Yoga: Hip Opener Sequence
Today I found a quick hip opener on yoga journal because my hips felt a little tight.
It is only about 20 minutes long but felt great.
Remember when doing yoga it is not about competing, you want to listen to your body and modify accordingly. You may not always be able to perform the pose as the instructor does and if so that is ok. Yoga is about learning your body and what it is capable of without injuring yourself.
Here is the link for today's sequence: Yoga Journal Hip Opener

Understanding.
I continue to enjoy every second, every minute, and every moment of my life, even if the moment isn't a happy one. I started to read for the second time The Heart of Understanding by Thich Nhat Hanh. It is commentaries on the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra. As I was falling asleep last night I kept thinking about something I read, "If you love, but you do not understand, it is not love, it is something else." I want to be able to understand those I claim to love. I want to feel what they feel, see what they see. I am going to take the journey to understanding, so I can experience "real love" with those I love.

My Beautiful Boy
What a beautiful day this has been, and even though I only slept a couple if hours I really enjoyed working with my mother and Tracy. Those two always have me laughing non-stop. The weather is perfect not too hot or too cold, just right. As I sit outside and listen to the birds chirp, I can not help but think about our little boy who will be here in no more than three months! Even in a world of full of hate, if you look hard enough you can find the good in everything. I want him to be able to look past that hate and see the beauty of life, to understand it. To always have a smile on his face and enjoy each and everyday. I want him to choose happiness and not let the attitudes of those around him ever put a damper on his beautiful soul. He will love and be loved by all.
Let your smile change the world, but don't let the world change your smile.
Today is a new day.
I have experienced anxiety for the first time in a long time yesterday and as I awoke this morning I told myself today is a new day. The mantra of the day yesterday was: I will be free of complaints, but I let myself down. From the time I awoke I started to complain about actions of those who surround me causing the Universe to send more things my way to complain about. Today is a new day. New internal lessons learned. I am strong minded and in a very great place spiritually, I can not let the weak minded affect me as I did. I have made it a promise to myself to let the actions of weak minded people challenge me and see how positive I can truly be. I have a quote posted on my bedroom wall "I am to positive to be doubtful, too optimistic to be fearful, and too determined to be defeated." All so true. Today is a new day let the lessons of yesterdays past help me better today's future. Let silence take over where silence is needed instead of harsh hateful unnecessary words. I am grateful for the lessons I learn and for those who helped me learn them. I am grateful for those who surround me whether they are positive people or negative, something positive can come out of everything. Everything happens for a reason, you can always find the good if you just look deep enough.
I am grateful for the family I have, blood or not.
I am grateful for my husband and everything he does to protect and take care of me and our unborn child.
I am grateful for the challenges the Universe throws at me, they can only make me stronger.
I am grateful for the little birds with a nest by my front door, singing sweet songs, of melody's so pure and true, saying this is my message to you. haha Thanx Bob. :)
Everything little thing is going to be alright.
Mantra of the day: My mind is stronger than those who are weak. I have found internal peace.

Staying positive while the hormones run wild!!
Pregnancy is full of surprises!! One day you might feel amazing and the next not so great. I have noticed that I have not been the most positive person I can be during my pregnancy and have let the hormones get the best of me. I feel like I have to take a stand because it is my mind and I am in control, letting the hormones run things is no excuse. I am normally not the type of person to let others energy effect mine, but lately that has been the case because I have lost control of my own thoughts. The fact that I can not take my boards until July has also caused a wave of negative emotions through my body, but than I think events take place for a reason. I would like to just begin my career as a therapist. I have worked so hard to get to this point and now it's sort of a waiting game. But in the meantime I get to feel my little bundle of joy, Owen, grow in my tummy! I will be grateful for everything each day has to bring.
