Wednesday House Keeping

Wednesday, October 9, 2019,
Woke at my usual 4:25AM this morning.

Woke on Monday morning, and couldn't hack it; went right back to bed, feeling run-down, and under the weather.  Dragged it out of bed to go to work, and then came right back home at the end of the day, ate, and crawled into bed by 5:30PM to sleep.  Nothing is better than large amounts of sleep and rest when you're feeling run down.

Woke at 4:25AM yesterday morning only to find my trusty coffee machine decided to put out an error code and not work.  No coffee was waiting for me when I woke up.  Back to bed.

Today, the stars all aligned, and I'm back on my mat at my usual 5:30AM to begin my practice.  Physically, I'm feeling well, but there's an ever present soreness in my lower back.  I believe this is residual ache leftover from some of the strong backbends I did on Friday of last week.

Mentally and spiritually, I'm feeling good.  Solid, and stable and eager for a good day.

Time to sweat it out.

Wednesday, October 9, 2019 (Part II),
I finished at a reasonable time this morning; 6:52AM as I type this.

Had a great practice, and am happy to say that my backbends are continuing to deepen and get stronger; it's a strange sensation when you're in a full backbend, and you can sense that your feet, planted on the ground, are getting closer and closer to the back of your own head. 

Time to shower, and 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.
