dAY 42 - schedule
Hey ho! Let’s
go!
When I got
home today I was so fucking tired. My left leg especially was hurting so much
but I didn’t miss my yoga session. I did “Up Your Connect” video of
Adriene and it was full of forward folds, mountain pose, upward & downward
facing dogs, planks…
Ordinary
flow of Adriene.
I am used to it so I don’t have any difficulty to follow it but it’s too bad to have only one day for yourself in a week. I had only this
Sunday to save for myself and I wasn’t at home at all. I preferred spending my
time with my family and doing shopping. The winter is literally coming but I
don’t have anything to wear (it’s for real because the last time I bought a
jacket for winter was 7 years ago: D) Nevertheless, when I came home I did my
yoga immediately.( SELF DISCIPLINED)
I had some
problems regarding my anger today. Although many people think that it’s odd and
funny I am afraid of birds and I cannot prevent this. My father is suggesting a
professional consultancy & aid for it but I don’t want because I don’t like
birds at all, so it’s beyond fear. Yeah my anger was just because of a budgerigar
btw. I am happy as long as they are in their cage but by the time I think they
are free at the house I make a fuss literally and not sorry for that.
Anyways,
let’s focus on my yoga. Yesteeeeeeeerday I did a little bit of practice and
tried to do meditation just before going to sleep. Today it’s almost vice
versa. I did physical practice I’ve mentioned above already but didn’t do any
meditation. Remember the schedule I mentioned before? I did it! I will start to
apply that by tomorrow.
So it means
this month I will be focusing on 3 things : standing wide legged forward fold
& meditation & quick flows. You will see when you check the schedule
that I will repeat the same video over and over respectively for 6 days and I hope
that will improve my asana (prasarita padottanasana=standing wide legged
forward fold).
I do love forward folds as I have mentioned formerly and that’s
why I chose this asana. It makes me feel good, most importantly more
focused. We’ll see if applying a flow for one asana over and over will help me
or not. You may think this as an experiment actually.
And let’s
talk about the meditation part.
I don’t know anything about meditation but I’ll see if I can handle with it. I want to know if my mind is able to meditate after yoga ( or before yoga more effectively). I will change the order depending on my mood.
For the first days I didn’t want to challenge myself much because initially I need to see my body’s & soul’s reactions to this. Meditation is THE MOST significant part of yoga I BELIEVE. If you cannot meditate properly you cannot water your soul and the soul means everything for a yogi.

I believe today I had an open heart chakra
because in the morning I did some stretches and yogasanas for it. I felt the
same energy flowing during my evening yoga session as well.
However, for what I
should be careful is the food. I know I stop eating for pleasure and start to
eat what is necessary for my body. This brings certainly lots of awareness and
makes me avoid from gluttony.
Think about it. Whatever you choose to eat (junk
food, sweats, fats, vegetable, fruit; doesn’t matter) your body keeps trying to
function normally. It always works for you and your wellness. Even though you
don’t care for it, it REALLY cares for you. Think about all of your internal
organs when you eat unnecessarily much or unhealthy things. They don’t mind
about it. They just overwork to please your cells. What you eat and how much
you eat are the crucial pinpoints for your body.
Fiji
McAlpine’s 14 Day Yoga Challenge will help me to improve my flows. I am sure I
will be able to keep pace with faster flows. She’s a bit upper level for me but
I like challenging myself. It’s only 14 days. As you can see I’ve separated this
month into two: 1- meditation & slower flows & prasarita padottanasana,
2- faster flows & more energy.
