Okay, ok! I apologize for not writing for the last 2 days! Today is Day 4 for me and the workout is P90X's YOGA X. I love this workout!
Yoga is essential to any workout! Yoga has a deeper meaning then just stretching in weird ways. It hold a spiritual significance to those who practice it. The deep breathing, the deep stretching releases tension while training the mind to focus. The thoughts that are chaotic in the mind are silenced and allows the one practicing the art to finally be one with the deepest parts of him. All that is internal work, that is necessary to any goal, in fitness or life.
But on the OUTSIDE LOL, yoga teaches you to use your own weight and strength to sculpt the body into what it is meant to look like naturally. I have had amazing results with all different "types" of yoga. But don't get caught up with all the "different name" people place on this method of exercise. Yoga is stretching... keep it simple. Try it once in your life. If you have a moment with God... enjoy it and have fun! It might happen.
So Day 1 wasn't as bad as I thought. Don't get me wrong, IT WAS ROUGH but, I did give my all! That's all I want you to do. I want you to come back everyday and just do your best! I want you to fill your body with all the appropriate vitamins and nutrients. Fill you mind with positive energy. When doing these workout, I do 3 things!
DECIDE I decided a long time ago that the best of me should come out and it was my responsibility to make that happen. There is no turning back at that point. Once a decision is made... STICK WITH IT!
COMMIT Commit yourself to YOU! Set up your goals. Make a To-Do list. I suggest to do Chalene Johnson's 30 Day Challenge. I will promote this 'til kingdom come because it was the catalyst that helped me move forward in a clear, guided manner to figure out what I needed to do to accomplish my goals.
SUCCEED In simple terms... JUST DO IT! You can and will do it! So to intrigue you... stay tuned this week for "Sheena's Fitness & Accountability 30-Day Challenge." There will be prizes and giveaways. But the biggest prize will be the way you feel after deciding, committing and succeeding at your set goals for this challenge. There will be rules... but don't fret! This is going to be fun!

How many of you remember BEETLEJUICE? I'm not talking about the 1988 movie with Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis and Michael Keaton. I'm talking about the animated series that used to come on the WB (Warner Bros.) As a kid, I used to watch it at my babysitters house and would die laughing at BJ's antics. Spongebob has NOTHING on Beetlejuice with his "adult" jokes hidden in kid humor.
Well, this past weekend I was at my bestie Val's house and she was torturing me by making me watch Pippi Longstocking. I now understand my friend a little better. =^P Val has this idea, perpetuated by me of course, that I had a horrible childhood. LOL it wasn't bad... it just wasn't a childhood. Sometimes I have a Michael Jackson complex and sing, "Have you seen my childhood?" Anyway, I digress! So Val decided she is going to give me one now. I guess better late then never. While torturing me with Pippi Longstocking, which we didn't get to finish, she wanted to see if I remembered BJ (ha ha still haven't said his name 3 times!)
I freaked out in excitement when I saw the intro and heard the theme song. In a weird way, BJ was a friend to all. A gross one, but a friend nonetheless. After a few episodes, I learned a great deal of morals and values. Who knew?! Interesting that a ghoul would teach me a lesson. I decided to download all the episodes and just enjoy myself. Man! He is crazy though. LOL
Anyway, yesterday, I watched an episode called Skeletons in The Closet. I don't want to tell you the story because I'm including the episode in the blog. But, here was the lesson I learned that shifted my perspective about myself and my circumstances in life. The skeletons in your closet will come out to haunt you and they will eventually tell the truth for you. If you don't want them to embarrass you later on, tell the truth today. Simple huh? You'd think we'd keep it in mind. We know that when we lie to someone, karma is a pain and some way, somehow, they are going to find out. A lie keeps you in bondage.
But then the lightbulb went off. BJ had to be honest, for once, but it was to himself whom he owed the truth. It made me think. How many of us are lying to ourselves on a daily basis? How many of us know deep down in our being who we are and are still allowing the mental lies to tell us differently? How many of us refuse to look at the lies that our own minds are creating about us like, "You're not good enough, " "You won't get that desire," or "Stop trying! You won't succeed anyway," and for the first time, stop the lies by telling ourselves THE TRUTH?!
To get out of the jam, BJ and Lydia had to admit the truth to themselves. Be like them and tell yourself the truth about yourself on a daily basis. And only you know what that is. A truth people reject is "You are already great...TODAY." You don't have to wait to be great tomorrow. Now some may say, "But I don't feel great today. My life doesn't seem so great if its suppose to be." Well, that is your task. It is already great but it is your duty to follow through in making the thoughts you have created in your mind to manifest in your life. If you can see it in your mind, you can make it happen in your material reality. You can do anything you want that will propel you to great heights because no one can stop you. If a voice in your head or outside of your head is telling you differently, it's lying to you. Lies start within and manifest out here in the material world. Even if you have obstacle in your way, it doesn't matter. The truth is, you can handle them. You were always able to handle your life and what you wanted to experience. Allowing other people's opinions of you or of themselves to project onto your life is a disservice to who you are.
Tell yourself the truth. Know yourself and work only with the truth you are, not the lies.
Ok I have to do it....
Beetlejuice...
Beetlejuice...
BEETLEJUICE!!!
Thank you BJ!
Enjoy the episode. The first episode is The Big Face Off and the second is Skeletons in the Closet! Let me know the lesson or insight you got from watching the funny, crazy, weirdo! =^D Smile
Have you ever felt trapped in your body? Physically? Mentally? Emotionally? Ever felt like you just wanted to crack open your shell and emerge as a new creature? Like a butterfly confined to its cocoon knowing that the growing pains are getting to intense and too strong to remain in that shell any longer. But something is wrong. You just can't seem to break free.
That is exactly what I have felt a great portion of my teenage and young adult life. I've wanted to run out of my skin so many time because I understood that something deeper in me was yearning for something bigger and better that is deserved.
I understood that I was out of alignment with whatever it was that I was suppose to do in life. And it could have simply been to enjoy it, but I wasn't due to stress factors and problem I have brought upon myself. So I started setting goals... and accomplishing them.
