MId-Week Yoga is good for you!

Wednesday, June 6, 2018
Woke again at my usual 4:45AM and finally feel  like I'm getting back into my yoga groove.

When I'm fully in my groove, the alarm goes off at 4:45AM and I have no problems hopping up out of bed to start my day.  When I'm not in my groove, the alarm goes off on the other side of the room, and I stand there, after turning it off, doing a 50/50 split in my head about crawling back into bed for "5 more minutes".

We all know that "5 more minutes" becomes an hour almost immediately.

Delighted this morning to be on my mat and eager to see what's in store as I begin my practice.

Physically, I'm feeling a little stiff from running and Tae Kwon Do, but I know that the remedy for that is burning through myself physically to heat things up and loosen any stuck areas.

Wednesday, June 6, 2018 (Part II)
I'm writing this part two post the morning after I practiced.

I felt wonderful yesterday after hitting my mat and am looking forward to more this morning.

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.
