How I did it
How to help grandma have a peaceful exit
It took me
2 years
It made me
Miss my grandmother

How I did it: To see my grandmother getting weaker every moment is painful.  It is indeed hard to accept.Acceptance is the hardest part.  After this, I had to do my part in helping my grandmother cope.  I attend to her needs, feed her, clean her, etc.Until the last days in her life, I gave my best to help my grandma have a peaceful death.  It was difficult.  She died in her sleep, quietly suffering from pneumonia.

How to be thankful everyday
It took me
30 years
It made me
happy and contented

How I did it: Sometimes day would pass by and forgotten.  Every day is unique.  Good or bad, everything has a meaning and purpose. Set time everyday to reflect and write down all those that we need to be thankful about.It may be as simple as the fresh morning air or the time when chances have saved your life. Read how I did it…

How to control my teeth grinding
It took me
10 years
It made me
relieved

How I did it: I already visited a doctor and he recommended me to take Vitamin B supplements (since this is a nerve disease).  I tried the supplements but it didn't seem to work.  Maybe it worked because I got more than 8 hours of sleep. I can't say also that I am free from stress (it's like the mirror I face everyday)... but getting enough rest seems to work out the problem. Read how I did it…

be a better yogini (read all 2 entries…)
My second class 2 days ago

After the time spent with my ailing grandmother (whom had been laid to rest last week), I had time for my practice again only yesterday.

My body was aching all over. It shouldn’t be a problem though when I practice again in 2 days.

I will keep my promise: to practice often as possible.
