March Yoga Experience: Day 4


I woke up from a scary bad dream, about a disaster (like an earthquake as the ground was all broken and uneven). It was me, Dan, my mom, our three birds (Belle, Sparty and Dodger) and our cat C.J. (who is in kitty heaven) and we were all trying to get to safety. I have no idea where this one came from.

I decided a morning of yoga would help me clear that energy, and I also knew that I was having dinner with my two good friends tonight, so I wouldn’t have time to do yoga at IB in the evening. Dinner was so great, especially because I got to see my friend who is pregnant and hear that she and her soon-to-be-fiance just bought wedding rings on Tuesday! I am so happy for them. 🙂

Morning Chat
How does my stomach feel – settled, upset, gaseous, calm? Consider and note what I ate in the past 24 hours.
I ate too much last night, so my stomach felt unsettled. Why do I do that? I love to eat, but I need to tame that to nourish my body and not overdo it–even at the salad bar!

How does my body feel, in particular my head (clear, heavy, agitated)? What is my energy level like?
I woke up from a scary bad dream, about a disaster (like an earthquake) at 6:30 a.m. or so. I did get out of bed, though, and hugged Dan. I felt more awake, too.

Evening Chat
What was my energy level like today?
Energy was good today, but still not vibrating at a higher level. I enjoyed Tammy’s class, which really rung me out. I think I need to drink more water after the hot classes as I think my tiredness might be a bit of dehydration.

Did I eat anything that produced unfavorable results or favorable ones?
I had a lot going on foodwise at the salad bar, including mixing veggies and nuts and fruits. I will try a simpler approach in the next few days.

Overall – how do I FEEL?
Today was the first day I started to really feel the change–my energy is starting to grow!
