Yoga

Well, finished school! Yay! Graduated a little more than a month ago. Crazy isn't it? Well, I have been doing almost nothing these days back in Miami, which has been driving me a bit crazy. I have been hitting the gym hard, then working on essays, then running, then essays, then driving, then essays, and back to the gym. Oh, and of course, watching WAYYYY TO MUCH TV. You know you have watched too much TV when you are watching reruns of episodes of shows that you've already watched twice before in the same week! That is just sad. I was also getting really anxious about a lot of different issues and feeling overall pretty bad.

I realized last night as I was tossing and turning restlessly in my bed that I was upset because I had lost touch with the way I had been up to sophomore year of college. I always had had a very spiritual way of viewing the world...I always saw it as if everything was almost magical, a fun mystery I wanted to unlock. I know it sounds silly. And if you know me, you are probably laughing at the BS you think I might spewing out. But I am serious. Its hard to explain really. But anyway, back in my sophomore I used to Yoga and I remembered last night how good it made me feel. I love being active, doing gymnastics, swimming, running, going the gym...but nothing really has ever compared to the feeling I get after I do an intense Power Yoga routine. I always centered me and helped let go of all my mundane anxieties. It just made me feel good, inside and out. So today, I popped in Baptiste Yoga audio CD and did a 75 minute routine. I was amazed at both how much I was still able to do and how much I had lost in the last two years! It felt awesome though. I really felt like myself again. It is completely what I needed and I think I am going to do it more often now (especially this summer). I don't think I've ever felt so calm this year until today. Anyway, I'll stop ranting like a New Age lunatic now. Just felt like sharing that experience. It feels good to feel spiritual again.
