As the title states, I've been pouty-polly for the past few days.
I can say that, at times, I put far too much emphasis on why I'm feeling a certain way. I believe that this practice of self-reflection is almost always good but, at times, it can lead you into an overly-analytic, paralyzing, direction-less whirlpool.
Why do I feel good/bad/tired/energetic/anxious/peaceful on any given day?.....who cares....it doesn't matter.
I've said it before on this blog; I believe that in 2019, we put far too much emphasis on feelings. Feelings are good, your emotions have a place, but just because you woke up feeling blue doesn't mean that there's a deeper reason for the sadness that needs to be explored and teased apart.
Case in point, I believe the blues I've been having for a few days now are due to the zero sugar/zero starch diet restrictions I've imposed on myself. In fact, I'm almost 100% certain of it. I've been trying to analyze why I feel glum and I've gotten no where. Low blood sugar....how's that for a laugh.
In any event, mentally and spiritually I'm feeling good; watchful, but good. Physically, I'm well but, like yesterday, I'm very sore. There's nothing for soreness except to gently re-open/re-stretch what's sore.
Time to sweat it out....

I'm writing this about 1 hour after having come out of Savasana. I'm showered and heading out to the door to greet the day.
Low blood sugar has definitely played into my general mood.
I'm happy to have come to that realization. I need to stop over-thinking why I'm feeling a certain way; external stimuli play a huge factor! lol
Physcially, today's practice wasn't wonderful; it wasn't terrible, but it wasn't wonderful either. Went through Sun Salutes A and B and then into my standing series into my seated series into my closing sequence.
I'm always glad I hit my mat, however.
Feeling better than I have in a while and ready to begin my day.
Namaste.
