This week I attempted another
shot at meditation. It didn’t go well. I wasn’t crazy over the one we did in
class, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about doing meditation so I gave
it another try. I took a class called Be at
lifetime fitness, which is a meditation class. I hated it. I only got about 15
minutes into it before I snuck out and left. It has us trying to focus on our
breathing, than visualizing objects, feeling out body parts in space, blah blah
blah… I don’t really have the attention span for this and I felt like I was
wasting my time. Maybe I should try it for a shorter period of time and then
work up to an hour-long class or maybe meditation isn’t really my thing.
I did an early morning wake up class and just like the last few I did I really enjoyed them. We did an Ashtanga style vinyasa class. It was nothing too intense, just a bunch of sun salutation to wake up the mind and body. I like this because it isn’t taxing on the central nervous system like other forms of exercise can be. It’s perfect to start the day because it gets your muscles lose and moving, which is always good before a day of work or sitting at a desk at school. I’ve noticed from doing yoga that my lower back has loosened up a lot and I think it’s from these morning sun salutations I’ve been doing throughout the semester. Another thing I’ve noticed from doing morning yoga is that I drink more water throughout my day. Because of the early morning class I become thirsty earlier on in the day and it makes me end up taking in more water than usual which is always a good thing.
