I am almost there!! So Monday was a so-so class, Tuesday was a little better, and Wednesday’s class was absolutely amazing!! But yesterday was again a so-so class, but not because I was getting dizzy (which is often the case) but because I was so impatient. Every little thing was getting to me, the sweat dripping down my face or getting in my eye, or down my leg and giving me an itch. I didn’t have patience to keep and hold the posture, I just wanted to move quick. The teachers always say in class, everyday your body is different and no matter how long you have been practicing, you will probably never have a consistent class. And they say to use this exercise to maybe see what is bothering you or what is making your body feel like this. It is usually connected to something going on in your mind. So I took the time to reflect as I was lying on my mat and sitting out some postures to see why I was so impatient and getting irritated so fast. And I started thinking about something at work that was bothering me as I started zoning out, and then I realized, that must be it ! I was annoyed earlier at someone’s comments and it was still bothering me and that is why I was feeling so antsy and uneasy. It is amazing how you can use the yoga to find things bothering you and then use the practice as an outlet to let that out of your body and leave it in the room, as you walk out. And I got back into my postures and pushed it out of my mind and body, and I ended my class strong =). I was very proud of myself!!
And then I went to the bar and got a little twisted…. haha probably not the BEST idea!! But I been working hard and I been feeling like an oldie since I haven’t been going out as much lately. And I am young and need to enjoy life! and of course socialize =).. and that is exactly what I did ! Although when I woke up this morning I felt a little crappy, but I need to drink the double the water to be able to survive in class today to make up for the drinking last night. Dehydration is the last thing I need in Bikram Yoga class!! Then I will be taking a break this weekend since its my best friends birthday and I will be at his house all weekend which is away from my studio. Will be back to class on Monday. Thanks for all your support, Day 5 here I come !
