I get weekly emails from www.Goalcast.com that are inspirational and often times I use bits and pieces in Facebook posts or in conversations.

This article, written by Aimee Halpin, on August 22, 2017 caught my attention and I want to apply it to my life. (my Business life, my Personal life and my Recreational life.)

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.” Henry Ford

“Did you know that your brain believes what it hears on a regular basis? This is true especially if you say it out loud or even under your breath multiple times a day. If you say “I can’t do that,” your brain believes you and makes it come to pass in some area of your life.

As we begin to look at the way we are talking to ourselves, our beliefs start to change. The words that are red flags in our minds are things like: never, hate, won’t, can’t, and even always.

If we tell ourselves things in absolutes, we start to believe them… even if they aren’t true.

Shifting from Can’t to Can: 8 Practices to Put in Place Right Now

You can only lose what you cling to. – Buddha

I want you to think of an area where you are selling yourself short right now. Where do you tell yourself you can’t achieve a goal that would really make a difference in your life? Breathe. Pause. Reflect. I want you to visualize the negative words as balloons and you are now releasing them to the sky.

I am going to show you eight practices that you can put in place right now that will really help you make that shift from can’t to can. All you need to do is believe.

Become an observer of your thoughts. I get it. It’s a tough time, but before you share someone’s opinion or post a status using the words in absolutes, think about if you believe it. You are reinforcing an absolute behavior.
Instead of letting your thoughts and emotions run away with you, start to observe if what you are telling yourself is even true, and whether it is yours. Is it old karmic nonsense that you just have on autopilot playing in your head? Was it passed down?
Change your morning routine to include a positive affirmation: I am healing. I am living a life filled with abundance. You get to be in charge of the positives here.
Remember Winnie the Pooh? How Eeyore acted? Be an observer not only of your thoughts, but of what energy you are putting out there. Are you attracting more negative?
Appreciate the good in your life and celebrate the achievements. Small steps are better than none taken. As Mother Teresa said: “Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
I am a big believer in the science of brain-based healing. Studies have shown that thoughts alone can actually improve vision, fitness and strength. Brain chemistry and circuitry are constantly being re-wired as we shift to better thoughts.
When people consciously practice gratitude, they get a surge of rewarding neurotransmitters, like dopamine, and experience more illumination of the mind. If you don’t believe me, practice a gratitude ritual for 30 days and see how your life has changed in that time. It really changes your stress level.
I have seen epigenetics work in my own life. That means I am speaking to my genes with every thought I have. This is the part that might seem crazy, but the truth is that your biology doesn’t give you a reason to give up the fight. Epigenetics is showing that you really can change the way your body reacts and responds. Essentially, how genes are read by cells is actually changed by who you interact with and how you think and respond to life. It’s pretty powerful research.”

OK…. now a question may be “How do you apply this to YOUR life”?

When I first read this article all I could relate it to was my recent activity I just began. Bikram Yoga. Today is day 15…..15 classes in 15 days. Imagine that? When I first reviewed my Beginner’s Bikram book I literally panicked and my self-talk was very damaging. Phrases like you can’t do that, you won’t be able to, what are you crazy? etc. flooded my brain as well as flew out of my mouth. I had to apply some of the principles above….and each day I began to believe in my abilities over my initial self talk. One day at a time!

Sometimes in business I feel my goals are very ‘aggressive’. The goals and numbers often seem impossible to reach as well as the income projections we strive to reach sometimes seem inobtainable- but once again I tell myself- “many people have reached those goals- so why not me? Yes, you can do it too!”

As for our business with TAVALA and products we represent it is interesting that I did a poll not long ago with a group that I called my “test case”. Those that received the best results with our flagship product TAVALA TRIM were those who went into their daily usage with a positive mind and without skepticism. They believed the TRIM would work and they were open to the changes. Those who were what I call “Debbie Doubters…or Debbie Downers” fit into another category. They got mediocre results in comparison to the positive minded group and many claimed they just could not get themselves to remember to drink the one ‘thermogenic’ drink daily.

