So many decisions

-
I started my day with a long list of things I want to achieve, which stresses me out from the get-go.
Dishes/pick up house
Work Meetings
Research Buddhism
Watch Yoga videos to understand proper posture of poses
Research Yoga Mats
Start looking into aerial yoga (my main yoga goal, I want...no I need to do this!!)
Honestly, I've probably spent more time looking up yoga mats and swings on amazon than I have actually spent watching videos on how to do this
I mean seriously, I have fallen into the black hole of google, amazon, and youtube. With a billion tabs open so I don't forget one of the things I've found or wanted to read up on...this is getting ridiculous.
Obviously these are first world problems

I pushed everything aside and made myself stop putting it off, I just finished up with my very first yoga lesson. Granted I'm doing this at home, and I don't have a yoga mat at the moment but I did use my daughters gym mat which is very thick and hard and well I'll go get a mat this evening. Other than those things it felt amazing, I am going to love this, it is exactly what I needed.
I will do another later that I'll consider an actual yoga session because it will be less about learning posture for the poses and actually doing them.
My cousin, beautiful lady that she is, is the one who has inspired me to try yoga. She is amazing at it, she is just so knowledagable about it. So tonight, with tips from her, I'll be in a quiet well naturally lit room with a calming scent going. She uses candles, but I'm a scentsy girl and I don't have a single candle in this house so I'll riffle through my wax collection and see what scent is calming for me. I'm thinking sweet cucumber, it's so calming and clean and pure to me, but we will see.

My focus for today
We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.

 Here is the link to the video I did this morning

Today, I shall struggle, and struggle I do so well

I'm struggling today, with the concept of...everything. A lot over my lifetime I have felt empty and I'm trying to find what is suppose to fill that void. I've tried food, running and boxing, kids, family, addictions, extreme spending habits in hobbies and other things. I want to be a good person because that's what I am, I don't feel a person should have to be negotiated with and bought with a reward/prize for them to live by the rules of being a good person. Now hear me out. Those rules are just common sense. Don't murder, well no shit. Don't take property that doesn't belong to you, also common sense that's why it's in every single religion no matter the variation, it's just obvious. I was reading that beliefs and religion are 90% of the time tradition, being trained, and environment, how you were raised. Some were forced to go to church from a young age and still continue to go as we get older, I do not fall into that category. I

For me,

For me, a diet wasn't enough to keep me on target, it wasn't enough for me to change to make the changes necessary to stay on track. For me, I needed a lifestyle change, I needed something I believed in, it had to be more than just losing weight I needed something to rid my life of toxins. This had been something I had been working towards for a year, slow intracit moves, directed towards results, and end goal, a destination. For me, honestly, it all started with my hair. My first step was going no poo or curly girl, realizing what those ingredients masked in the form of beautiful scents and shine were chemicals that hid their harm. To read and realize what I had been doing to my hair since birth almost was gut wrenching. That is when u began a search for peace, seeking harmony with my soul and mind. Next was yoga, this was a form of me being able to let go of so much negative energy and toxins that had weighed my soul down for far too long and I desperately needed them gone.

The Couple Next Door, I am extremely excited to read this book, it is currently waiting at the library for me to pick up tomorrow and I hope to be done with a stranger in my house by then The Widow Fiona Barton The Child Fiona Barton Blood Sisters two posts back I gave a list of my to be read books, these 4 were on it and did not disappoint, the others I gave a few pages and couldn't get into it or just ended up not enjoying the summary and didn't try it out. As you can see from my previous post, a stranger in the house was a 5 star read for me, so I went on to the Couple Next Door and once again I loved it, the Unwanted Guest by far my favorite of this authors 3 books, and I really really liked all 3 but unwanted guest just reeled me in and dealt the punches. Now, I will say, the ending was a bit of a let down just didn't have the punches the rest of the book had by still a great read. I went on to read The Haunting of Hill House after starting the netflix s
