Stop resisting

“Stress is literally just resistance to whatever the moment presents to you. Today notice what areas or moments in your day that you most resist. What would happen if you were able to let go of some of that resistance? This doesn’t mean you have to stop striving for your goals, but rather that you do your best and then let go of your attachment to an outcome. Constant resistance and inner turmoil wears you down more than anything else and does nothing to help the process. What would you do with this extra energy if you were able to simply stop resisting life?” – Tiffany Cruikshank

With those thoughts, me and Vovven say good nigth! 

Yoga day 10

Yoga challenge over. I loved it and will keep practicing yoga in my “normal” life. I also love how these 10 days have made me feel. I’m filled with energy, wake up early without problem (BIG accomplishment) and just feel really good about myself. I’ve learnt a lot about myself both my physic limitations and my mental ones. In a lot of ways our mind tells us that we can’t do something when we actually can. I think this is something I can bring with me to my wakeboarding and I’m so happy I did this! I can strongly recommend “Bikram Yoga Söder” which is the studio I visited here in Stockholm. All the instructors and staff are really nice and their intro deal (Yoga as much as you want in 10 days for 380 SEK) is what I chose to do.

Bikram Yoga day 7 & 8

Yoga is going well! I’m still shaking with adrenalin every time I leave the house to head for the studio but every time I get there I realize it’s just my thoughts making things out to be worse than they actually are. I can’t believe tomorrow is the last day! I’m actually starting to enjoy the yoga (and just as I write this the thoughts of todays upcoming sesh makes the adrenaline start flowing again). Todays to do list:

Yoga and Cable!

I started my Saturday morning with watching the walk of shame parade of Stockholm on my way to Yoga practice at 8.30 am. After 90 minutes of great yoga I headed home to load up my car and drive to cable with my friend Martin. Once there, the line was massive so we chilled for an hour watching the European Cable Championship. Congrats to Michaela, Judith and David who all got silver in their division! (:
Then followed a couple of hours of riding in mixed weather of rain, sun, storm and calm water. I had a great time though but completely worn out now. If I have the energy I’ll go back tomorrow as well, cable is fun!
