Friday Yoga | New Weekend Plan

Friday, December 15, 2017
Today will be the 3rd consecutive day of yoga since Wednesday and I'm rededicating myself to a continual practice by bringing my mat with me where ever I go over the weekend so that I've got it whenever I want to practice.

I noticed that, Saturday and Sunday are almost never yoga days for me, and, if I skip out 1 day during the week, then the whole thing gets scrapped and I only hit my mat once or twice during a week.

I slept in an extra 30 minutes this morning, so I'll be hitting my mat here in just a moment.

Feeling good about life, love, and the pursuit of happiness.

Friday, December 15, 2017 (Part II)
I'm writing this on my mat, having just come out of Savasana.

If I could summarize two things that I try and shed from myself, it's fear and anxiety.

No, I don't have debilitating fear or debilitating anxiety about anything in my life, but I notice that I'll hone in on a thought and I'll spin and spin about it and turn it into something that it's not.

Hitting my mat helps me shed those two negative thoughts.

Physically, today was the best of the 3 practices I've had this week.  My arms and shoulders were strong and steady and my backbend sequence, which closed out my practice, was beautiful.

I'm feeling confidant and wholesome as I enter the world today.  I'm going to share this version of myself with my friends, co-workers, and family.

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.
