Couldn’t get to my weights class tonight & is looking as though that will be a rare occurrence due to my back problems.
So instead, there was Yoga!… Just what I needed! Don’t know where I got the energy from but I had the will! Only managed 30mins and that’s ok! The fact that I did & I feel good now is what its about!
Yoga is the answer to everything!

I really do miss my weights classes with the amazing @keza_h 😞

This is something I have told myself I should do for a very long time. I don’t know why I hadn’t started this sooner!
Yesterday I started writing in my journal after attending a yoga class I hadn’t been to for a while.
I’ve always had a lovehate relationship with yoga, mainly because I let my ego in. Expecting to be able to do all the poses anyone else can do, whilst forgetting that everyone is at different levels of ability and I have the added difficulty with my MS.
Because of my MS it means moving my legs in particular is very hard and slow! The more I repeat the exercise the more my muscles fatigue and the slower I get!
At this point yesterday I started to allow the #negativity in and then the self doubt. “I can’t do this” “I can’t do that” That’s when the tears roll and I know there’s no turning back. Negativity has hold of me!
I’m so grateful for my beautiful Yoga teacher & healthcoach @louiseavilesyoga I couldn’t need her in my life more than I do now!

If giving yourself a pep talk doesn’t do the job, that’s what your #support system is for! These come in the way of #family, #friends, #yoga #teachers, #health #coaches, etc, etc!
Always remember, its ok to reach out! Its ok to let others in!
Thank you Louise Yoga

There’s a reason why I’m so keen to get fitter!
Feeling pissed off that my body won’t let me!
How can I get on and enjoy my hobbies, aka yoga, Pilates, weights, when its so physically hard to move my body!
Yesterday I was prescribed antibiotics by my GP for another water infection, so today I’m prescribing some Yoga for myself!
Always always make time for you!
🙏❤💛💚💙💜
Feeling stuck again, i have never felt so low in energy before, feels like I’m drowning in my MS fatigue 😥
Alarm set for my self practice yoga in the morning, haven’t done any thing for a while. Just haven’t had the mojo for it, listening to my body, and she’s telling me she’s ready for the mat tomorrow. That’s if she wakes up in time! Maybe, maybe not, either way is good!!

This week is MS awareness week in the UK, something I am very aware of everyday as you can imagine!
MS has changed my life! I learn new things about my-self every day because of it. Some things I’m not keen on which is ok because at least I can spend time reflecting on the things I don’t like, as long as I’m not spending too much time on one thing because then it becomes unhealthy!
Its taken me along time to get to this point of acceptance, there is no end point to it though, something people may not know is how much MS can change from day to day, meaning everyday we may have to adapt and accept something new or even the return of an old symptom!
Our lives are never boring!
Yesterday was an amazing day! A day that I had been planning and working on for a long time!
Yesterday I took myself into the city of Coventry, its only just over 10 miles away, but for someone with extreme anxiety, this is an amazing thing to do!
I went to see this beautiful, kind & gentle soul, Holly Marie. So she could get creative and mark me with a beautiful image, that would forever remind me of what an incredible journey I am on.
The point I am at in my life now, feels so right! I feel as though, with the guidance of so many over the last 7 years (and more, even before my MS) I have started To unveil the real me and like a Lotus flower, I am blossoming!
What an epic LifeJourney!
Thank you for treating me so well yesterday Holly and I’ll see you in 2 weeks for my next symbolic image!
Living life the MegaSpecial way!
