Jealousy

Forgive Feelings

Caught up to today! Day 7 – Forgive Feelings. This meshes right in with my “aim to not complain” project. It’s not about squelching emotions. It’s about being aware when they begin, and find a way to aim that energy productively. If I sense myself starting to be cranky, I am mindful of it and […]

Reading Forgiveness by Iyanla Vanzant – it’s a 21 day step by step approach to forgiving. An interesting, useful exercise to go through.

Yoga

A lovely yoga session with birds at the two feeders. I’m doing better at plank, too – I have 2 rounds of it during the sun salutations. Here’s my current routine: Forward Standing Section * Standing gently turning arm-flapping-like-open-coat-sleeves, 20 count, a la Kripalu. * Moon pose, left and right * Bend back, then bend […]
