August Yoga Challenges/Path To Positivity Week 1

August is here and that means it is time for new instagram yoga challenges!!!  I wasn't as persistent with last months challenges but I am still going to participate as much as I can until my mini yogi arrives!!

This month I chose to participate in #Balancethemind which is hosted by @fairyhealthylife, @tyneedncr, @nadianoelle, @sequelLife_BP, @heartbeat4many @_satki, @jymaya, @rahmiohmness, @alexisr022, @mountainflower, @dalima26, and @maryjvandy.  Each day one of them will post the pose to capture and post on your own instagram and tag it #balancethemind.

I am also going to take part in #Yogratitude which is hosted by @tjhark, @gypsetgoddess, @laurasykora, and @masumi_g.  Same goes for this challenge, everyday one of the instagramers listed above will post a pose for the following day that you capture, post on your instagram, and tag #yogratitude.

Just a little Path to Positivity update!  I am thrilled that there are so many people participating this time!  I have decided to post one to two activities a week instead of trying to post one everyday!!  The instagram tag is #pathtopositivity for anyone who would like to join in or you can follow my blog as I post the weekly activities.

Day 1: Gratitude Journal/Notebook.

Grab yourself a little notebook to keep by your bed or in your purse.  The notebook is going to be your gratitude notebook/journal.  Once a day take a few minutes and jot down a few things you are grateful for that day.  Making a daily list of what we are grateful for will help us complain less about what we don't have and appreciate what we already have a little more.  You can even get a little creative and put together a gratitude board such as a chalk or dry erase board that you can keep in spot you will see everyday!  Today I was informed by a fellow yogi/instagramer about an iPhone app called the "Gratitude Journal" by HappyTapper where you can post your list right to your phone and even add photos and read daily quotes!!
