The mantra for day 5 was I am alive. This mantra came on a day that brought sad news, but keeping that in my mind made my mantra ever more important. The news made the importance of feeling alive and living life to the fullest ever more important. So I determined to bring that idea with me throughout my whole day, remaining present and appreciative. I was determined to try to see the light and the joy in being alive. Yoga is one of those things that calms me down, and makes me feel alive. My body is alive and moving. It has awakened my mind and body.
The mantra for day 6 was I feel supported. Day 6 was a more targeted workout for the abdominals. I work these every day in a short session after yoga, so it was relatively easy, but the mantra was still very important to me. I have a hard time with my neck with abdominal exercises, and it was nice to slow down and focus on supporting my neck. It is important to have good form and not to push anything.
I am very happy with how the yoga is going.
