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!!

Picture is my own with a inspirational quote by Alan Alda, words are my own
“When people ask me why am I so positive, I simply reply why not?” – Vix Edwards
I try to lift weights once a week
I try to practice Pilates 3 times a week
I try to practice Yoga almost everyday
I also have ms every single day but i don’t have to try with that one!
MS isn’t easy, there’s something different every day, but this doesn’t stop me living my life the fullest that I can!
I do my best to stay positive, which is where my exercise comes into play.
Negativity is soul draining and exceptionally hard for me to get out of when it has me! I should imagine this is the same for anyone that has ever had a low mood day!
Imagine a tree, at the top of it is where the positivity is & this is where I aim to start my day!
Lets say I wake up and its a beautiful day, sun shining, birds are singing, and I’m at the highest point of my positivity.
I sit up in bed and as I move my legs, my right leg is a little stiff. Hmm, that’s ok, I can handle that, except for when I start to walk out of the bedroom and I have to drag my leg, this knocks me down in my positivity.
So now, I’m no longer at the top of the tree. Now I’m on the branch below where I started, but thats ok, because I was at the top when I started my day, I am still closer to being at my most positive than my most negative & because I try to always see the positive in things, I should be able to get back to the top fairly quickly.
Remember though, I said this isn’t easy! Sometimes we come across things in life that will test us, sometimes we think we are going to break and never be the same person ever again. I’ve been there! Not just with my health, so I know how hard positivity can be, I’m not the same person, no, I use these experience’s as lessons and I grow from them!
When there’s only 2 choice’s, positivity & negaticity, I know which one I’d rather make!
“Train your mind to see the good in everything. Positivity is a choice. The happiness of your life depends on your thoughts.” – Marcandangel
So ready for another incredible 1:1 with the lovely Denise Walters
Make time for yourself today to make for a better tomorrow!
Feel like the luckiest girly alive to have 3 beautiful Yoga teachers!
The thing that amazes me & I find hard to believe is how lovely & supportive these beautiful humans are about me having 3 different teachers!
There’s no animosity, no acrimony, resentment nor spite!
All the yums! π½π ππ½πΆπ
The difference in my lunch choice when I don’t go to Yoga, Pilates classes in the morning is immense!
My fatigue is still bad but far less than when I’ve exercised!
I can think a little clearer & listen to my body, so I can make better choices of what to have & what my body wants!
I know its appears to be a simple salad, but nothing is simple when you have 2 chronic illnesses!
I could have had some mixed beans with my salad but unfortunately, I have only just remembered them & my lunch is now in my tummy! π€
This lunch is nothing compared to when my DebbieRahRah is here, but it makes me proud to know that I created it on my own!

I always get great satisfaction when I get up early for my own yoga practice. This mornings practise was so beautiful & very energising!
Absolutely loving my Himalayan crystal salt rock candle holder from my gorgeous sister Sarah Charlesworth for my birthday! Thank you, the energy from it is so wonderful!
Shoulder strengthening yesterday in my own yoga flow!
Obviously the speed of this has been increased & you’ll notice at one point when attempting a side plank, I forgot which side I had already done! π Oh this MeSsy brain of mine π
Had a really good short weights & yoga home workout today, but the pain is so real!
Trying so hard to focus on the present and not the past!
This journey is for now, I wasn’t ready to be on it years ago!
Positive note: when I watched the video back for the first time in a long time, I thought to myself “damn, you look GOOD!”
So happy that my confidence is back with my Yoga practice!
Thanks to that of my Yoga bestie for helping me even when she doesn’t know that she has!
And thanks to yoga for teaching me how to still my mind, how to open my heart, for teaching me how to be brave and how to see light in every dark situation.
And so, the journey continues!

Excited & anxious all at the same time! This morning I am off to my 2nd Yoga workshop, this time it’s with another of my beautiful Yoga teachers, Denise – @smallworldyogi!
I really am amazing myself with how far I’ve come on this journey, not just my Yoga journey but my life journey! Thanks to my yoga I am more open to learning new things about myself, my confidence to travel further and go to new places on my own has to be one of the most noticeable things for me! I would never have even dreamt of doing this a year ago!
From reading that, you might be wondering “travel further, where is she going for this workshop?”
Well, its only just over 6 miles away but its an area I’m not used to driving to and last time me & my yoga bestie attempted to go to Denise’s class, we got lost!
So, because of that, and because I’ll be on my own, I’ve given myself added pressure and anxiety where it isn’t needed!
I could ask for my DebbieRahRah to take me but this is something I have to do and I can do it!
