Not So Groggy Yoga

Wednesday, May 9, 2018
I don't know why I was such a zombie yesterday but I'm definitely glad that I hit my mat in the morning.

I think my grogginess was leftover fatigue from the weekend when my internal clock gets re-wired from Friday-Sunday.  Trying to wake up on Monday makes for a difficult transition sometimes.

Yesterdays practice was still strong, despite the grogginess.

Looking forward to prayers and meditation before beginning my practice.

Wednesday, May 9, 2018 (Part II)
I'm writing this on my mat, having come out of Savasana about 10 minutes ago. 

My "Part II" posts are always probably a bit more gooey than my Part I post, as my endorphins are running from the practice.

This morning's practice wasn't too dissimilar from yesterday as I fell a little grogged out still and a little depleted.  The Asanas were strong and intentional, and I'm pleased with my efforts, as always.

Time to shower up and enter the day.

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.