I began doing Bikram Yoga 12 days ago (at age 60) and wondered today, “What if I had embraced it while I was going through menopause?” After all, many of the yoga poses truly do work on your organs that regulate and balance hormones, as well as your muscles, tendons, and arteries.So….I decided to see what I could find regarding how yoga, (Bikram in particular) can help with hormonal regulation. I found this article, written by Eleanor McKenzie.When I was going through menopause in my mid-50’s I discovered an amazing ‘PATCH LIKE’ product

that when worn on the skin, offers quantum energy to the body. Today they are called Quantum Relief Strips www.DaveandJoy.comand are exclusive to a company called Tavala.These thin strips are made of synthetic silk and look like Band-aids with the letter Q on them. I remember that they helped balance my body, my chi and Chakras, and eventually my hormones so that my body came into balance. When it did- BAM, no more hot flashes or night sweats!

Flash forward to Bikram Yoga and how it can help women during hormonal shifts, menopause in particular.

On average, women experience menopause around age 51. (For me it was around 54 or 55) Some women hit menopause at a much younger age and have to cope with the physical and emotional impact of early menopause. Bikram yoga offers women help with the symptoms accompanying the hormonal changes — if you can stand being in a hot room when you have a hot flash.

Medical Support for Yoga

Doctors Charles Hammond and Lori Bastian at Duke University, and the menopause expert, Dr. Christiane Northrup give the thumbs-up to yoga for women with menopausal symptoms. All agree that it can balance hormones, reduce feelings of anxiety or depression, help you to sleep better, and it can help control hot flashes, which for many women is the most distressing symptom.

Dr. Bastian suggests that yoga also helps support women who are going through the menopause without using hormone replacement therapy, or those women who are trying to stop taking HRT.

Bikram Benefits

Bikram yoga, performed in a room heated to 105 degrees Fahrenheit, may not seem an obvious choice for a menopausal woman, but Dr. Northrup suggests that if the heat is bearable then this form of yoga can help you stretch your muscles, a sentiment Bikram yoga instructors agree with.

She also points out that yoga helps stabilize your weight, reduces blood pressure and increases your overall fitness, making it easier for you to cope with the wide ranging number of menopause symptoms. Love To Know Yoga reports that some menopausal women love the rapid detoxification process Bikram provides, although it does warn that the heat of the room may be unsuitable for anyone experiencing regular hot flashes.

Bikram Yoga and Osteoporosis Study

Osteoporosis, or thinning of the bones, is a significant problem for a number of menopausal women, so the weight-bearing, but low impact, yoga postures are an aid to maintaining bone density. A 2010 study published in the scientific journal “Chinese Medicine” on the effects of Bikram yoga on osteoporosis and bone mineral density showed encouraging results for menopausal women. The study participants — a group of pre-menopausal women — took Bikram classes three times a week for three years. Bone scans were taken at the beginning and end of the study period. The results showed that the women had a bone mineral density above the average expected for healthy women of a comparable age who had not practiced Bikram yoga.

Bikram Yoga Considerations

According to Bikram Choudhury, if you do his yoga for 60 days it will totally transform your body, your mind and your life. However, before signing up for a Bikram class there are a few points to consider. If you have diabetes, cardiovascular or respiratory problems you might find that Bikram is too hot and too strenuous for you. If you have any of these conditions you should consult your doctor, and talk to a qualified Bikram instructor, before starting classes. Also, if you haven’t exercised for some time, you may find the Bikram yoga style too demanding for a beginner, and you may prefer a less strenuous Hatha yoga class.

If you do choose a Bikram class, stay well hydrated and alert the teacher if you experience discomfort, such as hot flashes.

So there you go…a potentially powerful way for women to take control of their body, their hormones and get mega health benefits. I am not sure I would have been open to Bikram Yoga back when I was going through menopause- I was more into the weight training fitness programs like P90X which both Dave and I did together twice, back to back. 180 days- wow!

Joy’s Suggestions:

If you are experiencing hormonal shifts/changes in your life (whether it is menopause or not) I suggest giving Bikram yoga a try. Also use the Quantum Relief Strips, placed below your belly on the Dan Tien. The strips will help balance your body’s energy, chi, Chakras etc. and allow your body to reach a peaceful, comfortable place where it can self-regulate what it needs.

