I woke up this morning much later than usual as it’s Thanksgiving Day here in the United States!
For the past few weeks, I’ve been overindulging in junk food, haven’t really been cooking anything nutritious or wholesome, and for the past few nights, I've had at least a little bit of red wine every night before bed.
The whole “moderation” story comes to mind as I type this because, too much indulging really does spoil you; in more ways than one. I’ve noticed that I’m surly after I’ve eaten two sleeves of crackers and cheese; I’m disgusted and disappointed in myself when I eat a whole pizza and mindlessly scroll through Netflix; I feel great momentarily, but afterwards I’m blue, disappointed and irritable.
Some health neglect at certain times of year is common-place, and natural, and I’m not beating myself up , but recognizing the pattern of high/low I make when I overindulge without any healthy activities to counteract the indulgence.
I’m on my mat this morning at 10:33AM, and I’ll be focusing on igniting the fire/spirit/holy part of me that gets congested when I eat a tub of port wine cheese with a glass of Cabernet. #yolo.
Time to sweat it out...

I’m writing this at 12:32PM, having just come out of Savasana.
I feel marvelous, and my practice was strong, focused and deliberate. What a treat to not have to rush, and to go at my own pace, speeding up or slowing down whenever it felt right.
I’m enjoying some food while I sit and relax on the couch; I’ll be heading off to my parents in a few hours to celebrate Thanksgiving.
A big, and marvelous Namaste
