Daily Practice: In the living room this morning from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. Did 5 Sun As, 5 Sun Bs, then went through all the standing, balancing and seated postures through Marichyasana. I did a couple of other stretches at the end and gave myself a short 2 minute savasana.
Daily Mediation: I sat for about 10 minutes this morning. Was interrupted in my meditation by a phone call and did not get back to it afterwards (I know I should have but I wanted to get on with my day). I usually use my cell phone's timer as my alert to come out of meditation but I forgot to put it on Airplane mode. Note to self to disable calls/texts so the only noise that emanates is the timer...
Daily Yoga Meal Record: I had a bowl of acorn squash soup and a serving of risotto with sweet potatoes, apples and kale from Good Earth. It was Andrew's day off of work and he texted me saying he would like to go out. It was around 3:30, so a late lunch. We had good conversation. Talked about cognizance/our first awareness of ourselves as children; not really sure what brought that up. We enjoyed a green tea together (Clouds and Mist blend) – he had a burger for lunch that had avocado, sprouts, tomato, an aioli sauce, lettuce and he nixed the gruyere cheese (dairy allergy). We took our time, did not over eat – I took home a large amount of risotto, it was a plentiful serving. There were no distractions and we did not talk while eating. I think it can be easier sometimes to enjoy a good meal with another person because when you're not rushed, you can take time to enjoy the beauty of the food and the conversation and not sacrifice/compromise one for the other.
Daily Gratitude: I am SO SO SO grateful today that I was issued an unemployment benefit check, I can be sure to pay my rent on time! I have been waiting about a month for approval and I am so grateful because this check will help me get by until I receive my first paycheck from my new job.