Give the Quantum Relief Strips time to work….especially on hormones. I don’t recall if it was in my first 28-days or 2nd month using them when I began to notice tremendous benefits!

Aren’t our bodies miracles?

How Many Calories Get Burned During Bikram Yoga?

Today I was curious about how many calories I burn daily doing 90 minutes of Bikram Yoga… so did a little research. I read several articles and got various numbers so I won’t quote any in particular, but I did like this particular article I read and thought I’d pass it along. This article is written by Benna Crawford.

Hot yoga classes are hot exercise choices for increasing numbers of fitness buffs. The combination of challenging sequences and serious sweating makes them an attractive option for a weight-loss program.

Bikram yoga is synonymous with the style of yoga practiced in a heated, humidity-controlled studio designed to induce sweating while focusing on a standard asana routine. But weight loss equals calories expended, so it’s worth knowing just how Bikram stacks up against other calorie-burning exercise programs.

Counting Calories

Weight loss follows a simple algorithm: fewer calories consumed than calories expended. The Mayo Clinic points out that each pound is worth about 3,500 calories, so if you carry a calorie deficit of 500 calories a day, you can lose a pound a week.

Burning those calories is where it gets complicated. Aerobic activity that challenges the cardiovascular system is the number one calorie burner.

Low- to moderate-intensity aerobic activity, like most yoga routines, burns a high percentage of fat as fuel. Increase intensity with exercise like sprinting — or a demanding yoga routine — and you draw on greater amounts of carbs and protein for fuel. But high-intensity exercise burns more calories overall, so the tougher your workout, the more you lose. Building muscle mass through strength training also cuts calories because even resting muscle burns fuel for energy.

High-intensity yoga provides a vigorous cardio and resistance workout.

Bikram Protocols

Bikram’s hot yoga requires a series of 26 fixed poses, performed under the guidance of a trained instructor in a heated studio.

The poses are traditional Hatha yoga moves, but the performance is a kind of yoga boot camp. The room is heated to approximately 104 to 105 degrees F with a constant 40-percent humidity. During the 90-minute class, participants typically run through the routine twice. Bikram’s website claims that the heated studios quickly warm muscles and increase flexibility so you can work safely with a greater range of motion. You will sweat, so you will notice a water weight loss which does not translate directly to fat calories burned. But you work hard — a Bikram class is challenging enough to be an aerobic workout — and yoga poses use body weight for resistance, so you do some muscle building and high-intensity calorie burning.

Bikram Calorie Burn

Bikram yoga burns more calories than many other forms of exercise and yoga styles. According to Everyday Health’s Yoga Calorie Counter, a 160-pound person performing Bikram yoga for one hour uses 726 calories, compared to 508 calories for Ashtanga and Power yoga classes.

Most Bikram classes are 90 minutes, so the calories burned per session are 1,089 for Bikram versus 762 for other intense yogas. The Mayo Clinic calculates the caloric cost to a 160-pound individual for one hour of high-impact aerobics at 533 calories. For singles tennis, the cost is 584 calories, for swimming laps 423 calories and for stair treadmill 657 calories. As a bonus, yoga’s ability to reduce stress and increase fitness improves your chances of sticking to a diet.

Precautions

Bikram yoga is not for everyone. Hypertension, glaucoma, pregnancy, some forms of osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease are all reasons to check in with your doctor before signing up for a hot yoga class.

If you do add Bikram to your calorie-burning strategies, drink plenty of water to counter the effects of vigorous exercise in a hot room. As the exercise boosts your metabolism you sweat more to maintain a healthy core temperature. In a hot studio with other sweaty bodies, your evaporation system has to work harder to release the extra heat. If you experience weakness, fatigue, dizziness or headache in a hot yoga class, you could be in danger of heat exhaustion or heat stroke and you should seek immediate medical attention. end of article.

So there you go. What I gained from this article for ME is Bikram Yoga good for me at this stage in my life. Today was day 12 doing Bikram in a row.

