I have some more pictures to post to from the past couple days but I am honestly so tired right now! Yesterday and today we bought stuff for a new apartment and got all the basics, kitchen stuff, bedroom stuff, bathroom stuff…decoration stuff. We are on a deadline since we are leaving at the end of the week so there is a lot to do this week, but happy that we now have all the things bought, now just need to clean, clean, clean and then unpack and put away! Organize. Then I am gone for a month!

Yesturday and today I learned a lot about my self and my feelings towards Ayurveda. I really think that it would be able to help so many people. I have one friend who called me yesturday. He is going through a rough, rough time and very self-sabotaging, wreck less, angry time. From his symptoms and stories, I was thinking – okay PITTA imbalance with some Vata imbalance. If only they would take in more cooling things and get a routine and… haha well I shared some information about Ayurveda. But I bored them- I turned them off…actually they never even read my messages or went to the links with cooling herbs that I sent them… they at least told me that.
I am going to need to learn how to talk about Ayurveda and Yoga from another angle…just because it’s the answer for me doesn’t mean others will choose it to be the answer for them.
I think I need to be careful about my excitement for this 5,000 year old science…I will need to learn how to talk about it, without sounding to far-fetch for people who aren’t on the same level as me. We all have different realities…

Well super happy for my routine though, because this morning i woke up and then starting getting back into a discussion with my friend and he was drunk already and it was a difficult conversation I was having with them and it started to take over my Sunday morning- then I made a choice. I continued on with my routine. I enjoyed Jala Netti, making a smoothy, asana practice, meditation and floating in the pool… before heading off to the city to shop. Now I am to tired to do anything else…but I will go to sleep now and then tomorrow i will continue on! Super grateful for making the SPACE and putting in the effort to do these practices for the past weeks. It was my first self challenge I gave myself like this and for this long.

Day21of21
My practice today. Taking steps towards my perfect posture. Enjoying my practice today.

Out come:
Emotionally: A lot more stable, happy, calm
Physically: I am stronger, more flexible and less fat then I have had in YEARS or maybe ever. If I continue on this path, I am going to have the in shape body and mind that I deserve and desire. I was looking back at some pictures a few years ago and I see a transformation physically and emotionally in myself… I’m excited for 2016 and what it is going to bring.
I am far from perfect in all my practices- But I am practicing. I am writing this blog to share my lessons and my information as I learn them, BUT ALSO, as a way to journal my journey with Yoga and Ayurveda. Yesturday I set up my camera to take some pictures while I was practicing. It only captured some of my Asanas, as my battery died. But I put together a little collage with my asanas and how they are today.
