Yoga, Day 2

Surprisingly, I did not sleep so well last night after bed-time Yoga. And my arms and neck were sore. Felt great afterwards. I have procrastinated Today's yoga until the evening, yet again. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.

Tonight, A Baptiste Power flow narrated by Dave Farmar from Yogadownload.com. I've done this one several times, but not for awhile. If memory serves, my arms will likely hurt tomorrow, too.

Yoga, Day 1

I hereby commit to practicing Yoga every day for 30 days.

Today is day (evening) #1. I will do a simple, gentle Hatha flow before bed.

How do I feel? Itchy. I have felt Itchy for a few days, both literally and figuratively. I'm finishing up an internship in Music Therapy at a large psychiatric facility, and do my best to not freak out about my slim prospects of employment. I'm sad to be finishing, excited to be starting out as a "young professional", and nervous about board exams. I'm anxious to be jumping off this boat of studenthood into the real world.

What do I hope to accomplish by doing this? I hope to feel more balanced, calm, and positive. I hope to feel better, and more flexible.

Mission

I am often overwhelmed by life. I see many things I want to change, things I want to do to make myself better. They may be small things (hanging my coat up right away), or large things (becoming more fit). I'm often inspired by resolutions, but have difficulty seeing them through to the end.

A friend of mine once told me, "You can do anything for 30 days, of you make up your mind to do so." I have yet to test his theory, but want to.

And so... I will.
