Home Stretch (lulz #yogapun)

Wednesday, November 15, 2017
I have two more days in my hotel before I get to go home and see my loved ones.


I'm proud of myself, and what I've done while here in Las Vegas.  I'm proud of my work, my dedication to my practice, my diet restrictions, and my overall behavior.


I'm going to meditate and pray for 5 minutes and hit my mat.


Wednesday, November 15, 2017 (Part II)
I'm writing this nearly done with my day as I didn't get a chance to update the blog after I practiced.


Mentally, I was focused this morning and I was able to get some bio-feedback from my body and withdraw from physical strain.  My lost arm strength is almost totally back, and my backbends are strong, and beautiful.


I miss my loved ones.  I've been away from all of the special people in my life for over a week now, and I can feel myself wanting to get back into their presence.  Thanksgiving is coming up soon, however, and I'll be enjoying time with all of the special people in my life. 


I'm proud of the practice I did this morning and I'm proud of the version I created and brought out into the world.


One more Las Vegas practice tomorrow, and then I fly home on Friday. 


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.
