Woke up, for the third time, in my new space.
This morning will be the 2nd practice I execute in my new space and, again, I have to say how much I am in love with my little screened in sun porch. I currently have the door to the sunporch open with cool air, and the sounds of crickets creeping in.
On a totally unrelated note, while I've been moving, I've been eating junk for dinner every night (sausage and pepperoni pizza, to be exact, covered in red pepper flakes, and dunked in ranch). This causes me a little bit of stomach pain in the morning, but it makes me hit my mat a little harder; partially to "atone" for the food crimes I've committed the night before, and partially to help eliminate the dough and cheese mound that I consumed the night before.
I'm still feeling motivated, upbeat, and focused. I'll hit my mat at 6:00 AM, in 30 minutes.

I'm on my mat as I write this having just come out of Savasana.
Physically, my practice was strong and focused. I am still feeling gastro-intestinal "distress" from the pizza/ranch/pepper-flake surprise I ate for my dinner last night but, that's how it goes. #worthit
Mentally, I do have a lot going on in my head and in my life (professional, personal, etc.), and my brain was allowing me into a pose, and then quickly wandering and thinking about other things. Because Ashtanga is a structured sequence, my body will, at times, just move itself into the next pose while my brain's still eating glue in the corner; long story short, I was focused enough mentally to have intention and purpose in the practice, but couldn't sink deep enough to trance out, and form that moving meditation that occurs sometimes.
I'm feeling wonderful at the moment and can't wait to take this version of myself out into the world.
Namaste
