This Mama\’s Journey Back To Meditation

Long time, no talk; I know. But I\’ll get better, I promise! I have had a lot, and I mean a lot, on my plate the past several months. And that is actually what lead me to picking up yoga and meditation again.

I used to practice yoga a little bit more consistently a few years ago. I thought it was cool and felt great after every session. I didn\’t make it a habit, and felt I \”got what I needed\” from it then. I stopped and would only do it on occasion for a moving stretch or something.

Now I\’m learning that yoga is a form of meditation, and it\’s not something that you just stop doing when you feel better about a certain situation in your life.

It becomes you, is you.

So I\’ve gotten back on the proverbial meditation horse and am riding it til the wheels fall off (so much to unpack there, really, wheels?). I\’ve done several sessions in the past week and remembered how much I enjoyed this! I\’m geeking out over the mental and physical changes that come along with it.

Do you practice meditation or yoga?? What classes do you take? Just curious. I\’m doing the Peloton yoga and meditation classes currently. I\’m also taking a 100 hour Meditation Teacher course and a 200 hour Yoga Teacher course to go further in my understanding and learning. I\’ll be a certified Meditation Teacher and certified Yoga Teacher afterwards. Pretty cool perk to gaining that deeper knowledge!

If I\’m lucky, I\’ll have a cool documented journey back to meditation and yoga. Blogging is part of that, for me. I unpacked what my outlets are with my therapist, and blogging/writing has always been one. Getting back to that will be rewarding in itself.

I deactivated the FB page for @thedailymamablog , because I feel like it\’s not truly the platform for what I aim and hope to do with The Daily Mama brand. It just felt right to let it go, at least for now.

In the meantime, keep up with me here on the blog (or don\’t, up to you!) for even better content than I was able to produce on IG. Sometimes it might seem like I\’m just on here talking to myself, but you\’re always welcome to comment and become part of the conversation.

I\’ll need to come up with a signature signoff now…

Namaste? Peace, love, and hair grease? Deuces?

Ugh..
