All Skills Are Perishable

Thursday, February 15, 2024, 

All skills are perishable.  One doesn't always want to think this way, as this fact reminds you that maintenance and routine are key to obtaining and retaining any desire state or condition (be it mental or physical), but it is true just the same; all skills are perishable. 

I'm on my mat for the first time in a good long while.  It's 5:34am, however, and it's time to begin today's practice.  I'm interested, if nothing else, if there's going to be an unadded benefit in the break....time to begin...

Part II:

As always, I write my initial post "cold" not having begun my practice yet and my Part II post after I've completed my practice (still on my mat, literally moments after coming out of Savasana/Corpose Post).  

My countenance, perspective, etc. is always changed for the better after my practice (sometimes its changed a lot and sometimes only a little), but it's always changed for the better, and the version of myself that's coming off my mat at the end of practice is always superior to the version of myself that got on my mat at the beginning of practice. 

It's time to take this refined version of myself out into the world. 

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.
