Don’t keep allowing the same things to upset you. Life’s too short to live that way. Every day is a gift.

Self awareness is such a important thing. It can completely transform us as people. When you are on the path to self awareness you behave, talk and translate things in an entirely different way. Self awareness isn’t a place, you don’t get to a point where you can say ‘I now am self aware.’ It is a journey. You are forever becoming more and more self aware as our lives progress and change. We are forever having our eyes opened. It is such a vital thing to build on, even more so for me.

In order to be positive you have to believe everything you do will change your life. Even getting out of bed could lead to something a year from now. Maybe you dont even talk to anyone or see anyone the day you get out of bed, maybe you just paint or listen to music, play the guitar you’ve had sitting in your closet, say hello to an old friend & see how they’re doing, put clothes on you feel comfortable and hot in, take a stroll. Something will change & be that way a year from now. The paper you painted on won’t be white, The music you heard inspired you, The guitar opened doors for you, The old friend became your best friend, The clothes gave you confidence, The stroll crossed paths with you and a force of energy you wouldn’t have collided with in bed. Do what you’ve been putting off instead of drilling the thought into your head all day that “it’s not going to change anything, so what’s the point?”, while you lay in bed feeling sorry for yourself. Feel happy for yourself, good things come.

30 Day Meditation Challenge - Day 2

My general mood of the day was pretty negative. I didn't have very much anxiety though. My thoughts remained positive and I was very calm and tried to engage my negative fears away with positive thoughts. 

The meditation challenge today was focused on the breath and holding and releasing the breath for longer than 5 counts. I found that I could barely hold it in and release for 5 counts let alone longer than that. I felt myself become a bit breathless and I really wanted to stop the counting and just breathe naturally. But after the challenge I realised that while my focus had been on my breath and counting the moments in between, I had not focused on anything else. My mind did not wander which is a pretty big feat for me because I always wander away in my thoughts during meditation and have to gently guide myself back. That made me really happy. Maybe I shall try a similar version of this but with holding my breath for fewer counts and that shall help with the breathlessness.

Day 2- 30 Day Yoga Challenge 

I hate when my big breasts try to suffocate me when I am attempting certain yoga poses. Today's yoga challenge was focused on the chest and the shoulders and as a result I found a lot of the positions making it harder for me to breathe when I was trying them. I could stretch out and do the pose but my breasts would just be in the way or would become pressed into my face and that was just really uncomfortable. My chest felt heavy rather than becoming more "open" as the challenge suggested it would do. 

Why boobs why? Stop making my life miserable.

I decided to give the 30 Day Yoga Challenge a try too and wow I am so stiff. I find it really hard to do the full poses and the stretches aren't painful but it feels uncomfortable because I'm so not used to it at all. I will not openly commit to doing this daily because I'm an asshole who some days just doesn't want to but I do commit to finishing the entire challenge. It feels good.
