Day 2 - Vinyasa Yoga for Core Strength
Core Focus!
It's day 2...time for your YogaFix!
How many things would you attempt if you knew you couldn't fail?"
-Robert Frost
Wow! That is a great question. I know that fear of failure has kept me from putting my all into things in the past. Truth be told, if I knew I couldn't fail, I probably would have been a rock star!!
Your homework today is to practice a 5 minute meditation either sitting or laying down. Focus on your breath whenever your mind begins to wander, saying to yourself, "I am breathing in" on the inhale and, "I am breathing out" on the exhale. After you've completed 5 minutes (or more if you're feeling it), get a piece of paper and complete the following: "If I knew I couldn't possibly fail, I would..." Just write without censoring your thoughts...also known as stream of consciousness writing. You may be surprised at what you put down on your paper!
Today's affirmation is (from You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay), "I now choose to create a life that is joyful and abundant. I am at ease." Remember to repeat it in your mind or out loud 10 times or more today!
Love,
Lesley
Yoga Fix 30 - Day 5 - Yoga for Core!
DANGER!!!
"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but setting our aim too low and achieving our mark."
-Michelangelo
Welcome to day 5. I love today's quote. It can be so scary to set high expectations for ourselves. I know! But, if we set our goals high and fall short, it's totally okay. So reach for the sky and believe yourself. You at least deserve that, right? If you achieve your wildest dreams that's awesome. If you don't, I be you'll achieve something equally as awesome that you weren't even expecting. It's a win-win!
Here's today's Louise Hay affirmation...you know what to do:
"I trust the process of life. I am safe."
Additional "homework" Write down some goals that you want to achieve this year and don't sell yourself short!
Love,
Lesley
