My morning routine today changed a bit, I added one simple step, which is affirmations. Yesterday I was on Instagram and I saw a video of a lovely woman saying that her life changed when she started the habit of morning affirmations.
My thoughts are usually not so kind to me, I'm too harsh on myself, I speak to myself in a very rude way. I don't forgive myself easily, and I need to stop this.
So I kept repeating (I'm beautiful, I'm enough, I'm worthy) I have always considered myself not beautiful, not worthy, and not enough, my thoughts hurt me more than anything.
I started with three affirmations and I will increase them gradually.
Remember to be kind to yourself.
It's day 18 of BREATH - A 30 Day Yoga Journey :) we made it this far, can you believe this? This is wonderful.
Today's yoga practice is titled (Center) so the poses focused on the core, I was a bit worried before starting this session but I reminded myself that I'm strong and I trust Adriene to guide me through this yoga class.
I streamed a few of Taylor Swift's songs before starting this yoga practice. I love her songs, they boost my mood.
Adriene told us to check in and see how we feel, I felt that my heart still carries pain. The pain comes and goes in waves that I don't control. I'm not healed yet. I'm still hurt. It's not easy to let go but I'm trying, I will explain in later posts.
She gently started this yoga class and that made me feel safe and confident that I can do this.
Adriene wrote in the email (Practice slowing down at the beginning of this session, then join me as we mindfully layer to power postures.)
She kept motivating us to use the Ocean Breath technique that she taught us earlier in this journey and I must say it's so healing, it made me feel at ease.
The entire practice made me feel grounded and centered, I couldn't do the crow pose but I feel I'm closer to it.
Adriene celebrates everyone in this journey, she celebrates everyone doing yoga, she recognizes that our levels of power vary, and she admires our strength to get on the mat.
Find the motivation in your heart and take time for yourself. Never doubt yourself.
