House hunting – as markets back here in Canada soften even further, more and more options become available in the price range I have been looking at. Originally Milton seemed to be the best option, but now even areas in Oakville and Burlington have become more attainable again. Being that the home in Texas is now rented out; the home purchased here in Canada will be a second mortgage. This is a question for all landlords out there... or people with more than one mortgage. I want to know if there are mental aspects of owning two homes, and thus carrying two mortgages, that one needs to prepare for. I have of course worked out all the finances of it, but am in the dark for what stresses if any may come from owning more than one home....
Running – Well yesterday I went and bought some new shoes. If you recall in my previous posts I had been complaining about how difficult it was to find motivation while running. Well I have decided to treat myself as a sort of motivation. I hit a goal of running now 10 K continuously (just under an hour for those who care) so I bought myself some new runners as a reward. Can self bribery help me to obtain my own goals?
Yoga – As I continue my practice of yoga to keep limber during these times of heighten training, I am becoming aware of the variety of posses and variation of posses in this art form. I find certain posses I love, and some that I shy away from. I am wondering for all those out there ... do you find the same thing? What are some of your favourite posses?
interesting. i found the same thing in my yoga practice (which has been sadly abandoned for a couple years now..!) in that there were certain poses i absolutely dreaded, and even tried to kind of half-ass my way through them. the amazing thing - when i worked through that, some of those poses became favourites. something i NEVER would have believed initially. i can actually remember the tipping moment when the purpose of the pose came clear - i guess you could say, the moment when my body figured it out and learned how to work with it rather than fight it. those challenging ones are eventually the most rewarding...takes time though.
ReplyDelete(um. to counter that - i am still a big fan of childs pose and the one at the end, where you almost fall asleep? yeah. that in itself makes yoga worthwhile! hahaha)
You are correct, seeking out how to work with the stretch or pose, and letting go is the key. I suppose that is why much of Yoga is mental rather than physical.
ReplyDeleteWho doesn't love the childs pose! I practice each and every night ;-)
