Woke at my usual 4:45AM this morning and had my hour of coffee and contemplation.
I'm feeling good mentally. No manic thoughts of anxiety running around, so I'll definitely work on myself mentally today to quiet my mind even further to give the best clarity possible throughout the day.
I don't suffer from anxiety (not in the medical sense), but, on a daily basis, when I examine myself for "demons", my "demons" tend to take the shape of worries. Worries about any area of my life. Most worries, as usual, are in my head, and any anxiety that lives there will eat up energy. I've had a propensity to worry about things most of my adult life (as many people do), and I don't take my worries for anything more than the standard level/intensity of "worry" that all people feel.
Still, I consider worry/confusion/anxiety to be "demons" that need to be controlled, corralled, and burned up.
Physically, I'm feeling well. Sore from Tae Kwon Do and from sitting at my desk most of the day. Time to sweat it out.
Thursday, April 26, 2018 (Part II)
I'm on my mat as I write this, having just come of of Savasana.
It's early Spring in St. Louis and I'd nearly forgotten how heat is my friend. Even in the early morning cool, I felt sweat begin to form on my clothes and mat before I'd even finished my Vinyasas.
My practice was exceptional this morning; crowned with three of the best Urdvha Dhanurasana's (full backbends) I've had in a while. I do a series of three to end the practice, and the first is usually weak and difficult, as my spine hasn't bent that deep yet for the day. This morning the first one was a deep and easy as any I've previously practiced and the third and final backbend was the deepest I've put myself into for months.
I fee wonderful.
Time to clean up and take this version of myself out into the day.
Namaste.
