meditate daily (read all 6 entries…)
16 Days... 9 months ago

So it’s day 16 of 108 days (http://tinyurl.com/108days) and I’ve managed to meditate every day thus far. Some days are “easier” than others… I’m able to rest and my mind is quiet. Some days my mind shoots off in a certain direction and I can’t reel it in… It flops around like a fish on a line and I find that I’m not a good fisherman… But all in all, daily meditation is happening for me despite my judgements on the quality (or lack thereof). I don’t worry about quality over quantity. I think meditation is one of those things where quantity over quality is the more appropriate metric.



Practice Yoga
Just a little stretch... 9 months ago

I’ve been away from my yoga practice for quite some time. At one point I was doing one of Baron Baptiste’s power vinyasa programs 3-4 times a week. It has been well over a year since I’ve consitently done any yoga practice at all.

I woke up this morning at 5:00 and went for my AM yoga dvd… the one with Rodney Yee. It is gentle and good to do before meditation.

Sometimes just a little stretch can make a big difference.

Did it again... 9 months ago

I’m hoping to sustain this until it becomes a habit. I tend to wake up late often and rush around the house like a mad woman to start my day. It is nice to start the day from a paced and contemplative place.
