We all say to ourselves: I will exercise tomorrow. I’m gonna go for a run and do it everyday this week. I will join the gym. I will walk to work. But saying these things are easier said than done. Obviously! There are always the easiest excuses to make: I’m too tired. I’m too lazy. I don’t have enough time during the day. I have too many things to do already. I don’t have the funds to join a gym or buy workout gear.
I like to eat as healthy as possible. I definitely feel better when I’m sticking to a healthy regime that covers all nutritional bases, however, sometimes I just NEED that dessert. I crave that something sweet after savoury.

Achieving a constant state of Zen is a challenging task, even through practice. If one is able to draw oneself back to the present moment, albeit time and time again, one is able to develop a stronger and more consistent state of Zen. Acknowledge you have become consumed by life events, or acknowledge fearing an experience so to then suppressing those feelings in order to avoid them, and by doing so you are a step closer to achieving a state of Zen.
As a New Yorker who lived through one of the most horrific and devastating natural disasters in recent history, there was no question as to whether or not I was going to volunteer following the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.
What are the main benefits of yoga? Yoga creates flexibility on both a physical and emotional level, and builds strength within every facet of your being - including in the mental and spiritual realms. A regular practice will serve to tone up your whole body, as it works to create both enduring strength and limber length through a range of poses.
How would most of your friends respond if you told them that you were starting a commitment to doing 40 days of yoga? While it’s a given that you’ll get a mixed bag of reactions, everyone of their questions begins with the startled reaction of, “but WHY!?”
