yoga > stress

it's only the beginning of the week, are you feeling 'whelmed already?  (ok, maybe that's my inner narrative) instead of freezing up and dwelling in the stress, tap into your yoga.  be present, even if just for a minute at a time.  don't bother worrying about what might happen, it's a waste of time. and remember where your mind goes your breath follows, so bring your thoughts to your breath and there you'll be - present.

yoga lesson:  mo' stress, mo' yoga, less problems.

yoga sandbox: t-rex hates chaturanga

this pic is dedicated to all the yogis starting out in their practice that have a love-hate with chaturanga.  think of it this way, as challenging as chaturanga is, be grateful your arms can support you or at least brace our body as you lower down :)

meditation dropout seeks twitter buddies for #imeditated initiative

"all of human unhappiness is due to the inability to sit still in a room alone."
these are the wise words written by philosopher blaise pascal who explored the human condition. 

and so i begin again...
to sit still that is; trying once more to find my meditation practice and stick with it. 

i know exactly where i go wrong everytime, i'm competitive, even with myself and i tend to overdo it from the beginning.  so instead i will but my ego aside and start small, a 3 minute meditation every day or night (mornings have been a struggle due to other projects). i promise to tweet #imeditated everytime i finish. 

please join me and let me know that you are trying too!

this is actually day 2 of my meditation and i've already been able to comfortably meditate for 5 minutes each time. i am still sticky with my 3 minute rule, but if i do more that's ok too :)