They say give Bikram 30-days will change your body and 60-days will change your life! Two weeks ago I was nursing a tennis elbow. I couldn’t play tennis due to the pain and working out at the gym had its limitations as well.

I sat quietly and asked my body what it needed and heard a rather loud “Whisper” : “Bikram Yoga”. Really???? I don’t even like yoga. But I listened and here I am enjoying the many benefits of Bikram Yoga.

Although I have NO IDEA if I have lost a pound on the scale, I do know that already my clothes are fitting better AND my flexibility and balance have improved a lot!

If you are stuck in a fitness routine that may no longer be serving you like I was consider sitting quiet and asking your body what it needs to keep you healthy and fit. You may be surprised that it is a new exercise program that you never would have imagined on your own.

Two products that seem to be supporting my new fitness activity are electrolytes to replenish the minerals I lose in sweat, and Quantum Relief Strips for balance, chi, energy to my body.

I’d love to hear from you. Do YOU like Bikram Yoga? Have you ever done 30 days in a row? Did you get fit, more flexible and lose body fat doing Bikram Yoga?

TAVALA TRIM

Thermogenic “Energy” Drink!

I LOVE doing my own random ‘test cases’ around a product. It’s a great way to compare notes and to assess if, for the average person, the product actually delivers what it claims to deliver. I decided to do this with Tavala’s flagship product called TRIM.

So I gathered around a dozen or more ‘subjects’ over the past several months and asked them to TRY the TAVALA TRIM drink and do NOTHING else different.

Simply drink the TAVALA TRIM drink each and every morning. Do not intentionally ‘diet’, reduce calories, begin working out or change their daily routine.

They all agreed. The cool thing is this was a mix of men and women of various ages and each of them wanted to lose some weight and to have more energy.

After 7-days I made an observation. Everyone, even the skeptical ‘Trim-Users’ had lost weight and claimed they had more lasting energy throughout the day. It didn’t matter the amount of weight that they ‘needed’ to lose, some on the slimmer side lost more weight and some of the chubbier subjects lost less.

The people who lost the MOST weight were those who were more open minded and less skeptical. They believed that the TRIM would deliver the results it promises. This proves the mind is very powerful.

The Benefits of Tavala Trim are:

More Energy and Focus/ Suppresses Appetite and less cravings/Boosts the Metabolism

Here is what happened:

The average person dropped 7 lbs. in just 7 days. Three of the people lost 10-12 lbs. When they showed their before and after pictures it looked like they had lost MORE weight than they said, as the weight appeared to be more “fat weight” and we know that FAT takes up more space than muscle.

Tavala has created a complete GUIDE to get the best possible results with TAVALA TRIM. Request your copy here. info@DaveandJoy.com

Tavala has also added a companion product, called CONTROL, that works hand in hand with the TRIM to attack weight loss at all angles and also to avoid those dreaded weight loss plateaus. Try both together for BEST results.

Are YOU ready to begin TAVALA TRIM / or TRIM & CONTROL?

It’s easy. Simply go to www.DaveandJoy.com and place your order. The price for a customer is the same as a member. Becoming a member is FREE and you can earn money by sharing.

Need some help placing your first order? Give us a call at 802-846-7530. We’re here to make it easy and to help you begin your TAVALA EXPERIENCE. We’re confident you’ll love the product and the fast delivery of your product.

Today I enjoyed a little more time than usual before getting out of bed. My body needed the additional rest and we had decided to do our Bikram Yoga class at noon, rather than 9 am. Luckily I looked at my cell phone around 8 am and saw a message from the owner of the yoga studio. “There are only noon classes on MWF.”

“Oh, Okay”. We quickly adjusted our mindset and our plans and decided to go to the 9 am class. Isn’t it nice to be flexible in your thinking and in your schedule?

Isn’t it terrific to be your own boss and have flex time to go and workout and do things when you want without asking for time off? or living someone else’s schedule?

I can’t even imagine having a boss other than myself. Time flexibility is important in my life and has been for decades.

