Everyday since I’ve been in NY, both daughters and I have gotten up every morning and drove a half hour to Bikram yoga! I couldn’t be prouder of all three of us. This is very unlike us on a holiday vacation. Usually we’d just eat, drink, stay up late and sit around the house (which was fun since we’re never together for any amount of time), but this was amazing that we did it – not just once or twice – but everyday! Most holidays I spend here in NY, I come with intentions of going to the gym everyday while I’m here and I never make it more than twice.
Also, being in this tiny apartment together for five days, would usually be a bit stressful if I didn’t get my way, or didn’t agree with someone. I did see a change mentally and emotionally. When something started to bother me, almost as if it were automatic, I would find myself calming right down and saying “I don’t care, it doesn’t bother me, or just let whatever happens happen.” Even if no one else notices it, I do. I lost that feeling of “a corked bottle about to pop”. I do hope this continues to become a way of life for me.
And so, another day of this holiday weekend goes by, I am pretty pleased with my yoga progress, and …I have written.
