I Was Scared!

Last night's terrible, horrible, no good, very bad yoga class put the fear of Halloween in my head for tonight's class. I started at two o'clock with maybe I'm eating too much for lunch. I know I didn't drink enough water. I shouldn't attempt this. I had coffee at 4 pm. That definitely means this . . . → Read More: I Was Scared!

Snap!

Did you ever try to break a pencil in half? You know – where you grab each end with a fist and ever so slowly start to bend it until – SNAP! In Bikram yoga camel pose does that to your body. You lean back half way. Put your right hand on your right heel . . . → Read More: Snap!

That’s Me! That’s Me!

Today a great concept smacked me in the brain bright and early this morning. That probably meant that I shouldn’t dismiss it’s message so easily. I was reading Unglued: Making Wise Choices in the Midst of Raw Emotions by Lysa TerKeurst. This was an interesting little book I picked up on Amazon this week for . . . → Read More: That’s Me!

I Feel Compelled

Being such a Bikram yoga enthusiast and being that a lot of my posts revolve around my practice, I feel compelled to share the best answer I have ever come across to answer the question: What is Bikram yoga?

A Book Vacation

This has been a long week. You know the kind. I've been out day and night all week and then had some really difficult issues leaning in on me emotionally.

Today in yoga the instructor was trying to help new people stay in the room by encouraging them not to buy into the things their mind was telling them. He said, "You are not your thoughts." That sounded a little out of sync to me, even though I understood his intentions.

In effect, I . . . → Read More: You ARE Your Thoughts

4 Mats In A Hot Room

This morning my Bikram yoga buddies and I set up our camps and then went back out in the lobby. When we entered the room again, my friend said, "Oh! The mats look so pretty!" They did, and, of course my mind took off. Here's where it went:

TMI

Just the fact that I could check so many categories for this post proves my point before I even state it. A few months ago I was information, direction, and "how to" starved. Now, today, I'm in Too Much Information overload. I'm involved in two challenges, trying to jump start both my business and writing . . . → Read More: TMI

Wrestling

Today was a day that could only be described by that one word – wrestling. I woke up with a headache that wouldn't quit. For me, that makes even the mundane tasks of breakfast and teeth brushing difficult. Next came prayer and meditation. It hurt to write or read anything. So I took frequent breaks . . . → Read More: Wrestling

One Mat’s Journey

In honor of my two year anniversary doing Bikram yoga, I bought myself a new mat. Anniversary aside, if you look at my old mat, it becomes apparent that a new one was definitely needed. When I joined two years ago I bought the cloth Breathe mat. It’s not rubber. It has three layers and . . . → Read More: One Mat’s Journey