So, one of the ways we enjoy our early morning time is by visualizing, meditating, journal writing and setting the stage for a powerful day. When we take the time to do those things it ALWAYS helps bring out the best that any day can offer. We always begin our days with Gratitude as well. Gratitude IS the best Attitude!

One thing we watched this morning before Bikram was Oprah Winfrey’s inspiring words. It is worth watching, I guarantee!

Day 9 for me (Day 2 for Dave)- doing Bikram yoga… so proud I haven’t missed a day since joining. I’m proud of myself because it takes time and lots of energy to do a 90-min. yoga workout in 105 degree heat…. and have the energy and stamina to go on and also have an impactful day helping others on our team.

Each day, like anything else, seems to get a little easier. Still hard, because doing it the RIGHT WAY is the challenge. No short cuts with Bikram and doing it correctly yields the best therapeutic benefits.

Body image….hmmmm, I have to work on this one. When I had a tight, lean body with 12-17% body fat I was proud to show my mid-section but since menopause I have been embarrassed as I literally grew a ‘men-o-pot’. I know I need to get over it and will. I have promised myself…. especially after today, as the cotton tank top that I was wearing was drenched to the core and just weighed me down.

I read in the Bikram book to stay off the scale and I think it is a good idea. But, you think I listened? I rarely weigh myself but thought with all the sweating I’d certainly drop at least a pound or two a day. Not necessarily! Day 2 I was down 2 lbs. and then today up 3. So no scale for me. I did however try on my one and only pair of jeans that I call my “tester jeans” and noticed that not only can I zip them up, they are ‘wearable’. Good sign.

My reasons to begin BIKRAM YOGA: #1 reason is Therapeutic exercise for flexibility and longevity in life. (avoid injuries and stiffness as I age)

My #2 reason is to get in ‘shape’…. both mentally and physically. Yes, this means improved focus and drive in life but I really would like to get back to my pre-menopausal size.

Yes, dropping 15 lbs. and leaning out around the belly is HIGH on my list, I won’t lie! Weight lifting, walking and tennis were not working and I have been nursing a tennis elbow, so I am hoping that Bikram will help heal that injury and prevent others.

Once again, armed with the right tools for getting the best results. Electrolytes in my cold water to sip on throughout the session, a full Quantum Relief Strip below the belly button. Those QRS are amazing as they truly do help bring energy to the places needed most in the body. Don’t know where “those places are”- no worries, the body is intelligent and will attract energy to the parts of the body needed most. Similar to Reiki energy.

Are you practicing Bikram or are you involved in a form of exercised that is feeding your body and your soul? If so, I’d love to hear about it. When we take care of our physical body we also fill up our ’emotional and spiritual’ body which I call the ultimate Self-Care!!!!

Sweat is FAT CRYING. I feel like I am cleaning out the old and breathing in the new. Thank God I listened to my body 10 days ago when I heard the ‘whisper’ to do Bikram Yoga.

Quantum Relief Strips–

A natural “Topical Strip” product that brings energy to the parts of the body that needs it most! Our bodies have an amazing intelligence if given the right raw materials.

It doesn’t matter if you are young or old – a man or a woman, if you are alive and breathing you can benefit from the new upgraded Quantum Strips that Dr. Min Soo Kim has perfected.

The formulator, or creator, Dr. Min Soo Kim from South Korea calls the Quantum Relief Strips his latest technology and claims that they are 5x more potent than his former ‘Pain Strip’! (But don’t take my word for it, get your sample here http://tryoursamples.com/ or order direct at www.DaveandJoy.com.)

Since we are all energy beings, keeping the flow of positive energy “flowing” in our body is beneficial and keeps us healthy, energetic and dis-ease free.

From the top of your head to the bottom of your feet you can apply the QR Strips and bring positive energy to those areas- speeding recovery, healing, blood flow…balancing the Chi and Chakras and more.

Here is a photo of a back BEFORE a Strip with Quantum Energy was applied and then after. Notice the difference in energy and blood flow.

From Head to Toe: Ways I have personally used the Quantum Relief Strips to give me energy and relief. Head to Toe.

Head: Small pieces the size of a postage stamp on my temples for a tension headache. Tension melted, no pain medication needed.

