Day 2 of 90 days...
"Whatever you can do,
or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius,
power and magic in it."GoetheI woke up this morning and was inspired to write a short note about the next 90 days of my life. My life is built around doing things that I love and learning everyday. I don't often share my more personal goals or challenges and I have been lax about writing on my blog, I really didn't think many people read it. But I received such positive feedback from many people about the clearing of clutter blog entry I feel encouraged to share more and more. It is my intention that in sharing something more personal and making it public I commit to myself and I also it forces me to accept and overcome my own challenges and become even more accountable to myself for my dreams!
So enough about that, the topic of inspiration today is "CHANGE". I mean what is a habit? It is really only an out picturing of our former beliefs right? So whatever you feared in the past you acted out of those fears and created a habit that created a certain outcome. In your relationships, your finances, your physical health, your mental and emotional health. Today you might be living with that outcome and not always happily. So it is time to take a little inventory and look at old habits we want to
CHANGE and that is my 90 day GOAL (oops I don't like to use that word).
"No goals"yogagurl...
Rather it is my 90 day DESIRE and DREAM and WISH.
I am going to go for my highest level of health :
1) physically 2) spiritually 3) emotionally 4) intellectually.
This means feeding all parts of you! Feeding your body , mind and spirit. Most people only work on 2 areas on themselves. I believe in order to evolve fully we must grow and challenge ourselves in all these areas!
It's funny when I told people I was embarking on a 90 day health challenge I got mixed reviews some looked at me and said "for what?" " I mean you already are so healthy & do yoga & eat well and are in shape". And I replied "I have decided to bump everything in my life up 2 notches. No matter where we are in our lives we can always improve and make positive change. The changes we make in one area of our life affects all areas! (money, health, relationships) It is your attitude and outlook that is key!
Here's what my Serge my financial advisor emailed to me :
"Fantastic, setting your self short and medium term goals is the only way to achieve your long term goals in finance. The drive that you have is really inspiring, when I already know how healthy you really are, and you are talking about pushing yourself to the max. Really inspiring."
After teaching yoga for almost 9 years I have realized that my muscles need change, everyday I do the same things over and over and I wasn't challenging my muscles and even started to show signs of injury form repetion. I want to incorporate a workout program that changes things up! Voila I stumble on a program that confuses your muscles--LOL it's true! the program includes karate style, yoga, weights, resistance training----YUM!
I usually do a 30 day quest, which includes yoga, diet, working out, and daily meditation but I was introduced to a 90 day fitness program through my friend
Koko created by his pal
Tony Horton called "P90X". So I thought ---why dont I incporporate that with my personal goals. So I checked it out and I tried several of the dvd's before comitting to the program and I really loved it! Tony is truly an innovator in his field and inspiration to many people. Plus he really has a great sense of humor (kinda like my cheeky yogagurl humor) which makes it really fun !! I also love working out outside on the beach and in the park, so I love that I can modify and take what I am learning and bring it outdoors! Oh and did I mention he LOVES yoga and he understands the importance of diet (he is also vegetarian). Oh and did I mention he's HOT... (Yeah I mean it helps when you are looking and listening to someone that inspires you.)
http://www.beachbody.com/product/fitness_programs/best_sellers/p90x.do?code=BBHOME_PARSEA_P90XOK so the whole point of this is that I would love for you to join me for 21 days, 30, 40, 90 whatever you can and set some personal challenges. Maybe you can DO MORE YOGA, ( watch for my upcoming yogagurl DVD in the fall) make diet changes , commit to regular exercise program ( ie. cut out or back on sugar, refined flours) change up your workouts. Most of all inspire yourself to reach your optimum health. Everyday I hear so many people talk about what they don't want in their life: "I don't want to be broke" "i dont want to lose my job" "i dont want to be fat" I dont want...blah blah... So I ask you WHAT DO YOU WANT? And start practicing it outloud by saying it to people and watch it turn into reality! I've done it --it works.
Remember there are 2 ways of thinking optimistic or pessimistic. Research shows that optimistic people achieve 10 times more than pessimistic is ALL AREAS OF LIFE. (Martin Seligman). Why? Because how you do one thing is how you do everything! Think about it. Observe this today. Notice when you react negatively towards something or someone or respond just out of habit. Take a deep breath before you react and then see if you can do the opposite.
Make today an OPPOSITE Day ( haha). Have I given you too much to digest. Am I rambling yet?
Ok back to the point. Start today. Dont wait. I leave you with one of my favourite quotes by Goethe:
"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation) there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favour all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
"Whine less. Breathe More."
love,

HAVE FUN, PLAY, SEE YOU AT THE BEACH
P.S.
I'll keep you posted as to how I am doing during the 90 days...
