I actually did it....

I have to celebrate that for so many years of dreading the idea and totally putting it off my list of possibilities, I got up at 5:15 a.m. and went to the gym! I was going after work which was okay, but I've begun to realize it's more crowded and I sometimes don't feel the motivation the way I did this a.m.

I had to celebrate that because when people I know tell me they get up way before work to work out it would make me cringe. But the fact that it improves my mood, energizes me and keeps me in shape, this is great!

Money Meditation

(From YogaJournal.com Daily Insight)

When economic times are bad, remember that everything that arises in the world of form is impermanent. The impermanence of our economic well-being—which, for many of us, is synonymous with "survival"—can, of course, create a sense of freak-out. But such fears are rarely based on a present-moment experience of lack. The mind's tendency is to extrapolate today's minor disturbance into something much larger and more threatening tomorrow.

Experienced yoga practitioners are not necessarily immune; many a yogi and wise sage lose their cool when it comes to the possibility of financial loss. But if we know where to look, yoga gives us many tools that we can call on in times of distress.

While you're in the midst of worry, anxiety, or any negative emotional states, try this twist on a traditional lovingkindness (metta) meditation: "May I feel this fear for all the other who are worried and anxious right now, so that they don't have to." This takes you out of your self-concern and reminds you of your interconnectedness with all beings, which will create a profound sense of relief.
