More August Yoga

Tuesday, August 6, 2019,
Woke at my usual 4:30AM again this morning ready to hit my mat.

For some reason, I wake and I'm almost instantly pushed back into my bed; I don't know why.  I don't have the urge or the yearning to hit my mat anymore.

I remember this happening right at the beginning of this blog (two years ago), and I had to muscle through it.

I'm not going to bug about it, and I'm going to continue to push myself back onto my mat until it becomes a habit again.

Time to sweat it out.

Tuesday, August 6, 2019 (Part II),
I'm writing this on my mat having just come out of Savasana.

I took not today that, from start to finish my practice lasts for about 1.25 hours.  Don't know why I realized that this morning, but it just came to mind. 

I began at 5:30AM and, as I type this, it's 6:54AM.  Time to shower and enter the day.  The practice was marvelous.

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.