Face: I had a small ‘sun spot’ on the side of my nose. Placed a tiny piece of QRS on it and within 4 days the lesion looking spot was gone and has not returned in 6 months.

Neck: Put a small QRS on the back of my neck for a stiff neck. Noticed more mobility within an hour.

Shoulder: For days my upper trap area hurt due to sleeping ‘wrong’. Placed 1/2 QRS on both the front and back shoulder area and the tension released. Was able to sleep on my stomach with no tension or discomfort.

Chest: Small skin spot/skin tag. Placed a tiny piece of QRS on it. Within a week it was GONE!

Elbow: Tennis Elbow- yes, I over did it on the tennis court as well as with computer work. I cut a QRS and placed 1/2 in the elbow area and 1/2 near the carpal/wrist area. Relief within hours. This is a place I have been ‘nursing’ for the past 2 wks. and it appears to be healing nicely.

Abdomen: My go-to spot for the Quantum Relief Strips is below my belly button on the Dan Tian. Helps balance the energy, internal organs and keeps my digestion working optimally. Side benefit – an old C-Section scar is now smaller and smoother. WOW!

Legs: Tension and stiffness in my legs from doing Bikram Yoga. QRS on the knee area (above and below) It adhered and actually I believe that the Quantum Relief Strips helped me with balance in yoga too.

Feet: Too much walking and my poor feet were aching, especially around the ‘bunion’ area. I placed a 1/4 QRS on each foot and the throbbing went away. Also a small piece of QRS around my achilles helps with flexibility. Years ago I injured both and they have always been tight ever since. The QRS helps.

Bottom of the Feet: The bottom of the feet are another “go to” place for the Quantum Relief Strips. Think reflexology!!!!

So as you can see, I love the Quantum Relief Strips and think that everyone can benefit from the benefits.

Never in a million years did I expect this to happen! I made a decision to do Bikram Yoga based on my intuition. A week ago I spoke to my body and soul, asked what it needed -as clearly things were not going in my favor (injuries, fatigue) and I HEARD BIKRAM YOGA loud and clear. I wanted to ignore it but I could not. Besides, what sense is it for you to ask- get a clear answer- and then ignore it?

Dave and I work together- we have a business together in network marketing….we are husband and wife and have a very satisfying and easy relationship. It is not work- it comes with ‘ease’. We have created an amazing business with TAVALA that is surpassing my wildest dreams with successes- we are ‘in the flow’.

6 years ago we decided to do P90X together. That is a 90 day commitment to push play with a DVD series and give our all with that Beach Body program. 6 days a week, weights, cardio and 1 day of yoga. (The only day we didn’t like was Thursdays as that was 90-minute of yoga ‘hell’ as Dave called it.)

We did it, and it was very gratifying program doing together. At that time we were both personal trainers and it felt terrific to be trained by someone else and simply follow instruction and give it our all…doing the best we could each and every workout. In that program our instructor was the famous “Beach Body icon” Mr. Tony Horton.

This past week has been a strange week on one hand as Dave and I usually go to the gym and workout with weights together or play tennis.

This past week we did our ‘own thing’….and here is where it gets crazy! I did mention to Dave that he may want to consider doing Bikram with me to experience what I am experiencing. Detox, Stretching, Balance, Strength- both inner and outer, and functional fitness for the body, the mind and the spirit.

HE WANTED NOTHING TO DO WITH IT…..but on his own, going a full 360 degrees, today August 28th, Dave DeBerardinis CHOSE to begin Bikram Yoga. I had seen him pick up my Bikram book and start reading it but I NEVER expected this to happen.

So….. today was day 8 for me and day 1 for Dave.

It was FUN to experience this together. For day ONE, he rocked it and endured the 90-minute experience in 105 heated room with 40% humidity.

It’s fun to push yourself both physically and spiritually.

Heck with a bottle of TRIM drink for energy and Quantum Relief Strips for any ‘pain’ or discomfort you may have, anything is possible. They are our ‘go to products of choice’.

Are you ready to push YOUR body to another level? Looking for health related products, a business opportunity, or an experience that may lead you to the person you were destined to be? If so, we’d love to hear from you.

