Motivation Monday

Monday, April 1, 2019
Woke at my usual 4:30 AM to start my day.

Had a wonderful vacation and time off from my normal work routine this past week.

While I didn't indulge too much, I'm definitely going to be feeling "stodgy" for a day or too.  Once I muscle past that two/three day hump, I'll be back to normal.

Time to sweat it out and begin my practice.....I slept on an air mattress this past Saturday...

Monday, April 1, 2019 (Part II)
I'm writing this second post well into my day, but have a free moment to update.

I'll say that, over the past few days, I've eaten little more than junk food.  I've eaten clean today and my body is talking to me like, "I don't know what you're doing by eating that apple w/peanut butter and kefir yogurt drink, but we hate it and it tastes like garbage".  Long story short, I'm feeling digestive issues today, and I'm glad I started this morning out on my mat to begin moving things along.

All of my strength is there.  I feel fantastic while moving through my Sun Salutes, as I'm controlled and strong while I move.  Backbends are coming along nicely, but I was very sore and stiff this morning; again, I slept on an air mattress on Saturday night. 

Mentally, I'm feeling like a million bucks, and am happy that I began my day on my mat.  Backbends make me pleasing to the almighty!! lol

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.
