October Yoga

Tuesday, October 1, 2019,
Woke at my usual 4:25AM this morning.  I neglected my practice over the summer, but I'm refocusing attention to it and happy to be on my mat most mornings.

Since this is the first practice this week, I can feel stiffness and soreness in my lower back, and legs; I've been on my mountain bike a bit more lately and, while it's a favorite activity of mine, it does tighen up something in my lower back.

No biggie, as I know I can smooth things out on my mat this morning.  It's 5:34AM as I type this, and I'm going to begin my prayers, meditation, and reflection before beginning my asanas.

Time to sweat it out.

Tuesday, October 1, 2019 (Part II),
I'm writing this in a rush, as I need to get moving.  It's 7:25AM as I type this, and I need to head out the door.

No time for much of a post-practice update, but I feel marvelous; centered, controlled, balanced, and marvelous.

Time to 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.
