Exercise and moods

Just done the classic new year thing and booked an induction at the gym. Haven't been near the place for 10 years, it has changed somewhat!  Anyway was inspired by my 19 year old son who had his induction today (different gym, mustn't cramp his style!).  What are my goals at the gym?  I am quite clear about these.

1.  To release those endorphins, there's nothing to beat the good feeling they give you.

2.  'Tidy up' the tummy are - moving quickly on ...

3.  Feel good that I am taking action to be the best that I can be in terms of fitness.

Mother Teresa's wise words

Between you and God

by Mother Teresa

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.

If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
Give the world the best you've got anyway.

You see, in the end, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway.

Yoga for the new year

Like many of you, I too can get out of the habit of regular yoga practice.  This seems like an appropriate time of year to re-visit the mindset of regular yoga practice.

My 5 top tips for getting started.

1. Set aside a specific time or times to enjoy your practice.

2. Be sure that you are not practising on a full stomach.

3. Turn off your phone and make sure others in the household know that you not to be disturbed.

4. Wear clothes that are warm but comfortabe and loose around the waist and shoulders.

5. Make sure your environment is a comfortable temperature.
