In my last post I talked about the lack of inspiration I felt to practice yoga and how I didn’t make a considerable effort to set time aside and do something for myself. This past week, and over Thanksgiving break I was happy to be able to overcome this lack of inspiration and really take time for me through the practice of yoga.
This being said, I noticed myself feeling a little happier with myself and more content with everything going on in my life as well. I have had a busy couple of weeks with school and soccer so it was nice to be able to spend a couple minutes away from it all and just enjoy the time I set aside to reflect and think about things going on in my life. I noticed that when I did this I became more productive and more efficient in my work. My motivation to get things done improved and I saw an increase in my awareness towards others and towards other things taking place around me. It made me feel a little more connected to my surroundings and to the people around me.
Reflecting on my decision to practice yoga as my personal project, I am extremely happy I made this choice. I think practicing yoga was very beneficial to me and I think it was a good challenge for me. I look forward to continuing my practice of yoga after the completion of this semester and look forward to see where it will take me.
Hi Lindie! I’m really glad to hear that you enjoyed practicing yoga for your Personal Project this semester. I too have done yoga from time to time and it is a really nice way to take a step back from everything that is going on and to just be aware of one’s surroundings. I think that yoga and meditation are really beneficial practices, therefore, I hope that you will continue to do yoga even after this semester is over.
