Talk to me Sunday Steemians! How are you feeling today? Any aches and pains? How did you sleep? Anything good for breakfast?
A Sunny-Morning-Sunday-Salutations to you my Blockchain-Brethren! The clock’s hands are coming ‘round to 12 so I better not mince words, or else this will turn into an afternoon post, and I’ll have to delete that clever line.
Fitbit says I got nearly 8 hours of sleep, which is more that I can say for the past few nights. The sun is shining, (which has a huge effect on my mood and focus levels) and even though I woke up with that damn pinched nerve in my back again, just as it was starting to feel great, I got up relatively early, bundled up to my nose and did a bit of outdoor Yin yoga in the sun.
It was COLD. I’m not going to lie- definitely freezing temperatures and windy BUT the sun was OH SO NICE! - I found myself a little dry sunny patch outside the van and settled in for an hour long practice.
If you’re not familiar, Yin yoga targets the deep stiff connective tissues that lie beneath the muscles, this is where real flexibility and balance comes from, and when I finish a Yin practice I feel like a new person.
The poses are held for quite a long time, about 2-5 minutes, so if you’re used to flow or Vinyasa yoga (which is likely what’s taught at your local studio or gym) it can be as much of a mental challenge as it is a physical. For me, it’s an excellent opportunity to breathe deep, meditate and practice mindfulness.
Bringing your mindset back to the moment, when your brain tries to talk to you about all the things you have to do in the day, or that thing that person said to you yesterday, or what your morning Steemit post will be about is tough, but it’s in the “bringing back” that that mental muscle really gets flexed and you come out the other side feeling mega focused and grounded.
Which is important if you’re wobbly-wobbly-flowy-Pisces like me. ;)
@Teamhumble expressed interest in hopping on a bus tomorrow and going for a swim (after we fetch him some shorts) which I know will do WONDERS for my back and aching muscles if we can pull it off. Fingers crossed we can find him a suit!
Being in town tomorrow and all day Wednesday for V-or Valentines day means today is going to have to be a hustle mode day. As it stands right now, the odds are in my favor, I’ve got the heat pack melting my back in the best way, I’ve finished my green tea (heading into coffee land soon) and I’ve even made breakfast for us already!
If you follow @teamhumble you’ll know he’s usually the one to take care of breakky while my tired brain eases into this reality. It felt really nice to get behind the pan and make our eggs up after I got back inside from yoga.
(Oh! And we’ve got the Olympics on in the background - perfect background for a work day)
Ok pals that’s it for me. Lots of things to do today on my computer. If you haven’t already, join us in our Discord channel and say hello!
