So as promised I am finally giving you an update on my attempt to practice Yoga at home, however this is probably not the update you guys were expecting.
At the minute I am extremely busy and I am focusing a lot on my jogging and on practicing Mindfulness techniques. I have tried to fit some yoga here and there but the truth be told, I am not 100% motivated to really give it ago. I am finding that I have a lot of energy lately, which is such an improvement as just a month ago I had zero energy and took more naps during the day than my two (adorable) dogs! I am using this energy wisely, I am walking a lot, attempting to jog, sticking to a cardio and weights regime at home, meeting up with friends and relatives and throwing myself into the TEFL Course. At the moment, with all of this new found energy I am enjoying every minute of exercising which is giving me that sense of peace, escape and happiness that I was hoping to find by practicing yoga. Not only is my body getting a workout (and hopefully dropping a dress size in the process) but my head is too! During my exercise, my mind is able to take a break from all of the stress and over thinking that I usually let take over my mind. I am learning to live in the moment and just enjoy what is happening in that exact moment. I am slowly getting into a little routine which I think is helping me to focus on what makes me happy and also on living a normal(what ever that is) life instead of constantly worrying about or focusing on my mental health issues. I am finally realising that yes these issues are very much apart of me, but it does not have to be a big part of my life and these issues certainly do not define me as a person. So back to the yoga, I feel like what I am doing now is really working for me and allowing me to find peace. So for those of you who haven't found a way of escaping please feel free to ask and I can hopefully point you in the right direction! For those of you how have found something that works for you, keep on doing what you are doing, there is no better feeling than regaining confidence in yourself and enjoying something like exercise because for some of us, it has been a very long time since we enjoyed something! If any of you guys have practiced Yoga, I would love to hear from you! How do you find it? How did you get into it? How do you recommend I start? I can't wait to hear from you all! Em x
