On Yoga and Finding my Rhythm Back

It has been two weeks..two weeks since I have committed to get myself back on the mat.

If you have been reading through my past writeups, you would've known that I was currently not on my best physical state, yet I was freer mentally, emotionally, socially, etc. Still, the little voice inside me keeps on pushing me, every single day to relentlessly sweat and work hard to regain and even be better than my physique before. And so, a Powerful Intentional Setting happened one day. And the rest is history.

I've been working out for five to six times a week already and going to a regular Yoga class session either after my morning sweat session or at night after work and let me tell you, I've never felt so sore and tired and exhausted for the past six months of my life. But at the same time, I've never felt so strong, and more determined to be better, fitter, leaner and stronger every single day. And it all started with a decision to change for the better. To get stronger cause i feel like I have to be mentally,physically, spiritually and emotionally prepared to whatever life throws at me. I'm writing this as I come to work from a one hour Hot Yoga class..and had my post yoga Papaya Coconut milk smoothie..and let me tell you this.

Waking up and getting it done is fucking hard. I'm going through a certain phase in my life that greatly challenges my mental, and my emotional capacity. This I have decided to keep private for the meantime but what I would like to point out to you is that MOST OF THE TIME, we MUST do the things we have to do in the name of SELF LOVE, no matter how hard it seems to be. We must get up every single day and show up for ourselves. We must be strong and have that mindset that transcends any emotional pain that we're currently experiencing in life. Yes, I'm probably talking to myself right now, but if you're reading this and are going through a rough patch in your life, this is definitely the BEST time for you to be healthy, strong and fit.

I've learned this from the Modern Health Monk who shared that it was at his most stressful times that he dedicated himself to be at his healthiest state in life. This statement has made a huge impact in my life so yes, you won't see me binge eating nor devouring a whole gallon of chocolate chip ice cream when I'm stressed. Hahaha! Which I'm quite thankful for, really!

This is where my daily Yoga practice has also been helping me to tame my monkey mind and let everything flow..and go. Don't get me wrong, I love doing Yoga, it's just that there are moments when at the middle of a certain pose, I would want to just give up and walk out of class. FOR REAL. Thank goodness I've never done that. And I will never do that. Cause after every single difficult pose conquered, I find myself getting strong mentally as well cause I never gave up, and never I will.

I can truly say that I'm on my way of finding my rhythm back and I know this is not just for a week, two weeks of a month, this rhythm, I must and would love to maintain for the rest of my life. I'm working on developing that lifestyle mindset and conquering more fears, conquering more heartbreaks and loving myself even more, and trust that the Universe directs my soul into its highest soul existence. I may not fully understand everything right now in my life but what I can do is be my best self everyday and trust...and love...cause that's all there is to this life. LOVE...
