Paying attention for 30 days...

So....

After a year of practicing Bikram yoga - I have decided to do a 30 day challenge.....which means going every day for 30 days.

It doesn't really sound that hard - but I have attemmpted it many times over the past year - and then let life get in the way after a couple days of back to back practice.

As if there is a chance that life won't get in the way this time.....(sarcastic wink)
For me this is about truly meeting my responsibilities to Alexis (all 6 of her therapies, my home therapies for her, organic cooking & supplementation, Matt - being a good wife, My mom, and being present for the rest of my network) - and carving out 90 minutes a day to practice my yoga and meditate. Sounds like a tall order - but I am ready for it.

Saturday was the beginning of the challenge......and I forced myself to go to the 6am class on Monday.
This is something I will have to do on Monday, Wednesday and Friday - in order to be home and present for my family the rest of the day.
It was rough - but by the end of class - it was great.

So - as I begin my 30 day journey - what have I learned so far???

1 - Keep up with the laundry. When you come out of a class like you have jumped into a pool with all your clothes on - every day - let's just say - you don't want that laundry to pile up.

2 - EAT (healthy vitamin packed foods!). I learned that the body needs fuel and proper nutrition yesterday as the room went black about 3 times and I had to sit down.

3 - DRINK (water that is.) Slow down - if not eliminate dehydrating liquids - ex - coffee. I am glad I don't drink alcohol anymore, because that one is a HUGE no no.


Ok - So I have learned that I need to do laundry - eat food - and drink water.
Hmmm.....hopefully more will be revealed as this 30 day challenge passes.....these things seem like no brainers.
