This week I've had a few moments of boredom on the mat; wondering what I was doing there in some weird twisted yoga pose or repeating a movement five times over. I've also had a few moments of hilarity as I observe myself and the things around me, and have to stop myself from giggling in class which is nice. I'm finding that I smile alot during yoga, and I really have a sense of joy and peacefulness during my classes - even when they're physically tough. This is the good thing about practicing so frequently - I get these peaceful bliss-outs more often.
I'm also pleased to say my food cravings are gone - or maybe I focussed more on not responding to cravings. I feel much better for that, and am looking forward to the 3-day fruit fast next week.
Mentally, I seem to be getting my crap together again as well. I think I may have finally ridden out the wave of emotions that engulfed me in the first few weeks. I no longer feel like I'm drowning in other people's isssues and have returned to a more balanced space of acceptance.
I've looked at the kind of issues that seemed to 'appear' in my life when the 40-Day challenge began, but I realise they were all mine, and were always there, I just hadn't paid so much attention to them before. Others I think I manifested because I needed a reason to change.
This week I feel more accepting of the things I can't change, and ready to work with my own truth for the things that I can. There are patterns I need to break and boundaries to cross, and these will be challenging, but I feel more prepared, positive and open about trying.
I'm definitely smiling again this week!
