Make a Move to Practicing Yoga Daily

  Get Outside and Move!Change is in the air!  Can you feel it?  I can.  Cool evenings and mornings together with early sunsets indicates fall is coming!  (Sure, it snowed but, that was jumping the gun a bit, and won't count that).

I enjoyed some travel over the last couple of months and noticed a shift in my body, going from action to in-action,  from loosely fitting jeans to contemplating buying bigger ones.   As wonderful and amazing it is to visit family and new places, the sitting in planes trains and automobiles, eating fried foods, and drinking more alcohol helped me arrive at a place of inactivity.  It's in these last few weeks, I recognize laziness in movement and complacency towards clean eating setting in. 

Moving the body is the best way to help prime the engine for healthfulness.  Fake it til you make it, is my motto.  Even if it's a short walk around the block, know it's important to start somewhere. What did I do to get out of my rut?  We enjoyed the perfect jump start back into forward motion with a full day hike around Mount Rainier, WA.   God's beautiful creation was enough to take my mind off the fact that I was gasping for air and working my muscles.

Note to self:  when it comes to taking care of my temple of the Holy Spirit, I need a daily practice of stretching  to ease me back to spiritual health.  To allow myself time to focus on God's word, using controlled breathing and embracing physically challenging poses on my yoga mat, draws me back on the straighter path.  My challenge in the next couple weeks is to get back into daily yoga.  Pre- dawn is best, if I can get there.  Join me if you feel inclined to take up this daily practice and let's encourage each other, ok?

Romans 12:1 - And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. -NLT