By the way, did you know that sweat is just fat crying? With every drop of sweat I experience while doing Bikram I feel more cleansed and clear. I have also begun to notice my body shape shifting, especially in the abs, buttocks and thighs. Hallelujah. (Who knows? Maybe tomorrow I’ll actually forgo the tank top shirt and wear just a jog bra like the majority of other women do in class. yikes!) That would mean I’m definitely on the right track on improving my self image!

Today is Day 6 today…. Is it true what they say that the more you do something each and every day, the easier it is to become a habit? I am pleasantly surprising myself with my new habit of 90 minutes of Bikram Yoga daily- but that is the kind of person I am once I make a decision.

Whoever said it was going to get easier as time goes on was inaccurate with my 6th day of Bikram. I am not sure but I felt more exhausted than days 1 and 2. I think my body needed a break…. my muscles and tendons, etc. had been taxed thoroughly the 5 days prior and I simply had not recovered enough. BUT YOGA is your ‘own practice’ so you DO what you can and do it right and you STILL receive the benefits.

BE-DO-HAVE… BE in harmony with yourself and intentions, DO-whatever it takes…HAVE the results you are looking to attain. In my case, it is a healthy, limber, strong and lean body! I want to age gracefully!

True, day 6 was very physically (not so much mentally) tough, even keeping my arms straight and to the front or to the sides took a lot of effort.

When I left the yoga studio my husband looked at me and thought he’d literally have to carry me to the car. I was POOPED beyond pooped. I had NO EXTRA energy to draw from. My body was depleted….

That is OK. I did it, felt like my own HERO or should I say “Shero“.SHE/HERO….

I hydrated myself after I got home and ate a huge bown of chilled watermelon. Watermelon never tasted so good in my life!

I promised myself to take it easy for the rest of the day to rejuvenate my muscles and be strong for Sunday, my 7th day in a row. As it turns out, Dave and I played a little tennis later in the afternoon- which was good for two reasons. 1) cardio 2) to confirm that Bikram Yoga is what I am supposed to be doing. Tennis HURT MY ELBOW, which was beginning to heal with yoga. hmmmm.

DAY 7-
I was excited for the day and for Bikram Yoga. I KNEW from when I woke up that my experience would be different and more energized than yesterday. Heck, when I lift weights at the gym, some days I am far stronger than others. Same here with Bikram Yoga.

By the way I highly recommend trying this form of yoga – it is not only a physical but it is a spiritual experience.

One week ago today I went into the studio after the morning class to see if I wanted to begin Bikram on Monday. Both Jess and Alex were there and welcomed me. I then emailed the owner Marla to introduce myself. By having a positive experience with staff from ‘before day 1’ made a difference for me as I was more than nervous to take up Bikram. I was downright petrified! I highly recommend Queen City Bikram Yoga. Thus far, I have experienced 4 different instructors in the 7 classes and they are all wonderful!

Today was a wonderful class. Was it challenging? Heck yeah, but I love a challenge!

Was it therapeutic? You bet. My tennis elbow has improved considerably since working with these stretches and poses.

I put on a new Quantum Relief Strip again today and I really do believe it helps with balance and bringing energy to the parts of my body needed most. For me, it is the right forearm, right elbow and the dan tien area below the belly button.

Am I going to continue? You bet. Next Saturday, due to a previous schedule, I won’t be able to do class so I may double up on Friday….we’ll see.

My goal, is day to day, I’ll decide- but ideally 30 classes in 30 days. As long as I don’t let myself down I am happy.

If you take Bikram Yoga I’d love to hear from you. Does it continue to challenge you but also give you rewards that you couldn’t see on days 1-7?

I am blessed that I work for myself (Thank you TAVALA) and can take Bikram yoga whenever I wish. Luckily at Queen City Bikram Yoga there are many options with times. This past week I did all the classes at 9 am but may change it up this week.

Feeling blessed!

I wrote a blog yesterday explaining how I LISTENED to my intuitive ‘inner self’ and as a result am now fully engaged in a commitment to do Bikram Yoga- for at least 30 days.

