#12 PMA- Positive Mental Attitude

I have had a tough time doing Hatha the past couple of Sunday's and it really kinda bothered me. I have been having amazing Friday night Hatha classes and just could not figure out what was going on Sunday's? I remembered way back in my memory vault to a PE teacher (Mr Dunbar) I had in 7th grade who use to always preach PMA. Today I thought to myself going into class today I was going to think very positive and change this around. I took a little extra time stretching and loosening up before I really got into my core and balance positions. I rocked it today!!   I just kept telling myself I can do it and actually mentally did them before I even attempted them and did them successfully. Christiana always preaches being positive and doing your own thing to your abilities. I really took this all to heart today. 

Since I have started this hot yoga adventure I have felt more confident daily and just seem to be happier. My body feels better and I just am a better person in my opinion. I wish I would have started hot yoga years ago. If I had only known the result of doing this I probably would have started this while I use to play a lot of sports. Who knows what would have happened? NFL? MLS? I could have been a superstar? ha ha ha. Ok OK so I may be getting a bit carried away. I just can't stress enough how amazing this journey has made me feel and I am beyond exited to see where it takes me. If you have not tried hot yoga, please put down your Pokemon Go or your TV remote or whatever else you use an excuse and get out there and try it. I promise you that you will be a better person. No more excuses. I am going to do a post soon on all the excuses that I have discussed with other before or after class.

Today I had one fellow yoga person come up and introduce herself to me. Hi Carrie :) I love that people who read my blog are coming up and saying hi. It motivates me even more to do hot yoga and to continue to write these blogs. If I can inspire more people to do hot yoga then I have achieved part of my goal for writing these blogs. Everyone I have met in class has been so nice and positive. Random strangers in class help put my blocks away that we use sometimes without even asking. Everyone smiles and is so kind.  Thank you to everyone I have not had a chance to thank. I appreciate people saying hello and saying they love reading my blog. 

Keep smiling and stay positive

Namaste
