40 Days Of Yoga

One goal I have set for myself is doing 40 days in a row of yoga.  The reason behind this thought process is simple, if I commit to 40 days, I will notice a difference in my body and be more motivated to continue the process.  My relationship with yoga ,before stepping outside of my comfort zone and committing to 40 daysof yoga, was very inconsistent.  I would practice for a few days, talk myself out of it for a few days, and then start the process over again.  I would get discouraged because I could not do half of the poses and just kind of walk away.  Right now I am on day 11 and am very proud of myself for sticking with this.  I am starting to see a slight shift in what my body can do and this is all the motivation I need.  Noticing that I can bend over a little more before having to bend my knees to touch my toes, being able to start the feel of a crow pose, and gaining strength are all reason to stick with it.  If this happens in 11 days, imagine what will happen in 40 days.  For anyone who loves yoga, but has a hard time being consistent with the process.....Commit to 40 days in a row of yoga.  Somedays you will only have 10 mintues to give, but that is enough, I promise.  I will update you at the end of the 40 days!

Until Next Time,

Introduction

I am going to use my first post to introduce myself and tell you about the goal of this blog.  I am, what I consider, a pretty enlightened, spiritual person.  However, I tend to live in a state of mind that does more harm to my energy than good.  I also tend to live in the place of always wanting more versus doing what I need to do to accomplish more.  What I mean by this is that in my head I have some really great ideas of how my life should/could be but.......when it comes down to doing things OUTSIDE OF MY COMFORT ZONE, I tend to create a reason not to do it.  This blog is an experiment of how by putting myself out there, literally,I can create the life I want and know I can have.  I am going to include you in my journey of putting myself out there and doing a year of things outside of my comfort zone.  This blog is step number one of reachiing outside of my zone. Some will be very small, some will be so large I imagine they will change my life.  I am excited and scared but most importantly ready to start!  I have included some images below of  various activities that forced me outside of my comfort zone.  I use these as motivation to continue living outside of my zone.  Thanks for reading!

Running a half marathon

Getting back into a relationship that ended and completely putting my whole heart into it.  We have been together for almost 5 years.  :)

Changing my hair from bright blonde (it was bright blonde for 16 years)

To a color that better suited me, this was hard! That is me and my sister.  :)

Going on a yoga retreat in Italy. This retreat taught me there is so much more to life than the routine we create for ourselves. 

Starting a business from an idea that I had in my head since I was 20.  Closing that same business 3.5 years later.  Both of these were VERY difficult and I grew up so much in the years I had the business. 

I am very excited about this journey and I have so much to share and so many ideas. 

P.S.  This template is only temporary.  I am working to create something bigger and better!

Until next time,
