Christmas is coming. Deal with it! Your yogi strategy.
Get your yogi mindset here.
Yep, we are officially in the rapids that are hurtling us towards Christmas and New Year, question is will you sink or will you swim? Ho Ho Ho… yeah, I know, not the most positive of seasons’ greetings (especially coming from a yogi). But let’s not kid ourselves…this time of year can be a STRESSSS FESSST.
Whether you’ll ride the yule tide rapids and reach calmer water has little to do with if you’ve got the buoyancy aid or a lifesavers’ certificate and everything to do with the answer to this question.
Have you got the mindset?
Let’s go see.
Get your spark back strategy
Ward off winter woes and be super resilient into spring
Seems appropriate to throw some fireworks into this week’s blog with a question.
Here it is…
Have you lost your sparkle?
If you have, through illness, fatigue, stress, or any other cause, you’ll recognise the symptoms.
- Maybe you’re not exactly having the time of your life.
- You probably have little energy, feel tired all the time.
- You’ve stopped doing all the crazy stuff you used to love doing or when you do, it’s not so effortless as it was.
- You feel like you’re not winning at life.
- You’re not showing up or performing at your best.
- You’ve got used to simply going through the motions.
This is not a good picture, agreed?
Five wickedly simple steps to finding your feet in yoga.
Need to keep on your toes in life? This is all you need for balance.
Loads of my yogi friends run to feel great. When people who love to run don’t run, whole worlds can fall apart. You could say it’s some of these guy’s worst nightmares.
Happy Halloween my yogi friend, because whether you run or not, not being able to do what you love doing, is scary stuff.
But we can all be taken out by life at any moment, the ground can literally get pulled from underneath our feet.
Which is why this week I’m asking this question…
A Yogi Guide To Riding Seasonal Tides…
…and how to better weather life’s storms – (called Brian or otherwise) 😉
Choice is your super power, it’s your ticket to getting what you want out of life.
But this week, I come to you with a teeny tiny yogi observation…aka WARNING.
What gives you your power, can also slap you back in the face with a huge dose of responsibility, confusion and doubt.
Will you make the right choice? What if you don’t? Eeek.
You feelin’ that good vibration? A QUICK YOGI WAY TO WITHIN
Hey Yogi-in-Training. Hope your week was sweet. 😉
Today’s yoga quickie is inspired by the music streaming services of Spotify.
I just fired up my account and got to scrolling through some beautifully curated sets of tunes designed by its experts to shift me into any desired state of mind or mood. Let me see, do I need help getting my sorry ass out of bed, or be inspired to go kick some creative butt? As I have already won the war to wake, I’ll go for the latter option. Thankyou Spotify.
But It got me asking, who really needs a microscope or a science degree to see that sound can be a very cool way of communicating with the central nervous system?
Which is what I want you to remember as we dive into this week’s yoga quickie which is all about using sound or vibration to access heightened states of awareness, clarity and consciousness.
Yoga for if you’ve not used ‘it’, lost ‘it’ – and want ‘it’ back – thank you very much.
Your health is just too important to lose…isn’t it?
When people say to me they ‘don’t do yoga’ because they’re not ‘flexible’ it tells me two things.
- They lost something super valuable (flexibility).
- They’re ok with it (they don’t do yoga).
These are both heart-breaking truths that drive me crazy.
Seriously, if you lost £50 you’d at least go look for it, right? Flexibility though? ‘Meh – oh well. ‘Easy come, easy go.’ ‘Strength, don’t need it any more’. ‘Balance, over-rated commodity – I’ll pass’.
Come on…really?
The ONE essential yogi ingredient for creating the life you want.
“Established in yoga, perform action.”
On days when nothing goes your way, when you feel powerless, when you think life’s throwing you under the proverbial bus – you could be forgiven for thinking you’d had no say in any of it. But guess what, you did.
Urghh, don’t hate me. I get that you might not bet taking this as good news, but it is. It’s a VERY good thing.
Think about it. As unsavoury as it is to think to yourself ‘well, that’s another fine mess I got me into’, it at least acknowledges that you always had a say on some level – and we all want freedom to choose, yes?
YES JOSIE! 😉
There’s more this way…
Instantly meet your needs and derail stress from the comfort of your yoga mat
FIVE ‘easy-to-implement’ actions you can do right away.
What happens when you really want or expect something and (for whatever reason) it doesn’t happen? Maybe you had a situation like that recently? Let’s see if you can relate and if you can, prepare to take care of your SELF as if you’re life depends on it.. let’s go.
3 yogi things to know for energy, flow and mojo.
Greetings yogi lovely. How’s your energy today?
You ever question why some days you wake up like a frickin Duracell bunny and rock a whole day with energy left to burn. Others you get to breakfast, clean your teeth and you’re done already? Maybe you’re done before that. :Hands In Head:
Not to worry my yogi friend. I’m here to tell you Yoga and its sister science, Ayurveda, has some answers but first here are three things to wrap your head around. Take a deep yoga breath…it’s a little heady.
The ONE healthy yogi habit every ‘gotta get it done’ finisher needs
Are you set on what’s at the end of your rainbow? Why it’s good to decide, not to decide.
Hello! I’m getting ‘back to it’ after a short summer break. You ‘at it’ too?
Getting stuff done is good, yes? You get to say I achieved something, tick the box, get the medal, praise, pat on the back or whatever it is.
“Move on, neeeeeeexxt.” Is that a success mantra you were fed on? Sat writing this, I think it was mine. Did it work for me…? Mostly I guess, but I’ve been turning the idea over for a few days, and the result of these musings is what I want to share with you.
So take a minute from your next to do, please… and stay with me for the one healthy yogi habit every finisher needs. 😉
