Congrats

 

[Nihopaloa]

Congratulations on finishing 30 Days of Yoga!

I remember when I did that one years ago, there were a lots of poses I couldn't really do, like the downward dog. But the programme still did wonders. Have fun with the next one!

 

[BetaCorvi]

Congrats on 30 days of Yoga!

 

[PetiteSheWolf]

For meditation, may i suggest

(didn't find it in dutch, sorry). Using famous paintings as support (a good reason to take the "paper" version, not the electronic); he touches on meditation and diverse ways it touches us. A very nice and thoughtful introduction to meditation.

@PetiteSheWolf Yes! Thank you very much. I needed that little nudge to get started. There's so much information to be found about meditation/mindfulness but a lot of it is either stuff that I already know/is just common sense or that is a bit too esoteric for my tastes. This seems great. I'll walk to the (English) bookstore later and see if they might have it, or else I'll order it. Will let you know how I like it!

17-4-2023 - day 63

• 30 Days More of Yoga day 4

Yesterday I accidentally hurt my head and I am still feeling some occasional dizziness and lack of concentration. That's why maybe this will be all the exercise I'll do for today; I'd rather not jump around too much.

If I do decide to do something extra, I'll add it later.

(Edit: I did HC Hybrid Routine, 3x40 Incline Pushups in the evening)

@JCU @Fremen @roman @Mianevem @Tileenah @Anek @Lady Celerity @Whirly @Matan
Thanks all for the healing vibes. I'm sure I'll be okay. It's just that injuries to the head are a little bit extra scary so I am very careful.


18-4-2023 - day 64

• 30 Days More of Yoga day 5

Tough one, this, with the backbends and one-legged planks. Couldn't quite manage to do all the poses for the full 60 seconds. But good practice I guess...

and

• HC Hybrid Routine
  • 3x30 Horizontal Pullups
  • 2x50 Half Squats

I really should have not done this, especially the squats. But I did them slowly.

I didn't accomplish all that I had wanted to do today, because I was both busy and tired. So no Hybrid Calisthenics practice and only level II of Zero Hero. Today's plank variations were still quite challenging, but I think they are slowly improving.

@PetiteSheWolf I picked up he book that you suggested earlier at the bookshop today. So far I only got to read the first few pages but I'm looking forward to reading more. I'm pretty sure I'll like it!

25-4-2023 - day 71

[PetiteSheWolf]

Grins and hope you do enjoy the book - or at least get a different perspective on meditation from it!

 

[Montserrat]

26-4-2023 - day 72

Unfortunately I did almost nothing. Just Zen in order to not lose my exercise streak.

@Nihopaloa This is a silly story. But it's still fun

 

[Anek]

Everything counts!

 

[Montserrat]

28-4-2023 - day 74

True, @Anek!

Once again, not much exercise today. I'm working long hours this week and next week as well, because I'm covering for a colleague that has to spend some time recovering from surgery. So no time in the mornings and too tired in the evenings... Ah well, I guess it's ok to do a little less for a few days.

So only:

• Stay Awake!

 

[Nihopaloa]

Glad you enjoy the story. Just wait for the grand finale with the big philosophical motif

Unfortunately, almost nothing. Just Energizer w/EC, as a last resort after having been at work all day.

 

[Lady Celerity]

Hey but you did something. Good job!

 

[PetiteSheWolf]

That's already something. Well done!

 

[Montserrat]

3-5-2023 - day 79

Thanks @Lady Celerity and @PetiteSheWolf. True. Keeping this daily log and reading your lovely comments do help a lot to keep going, I must say!

Today was a bit like yesterday. Just the EotD: 2 Minutes Arm Scissors. Also, I ate some rather unhealthy meals. In a few days time, I'll be back on track I'm sure...

Have a nice evening all!

 

[Julian4077]

Keep going mate. Something is better than nothing and sometimes those somethings can become habit. We have your back so keep it up!

 

[Tileenah]

you'll see this through! We'll cheer for you all the way!