Day 4

I’m not going to lie…. I am exhausted today. It’s interesting how I can go to the gym, lift weights, play tennis etc. and not have the kind of fatigue I am feeling at this moment….but I am not complaining, it is a ‘good feeling of fatigue’, not a bad one.

When I woke up today I thought if I were still body building like when I was a competitive body builder at age 30, (incidentally- that was 30 years ago) I would definitely have taken the day off.

You need a day to rest, yes? Upper body one day, lower the next or back and biceps, chest and triceps, etc. This way you have a day for recovery.

I have not found what to do to fully recover from 90 minutes of Bikram yoga, other than to take it easy, stay hydrated and eat healthy foods before repeating it all over again the following day. Heck maybe what I am experiencing- besides the dumping of and elimination of toxins is that I have not stretched my muscles, my ligaments, my arteries or my body like this in a very LONG time!!!!

Approximately 6 years ago my husband and I did P90X….. which incidentally in many ways is easier than what I am currently experiencing. Every Thursday during that 90-Day program we did 90 minutes of “Tony Horton’s yoga”. Dave called it “Yoga from HELL” as it was tough….but I have to say the benefits outweighed our dislike of that yoga routine. Bikram is far better!!!!

Having been a personal trainer I remember how much I enjoyed doing the Beach Body P90X program because all you had to do was show up and push play. I was not training anyone, I was BEING trained. If you followed the instruction with good effort and form, you get results. It was nice being trained rather than being the ‘trainer’.

The instruction is one of the best things I like about Bikram Yoga. If I can just GET THERE and follow instructions and give it my best, I will receive the benefits.

In all honesty there is no room to have a big belly or muffin top when doing any kind of exercise, but especially with yoga. The belly simply gets in the way!!!! I feel like my waist is already a little smaller in just 4 days. Could that be possible?

Day 4 ‘down’…another fantastic instructor at Queen City Bikram Yoga today! Alex was great! I am impressed.

To bed early tonight, 8 pm. I’ll apply new Quantum Strips on my arm and on my dan tien area tomorrow. I know it helps. Also I’ll add some of the TAVALA TRIM (drink that is a metabolism booster, gives you energy and focus, suppresses the appetite and helps you lose body fat!

Day 5

I actually thought of getting up and doing the 6:30 am class today but I just couldn’t get myself going. I am listening to my body. GREAT class at 9:00 am. Another great instructor, Stacie….I continue to be impressed with Queen City Bikram Yoga.

Bikram yoga is therapeutic~ there were a couple of gals there today who chose Bikram over traditional physical therapy post-injuries or accidents. Their doctors are impressed with their recovery and things that they are now capable of doing that they were told they would not be able to do again. That keeps me going. Yes, therapy…. exactly what I want. Something more than just the physical.

Sweating toxins from the body has made my mind and body clear and cleaner in thought. I am more deliberate in my thoughts and actions. I like the new shift occurring.

Five Days Straight doing Bikram Yoga. I am proud of myself! But I am most proud of myself for both ASKING and then LISTENING to what my body, mind and spirit needed!

Yes I show up each day and honestly do my best, but if I didn’t know WHY I was doing it I doubt I’d have the inner motivation or drive. In some ways it is like business….once you find your WHY or reason you want to accomplish something and connect it with your ‘sweet spot – it comes to fruition.

In the past month Dave and I have accomplished what few have accomplished with Tavala, the company that has the Quantum Relief Strips I talk about wearing on my body.

We’ve accomplished a whole new level of success and several things have opened up… and I believe there are many reasons. One reason I believe is that we now are looking outside OUR own personal success, /and what we can gain from more abundance which creates room for others growth and success.

Another thing we have begun to do is to donate a portion of all our customer sales to WEA, an organization “Women’s Earth Alliance”. I am so moved with what this organization is doing to help women (children and families as a results) all around the globe. http://womensearthalliance.org/

I’d love to hear from you if you have ASKED your own body what it needs and actually LISTENED to what you heard.

Did you like the answer or fight it like I did? We are wise and yet the wisdom of our bodies is far wiser than our minds.
