Looking Back...Looking forward

Today I was reading some of my old blog posts. Its always a good thing to look back and see how we've changed over time. I've changed a great deal over these last 12 months, especially over these last six months. I started a little over a year ago now on this journey and I think its time to pay attention to centering myself. Practice my meditation more and start doing yoga again. I wasn't able to do yoga for a long while because I wasn't strong enough, mentally or physically. I didn't have the right motivation.

Yoga is a lot more, at least to me, than just stretching and doing different poses. I always feel really good, really strong after a yoga session. Yes some of the poses are difficult, but don't all the difficulties in life teach us something more about ourselves? Teach us some sort of lesson about life? About who we are? And the more centered we are the more challenges we can handle. I just feel that as a whole we don't look deep inside ourselves enough. We are always too busy to focus on whats important. I hope that all my readers decide to follow my lead, look inside themselves and see what there is to see. Experience just 5 minutes of undisturbed breathing. See how your body feels as you exhale & inhale. And after those 5 minutes you can't tell me your internal batteries aren't charged just a little more than before. Just those 5 minutes can change how you feel mentally & physically.
....It really is time to get out the ol' yoga mat!
