Do you ever feel like you're being torn in two different directions?  Most of us can relate to this feeling at some point.  Do you hear a voice telling you to go a certain way, or choose a certain task?  I feel like this often especially when it comes to self motivation.  There are days when I feel like I can conquer the world...Super Mom!!!  Then of course there are days when I feel like I have been conquered...by three little girls or by something in my day that just didn't go quite right.  


Today, I am talking about exercise and motivation.  Be it my occasional lack of motivation or feeling tired from just being a Mom; it is so easy to ignore the positive voice and say to yourself, "I'll do it tomorrow."  I don't want to listen to my negative, low motivating voice any longer.  We are not promised a tomorrow, so I am starting anew.  I am going to try my best to choose the positive, motivating, hard working voice.  


I started practicing yoga a month or so ago.  I need it for many reasons: my low back issue, to balance myself and to be in tune with myself.  I absolutely love it.  I love how I feel when I am stretching....Yes yoga is hard work.  I love how I feel when I am done.  It's a sense of accomplishment when one day I can stretch just a tad bit further and work my body more.   It is an hour or so of time when I am alone with my thoughts and tuning into what my body needs.  Yes, there is a room full of other people doing the same exact thing, but if you've ever taken yoga you know what I mean....there is a sense that you are there alone with the instructor.  


So, today I am thankful for finding yoga and for choosing to listen to my positive voice.  It's soothing for my body, soul and mind.  I can't do much better than that.

I am going to a studio for class. I try to go two days a week but would love to do more! Maybe if my schedule opens up a bit :-)

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
