What If

Wednesday, March 13, 2024,

"What if" thoughts can help one's condition or hurt one's condition. 

Very often the "what if's" that we're fed through the Entertainment Industry (Social Media, "News", etc.) are very dismal and gloomy "what if's"......what if the polar ice caps all melt in 5 years.....what if WWIII is already brewing.......what if all the food disappears and all of the clean water evaporates......PANIC PANIC PANIC!!!!

But, just as feasible and just as possible, are "what if" scenarios that counter all of this panic, fear, doom, and dread:

  1. What if WWIII actually never happens......what if the last World War ended in the 1940's and another one never occurs again in human history....what if?
  2. What if the polar ice caps don't melt, what if our planet is not doomed, and what if many of the radical shrieks to panic are actually wrong and are shrieking about things that will never occur?
  3. What if the current state of the human race isn't as dismal and contentious as my screens insist it is.  What if the current state of humanity is actually far better than projected by our Entertainment Industry?....what if?

All problems facing humanity, even the problems that seem complex and insurmountable, have feasible solutions. 

What if, despite how tempting it is to despair, what if there's no reason to despair at all?

What if everything is going to be ok?

Time to begin today's practice...

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.
