I'm about halfway through the 30-day yoga challenge, and it this point it's looking like I will make it all the way through. I'm planning to start over again once I finish. Or maybe start doing some other yoga videos? Mostly I just want to keep this up. I like the way I'm feeling. I like that I can see myself improving, almost day to day. And I like the control I'm gaining over my body.
I still struggle with some of the poses. But others come much easier, which helps me stay motivated. And even the ones that I'm having trouble with, I'm already noticing improvements on. The nice thing about starting over from the beginning is getting to go back through and realize that I'm already stronger and more flexible than I was a month ago. I may still have trouble touching my toes, and I may continue to fall over, but I'm holding poses longer and sinking into them deeper.
It's also leaking out into my life a little bit, too. I know it's easy to roll your eyes at people who really embrace yoga as a lifestyle, I know I have in the past, but I'm starting to see how it can happen. When I find myself stressed about something at work, I can now slip pretty easily into a couple of deep breaths or a moment of grounding myself and get back on track much quicker. I don't know how far I'll really go with this, but for now it's working great.
