After starting bikram yoga just over 4 months ago, I'm comletely hooked, going at least 3 times a week its given me the motivation to get out and do something positive. The will power it takes makes me feel strong and I think in the long run, this will be the best thing I can do for myself - just to accept what I am and focussing each day on the small things - completing small tasks and focussing, not on the future or obessing over things I can't control - like love, or work or family or people leaving, or my future, but rather focussing in the things that I can control, now. This is quite possibly the most juvenile things I've ever blogged about, but I'm trying to start out on a different foot and not fill my life with the negativity that I allow to invade my thoughts, but rather the positive things I can do in the meantime. Doing something every day which will get my head right. On a side note, please check out this awesome yoga and hoilistc living blog that I discovered just the other day "Mind, Body, Green", a great community whose support and great articles keep me going. Being in my head too much leads to complete and untter self distruction. Being absorbed in my own neurosis makes me physically ill too. After a long hiatus and trying to understand where my head is at, I found what I really need, yoga provides me - it stabilizes me, tests my patience, controls my temper, and allows the pressure that I put on myself to ease, I'm all-round happier.
