/anxious/powerless feelings that one is having mean anything or that there's any merit to them.

I'm going to go out into my day today putting God first.  I've felt that I've bee going through the motions of my life (in certain areas) for awhile and I attribute this to changes that have been made recently and changes that are coming down the line.

I look brightly towards the future, and I face any challenges that are coming with a proud chest, and a lifted chin.

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.
