Namaste

I saw this and felt it was a great way to teach non-Yogis the essence of the word and expression "Namaste".

How incredible it is to think that the power, the compassion, and the spiritual depth of yoga can be summed up in just 7 letters. Much more than a workout and much more than a means to gain flexibility, Yoga is being increasingly practiced around the world for a reason. And while it may not happen right away, I know that yoga will bring peace to all of us in due time.

My New Mantra

We are forever working on ourselves and that's just the way that life goes. We aren't born perfect but we can always improve, we can always grow, we can always reach for better. That is why it is so important to focus on personal development.

I've set my mind to achieving a higher level of enlightenment, hence my new mantra ::

Personal Development...

Drink water, stay Fresh. =))

Let's Go Biking!!!

My mom and I have been working on our garage this past week because there is just so much junk everywhere. We got rid of a fair amount of stuff that other people can use so that makes me feel really good.

One of the things I came across that has been left unnoticed for YEARS is my bike. Well, it's my bike now (haha). It was covered in webs and the tires were ridiculously flat but I got the sudden urge to take it for a ride.

My Baby

This morning I decided that today was the perfect day to give that bike some life again since it was looking so sad. I forgot about the tires so I frantically looked everywhere for a tire pump. Thank goodness we had one still! I also had to look for a screwdriver to adjust the seat and whatnot, but I made it work and was finally ready to GO!

Oh snap! P90X! Represent ;))

I didn't even care where I was going, I was just really excited to ride. The path out of my neighborhood led me to sidewalks and then up to where my dad works (only a few miles away). It was cute but it was no bike trail! Tomorrow, I plan on taking this bad boy much further than today. Woohoo, biking is back in for me!!

Can you tell I was having a lot of fun??

You know, there are times when we all lack motivation to workout. What we have to do is find something that is FUN and that we are PASSIONATE about. It can be dance, cross-country, or rock climbing! Either way, find something that gets you sweating and JUST DO IT. I think I've found my latest pleasure =))

'Til next time, folks! Have a good one!

Correction...

You'd be surprised at how much good can come from just tweaking your mentality.

You're Gonna Make It

No one said life was easy, but it gets unnecessarily harder when you put yourself in tough situations. I have to remind myself that some things are just not worth the trouble or the tears or the fighting. I'm still learning to sort my trials, sort my friends (or "friends" rather), sort my Self... But I am learning and I will not give up.

There are times when we do things that we regret. There are times when we do things we wish we could take back. There are things that happen to us that we just have to learn to accept. There are things that bring us down and there are things that bring us up. All of these things can make us or break us and it is up to us to decide how to react.

Everyone falls. Some fall harder than others. But it's how you stand up again and again that makes the world of difference. What's important is that despite all the hardships in the world and despite all the problems we may have we can never give up. We have to keep striving to be better. And despite the stupid choices we make at times it is never too late to change. It is never too late to grow. It is never too late to learn and learn some more.

Keep your life simple, focus on your priorities, love, laugh, and speak truth always.
