Vegas Yoga- Day 3

Saturday, November 11, 2017
This is my 3rd morning waking up in my Vegas Hotel while I'm traveling for work.

I'm feeling excellent this morning, and am eager to go into my day.

Much of my mental focus will circulate around work while I'm in Vegas (I fly home in 6 days) but I use the time on my mat to meditate and shape my mentality around a few key characteristics:
  • Always be truthful
  • Do not take things peronsally
  • Stay resilient
  • Stay calm
  • Stay kind
Those are great traits to have anyway, but they're especially useful when one is under a larger than normal amount of pressure. 

Physically, I feel good this morning.  I've managed to resist all of the unhealthy food options that are all around me 24/7 and have stuck to a steady, and sensible diet; this always makes me feel good regardless of my situation.  

My back is definitely talking to me, a bit, today.  The warmup I have on my mat will help shake out that stiffness.  Backbends keep you young so always incorporate them into your practice!

Saturday, November 11, 2017 (Part II
Feeling wonderful and magnificent.  I'm going to use the introspective and reflective "fruit" of this mornings practice to stay adhered to the 5 charachteristics I detailed above:


  • Always be truthful
  • Do not take things personally
  • Stay resilient
  • Stay calm
  • Stay kind


I'm going to use what I gathered on my mat this morning and share it with the world.

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.
