2 WEEKS IN THE BAG

After my 4:30pm yoga class today, I will have completed two weeks of daily yoga. I’m beginning to think I can actual accomplish this challenge. Too be honest, I was skeptical when I first began but sticking to something even when you don’t exactly love it, has its own sense of reward.

Yeah sure my arms and core are getting stronger and I feel more energetic lately but there’s a faith in yourself that grows ever so slightly every time you can check off another day of having done asanas (yoga postures) - not that it's about just getting it done and over with. It's becoming, dare I say, slightly enjoyable. Slightly is the operative word here.

Swamiji talks about having faith in the Divine in you and not only in your capabilities which is not always easy. But when I begin having faith in my ability to muster up enough motivation and determination to keep going I realize that, that motivation and determination is there because of a higher idea of myself rather than the old belief of  ‘I am not capable of this.’ And for me, that is a small part of the Divine acting in me, through me. The Divine in me is my higher self – my highest potential. And I don’t think I’ve even reached close to 50% yet. 

Perhaps I’ve got it all wrong but then again I create what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong’ so I choose for it not to be wrong. It’s just where I’m at in this process of evolution called life. So there.

Okay so I just found out afternoon yoga class has been cancelled. Would this be ironic? Never really could come up with an example of irony and no Alanis Morrissette’s song ‘Ironic’ is not what irony is. That song should be called ‘shit happens’. But I’m not gonna take the easy road and skip yoga. I’m gonna attempt to do it on my own. I may only last 20 minutes (probably only 15) but I never did set a minimum time requirement to meet this challenge.…gotta love creating your own criteria;)

AN ACTUAL DISCUSSION OF WHAT YOGA IS  WILL BE IN THE NEXT POST…..
