My new start

Yoga Discussion General Yoga

July 14, 09

This is my first week, I?ve named it ?Week of Forgetting?. It is my week where I forget all of my past mistakes and failures. This week is where I start my training for a high purpose of self discovery.  I?ve done yoga now, off and on, for about 6 months and have gotten only a little way to where I wish to be. 	I?ve started to meditate on why I haven?t been too prepared for things before they happen.  I thought long and hard and found out I?ve always waited tell the last second to do something. Now I have decided to change that. My life has been a landslide to the bottom and because I was to foolish to see I have a mountain to clime if I?m to be ahead in life.
I?m a department manager at work and as in life I am in work. I?ve been lacking at doing things right away and I put them off. I want to be successful at work and get the promotions I want. I can no longer be lazy and put things off. This is my training, to get off my a** and do something great with my life.
I weight 215 lbs and I want to be 185. I also want to be stronger and feel I have more energy in life. I?m going to keep a record of this so I can share it with everyone. I think if I?m public with my training and open with my wants and problems I can succeed with everything. It is harder to fell in the public eye because you?ll want it more so you don?t look like a fool.

Good that you are up and going. Keep it up. Do some Surya Namaskars everyday. Will help in loosing weight.

Perhaps it is the week of remembering. Remembering who you are, what you are, where you come from, what your source is. Perhaps this is home coming.

It’s a positive thing that you accept responsibility for past mistakes and failures, so you can also take credit for future success. You know what action you need to take. Now you need to act, which is sometimes easier said than done. I know from experience that old habits are hard to break, but you can do it.

Good for you! Tell us more!!

It is great, but may I add another suggestion to your week of forgetting - forgiveness. Don’t just forget as our bodies and mind tend to remember ad infinitum, but forgive yourself as well. We are so hard on ourselves and we so easily flogg ourselves until the blood streams down our backs (figuratively speaking) that I always ask people to take a moment and add forgiveness to their lives as well. :slight_smile:

Good luck and would like how it all went.
