It was time. I had time. I have not always had the time or the mental clarity to put myself before my family but this year there was an opportunity to do so and to create a habit that I believe will last the rest of my life.
The BBL gifted me the framework in which to achieve this goal. I was more focused on improving my mental and physical health than anything else and I wanted to shape the rest of my life so that I would be a good role model for my grand-children. I believe that good health and well-being is something that assists oneself in the ability to serve those we love and the greater community.
It was not always easy and I found the hardest obstacle of all came in the last week of the challenge when my mother fell and broke her hip and my father who is unwell needed extra care. My family who had supported me throughout the challenge stepped up and enabled me to complete the challenge by stepping into my shoes and helping care for my parents.
The most astonishing thing that I found was that the further on I got on the challenge the more energy and motivation I received. It was like yoga was gifting me the means to continue. I pledged to myself that I would try to attend as many yoga classes as I was able to; thus making the most of my time on the challenge.
I soon learned that I needed to become super organised. I packed my food for the day into a small chilly bag before leaving for work. I packed my yoga clothes and everything I would need into the car before leaving home and so after work I headed straight to the studio.
Besides having a sticker chart at the studio I also had one at home so that I could see my progress and this kept me focused. Although I am enjoying researching the keto way of life and enjoying its benefits I believe that it was the yoga that accelerated my way to better health. I do feel fantastic and have vowed to myself that yoga is like a food for me that nourishes and heals my body. I will practice it as long as I breathe.
