Happy Friday everyone!
This was the first week I tried meditating! I was really sceptical
of it all but I really needed to take control of any stress and anxiety in my
life and I was promised that meditation would really be good for me.
Meditation
I have done it 3 times this week, to avoid me making any exercises
about time I decided to do it on my way to work as I sit on the train, then
thought, let me do this right, so tried it after work at home.
I downloaded 2 meditation
apps on my phone
1.
Beginners Mediation

Take a break
Day 1: I got comfortable on my exercise mat laying flat on my back.
I put my headphones on and listened to the instructors. As I have never meditated
before, I was a bit scared of completely clearing my mind, so I kept on opening
my eyes. Not quite sure what I was even scared about!
Day 2 -3: After overcoming my fears, I let go and really
meditated. Amazing! I loved the relaxed feeling I got after my sessions. I do
not know why it have taken me so long to try it, I highly recommend it!
Afterwards, or at least during the session, I feel free from any worries, or
anything that I need to do, it is really a state of complete relaxation.
Yoga
Yoga and meditation go hand in hand, but am busy trying to stretch
myself to meditate as I do my yoga. I have joined the 30 day Yoga challenge at
DOYOUYOGA.com , when you sign up they send you daily 20 mins Yoga exercises to
your inbox for 30 days. I have not been spammed by them at all!
As I run 3 times a week, I have been doing the Yoga on my rest
days Tuesday and Thursday (will skip weekends). Honestly I love the exercise,
the instructor is really flexible, so my version is never quite like hers but I
will get there! I highly recommend this challenge, exercising has never been so
simple and convenient!
Has anyone tried meditation or Yoga? How did you find it and any
tips?

I often meditate and its really relaxing but never tried yoga before. Looks like you had a great fitness week especially after you conquered your fears.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great fitness week. I have really enjoyed meditating and will definitely be doing it more going forward.
DeleteI bought a few yogo DVDs years ago but never used them (don't judge lol), gonna have to dust them off.
