Building new habits

in ecoTrain2 years ago (edited)

So my goal for 2022 has been structure. I am totally unstructured I tend to live my life in complete flow state. Since lockdown, that has become a bit too flow lol I’ve found myself getting up later, I’ve not been going to yoga or meditation classes and been finding it hard to get into practising mindfulness at home, been falling asleep later and just generally have less structure than I want lol. I also lost all my work over covid, which pushed my hand to change course but art proves to be even harder to find structure in. To actually treat it like a job that you apply yourself to improving and growing in every day. It’s much easier to be structured when you can tell people ‘ no I’m at work’.

Everything is about balance so 22 is about me trying to find that balance in everything. Between flow and structure, between socialising and working, between using the internet to promote my work and to learn and make connections whilst not letting it use me and being limited to an hour or so a day.

My friend was staying with me for the last few days and we did a kundalini class together and we made a pact to do the same Kriya for 40 days. Here is a post on why it’s important to do the class for 40 days to help build new healthier habits and why it is often suggested we practise that way.

I thought it might be a good idea to throw it out here too incase anyone feels drawn to join in and form a new habit. Sometimes it’s good to have a group of people to push you on. I’m on day 3 today :) perhaps we can comment how we are feeling and noting any changes. Let’s build a new habit togerher!

Yeah this one is a lot of stomach and thighs I was rly stiff todaya nd I lift weights haha

hehe I think I will try this out, all this is really not my thing I feel lazy participating in any of them, my brother does meditation every morning and also do invite me to join him but I feel lazy to do so hehe really don't know what is my problem. I will follow you in your kundalini class. I need these healthy habits as well. thanks.

Great idea to start this new year, and yes, we need to be in balance to reach optimum goals!

I'm sending you good vibes.👋

Take care, and have an amazing 2022!

Lol it’s not a stomach exercise it’s a kundalini yoga class it shifts your energy and is more of a meditation. I also do weights etc but I do that as a separate thing to yoga.

I did regular yoga for ten years and studied to teach but actually these days I am more drawn to kundalini and I enjoy it each to their own

Lol if you read I said I did 10 years of traditional yoga and recently got into kundalini yoga. I am surprised after so many years you still can’t message someone politely online. Have a nice day.

Maybe if you did some it might teach you to chill out a bit more and not make such aggressive comments. Not sure if it’s a language barrier.
