Well here I am...getting ready to blog and not sure what to write about! Hmmm....let's talk about my new goal...to meditate for atleast 10 minutes a day.
So far I have made my goal three days in a row! I truly think that is an important component of our health and fitness programs that alot of us, including myself, skip. Breathing deep is so important for us...our bodies need oxygen and when we're running around all day long most of us are taking shallow breaths. Not good for our bodies.
How did this new goal come about you ask? I've been having a recurrence of my back pain lately and I think the humidity has a lot to do with it. However, I started thinking about what I could do to be proactive and help my body. How about BREATHING! Lack of oxygen is not good for the body, maybe my body needs more oxygen. So on that day I made my new goal. I've also been continuing my acupuncture and that gives me a good hour of ME time and using my foam roller.
So I guess my point is....take some time today for you to BREATHE!!! Your body will thank you!!!
No go meditate...It's good for you!!!

I need to get better at meditating more often. For a while I was doing it at least five times a week, 'cause I was really trying to work on my patience and it kind of helped with that, but then I got out of the habit of it. Also for me, I can't just sit there and meditate in silence. It's like, impossible. My brain will go all over the place. So I have two CDs that I listen to--one is just a CD with "music" on it that's supposed to get the brainwaves to a certain state, and it helps me focus on a single thought or two as opposed to just a bunch of stuff, and the other is the Yoga Booty Ballet guided mediation CD. That one is especially helpful 'cause they tell me exactly what to do. Haha.
