Happy Wednesday and Congratulations Challenger Yogis! We are on Day 30 of your Challenge. Please stay with us.. we will close out our daily positive practices inspired by the Sutras this week including another Svadhyaya Journal Day before we start our special December Holiday Yamas Month.
Happy Wednesday Yogis! We are continuing on with weaving practice of each of the Niyamas into our day. This is our 15th Tapas or discipline Day for 2022! Our intro Tapas Day, we made a goal that was important to us. Each Tapas Day, we check in on our progress. It has been nearly a month since our last Tapas Day, so if you are a new Yogi and have kept up on your daily habit, you have likely successfully formed a new habit! Congratulations, keep it up!! If you have not kept up, examine why you did not, and consider if you want to keep this goal or set a new one. Evaluate the reminders and/or rewards you set for yourself, and perhaps modify these systems to ensure your success! Yoga is a practice, and successfully changing our habits is about consistency, so we will keep checking in on our goals on Tapas Days.
PS I want to report back on my Duolingo Daily Habit.. I have kept up with this goal and I am currently on nearly a two year long streak, going for 1000 🙂
For December we are going to have a special Yamas / Interpersonal Ethics focused month. December is the holiday season for many worldwide nations, cultures, and religions, so this ties in with most other holiday seasons our Yogis may celebrate. I will continue my research through the month and tie in our practices with world holidays if they tie in with our daily practices… please contact me if you have any requests or suggestions!
Today’s Daily Yogi Practice is to check in on our daily habits. Additionally, I recommend either getting some exercise for Tapas Day and Work Out Wednesday, or setting a Yamas-focused goal for the month of December. If you are having a hard time keeping up with the daily habits you have set for yourself, consider trying and sticking with a 30 Day Challenge! There are many free Apps for other 30 Day Challenges.
Nearly all holidays this month involve feasting, so we will start the month with a work out! If you eat more calories you should burn more calories, and I love holiday treats, so I am preparing for the holiday season with burning more calories – getting extra exercise! My favorite workout challenge is a free app called 30 Day Butt, which allows the pop-up phone notifications I love so much. I am also going to do a couple of our past Yoga Workouts today – Tiger Crunches for Core and Glutes, and Upward Plank Holds for Glutes.
I am starting a new decluttering challenge.. perhaps try a simple cleaning challenge or a deep cleaning challenge! I also signed up for the 30 Day Kindness Challenge for our Yamas Month- I will report back!
I love resolutions and intentions, and I have set intentions to focus on Ahimsa and Aparigraha and signed up for a kindness challenge and will focus on gratitude for the month of December, to align with our Yamas holiday month.
