It's Monday, the start of a new work week. I woke up today 30 minutes before my alarm went off. I have heard you need less sleep when you do Bikram. I have always "needed" less sleep then I choose to get. I have to say I had a great weekend. I got up every morning at about 7:30. I went to yoga at 10 am. I saw a great movie last night with the girls! Went grocery shopping after. Got home, worked on a project for mom and went to sleep at about 11:30ish. I found out this morning after I walked the dogs that my phone was in the living room. It is a good thing that I woke up, because my phone is also my alarm. It is a pretty great feeling to get up without one of those things. I feel like when I wake up with an alarm it is an interruption to a beautiful thing called sleep!
Yoga yesterday was far better than the day before. The class did feel a bit hotter but not bothersome. Initially I did not click with the instructor that led yesterday's class. In some ways, I'm not sure that I do now. I can respect his teaching style, I just don't feel that I'm ready for it yet. I suppose it is similar to management styles. Managers lead a group with different approaches - like the micro manager vs. the manager that steps back and comes in as needed. That's not to say either one is wrong. Just not for everyone. I am sure though, if I had him my first class - I don't think I would have come back. This was clearly destined for me though. The stars aligned or God stepped in - whichever you believe.
Divine intervention is an amazing thing. People come into your life when you least expect them. Situations happen that are unexpected that change your path. Partnerships emerge when you didn't think it was possible. For me, I had a doctor's visit that didn't go the way I expected. I made a choice to change my lifestyle and replace the bad habits with a good one. It is part of my perfect series. I am working very hard to make those changes. I write daily to remind me why I am doing what I am doing and where I want to be. Everyone changes in their own time. The catalyst is theirs to discover. What I can say is never change for someone else - do it for yourself. At the end of the day the reward is yours. On the days I feel like I take a step back, I know that step back is still above my first steps. No matter what, I have improved physically, mentally, and spiritually - but the journey has still only just begun.
