Yin and Yang

Life is a flow of yin and yang

Sometimes we flow softly

Other times more forcefully,

Yet ultimately

It’s the interflow

The balance of both,

That allows you to be all you can be

Where two become one,

Three is the ultimate

The hard and the soft;

The flow in between

Joining together;

For ultimate being 💕🙏

~ M. L Adams

The way of the tao, the balance of yin and yang, allows you to find your way with balance and ease. Have a great week 🙏

Riding the waves

In life there are many waves, how do you stay aligned through them all?

The following I have found to be useful, I hope you can find some inspiration that may help guide your sail too.

• Stay true to yourself throughout

• Keep your focus on your purpose

• See the good in all

• Be from your heart

• Love what you do

• Go with what is

• Trust within

By following your inner guide it will help you to stay aligned with what ever happens on the outside. Always listen within and trust in it, ride the waves, find your way and rise🙏💛🌊

Movement as Expression

One of the most fundamental benefits of a movement practice, is the ability for it to be an avenue for self expression.

Although our movement practices may be similar once we have our foundational movement patterns we can begin to express ourselves individually from the most deepest level.

So often when doing so, we can then also discover new movement patterns that we may not have done or even thought to have done previously.

This way of expression in movement can bring the most beautiful sense of freedom just as in any form of art. You can combine it with music and bring all your creativity and passion forward into it. If you haven’t already done so, give it a try. It’s a great way to play and experiment also.

Trust in your flow and express yourself freely 🙏💫

Staying on Purpose

We all start out with a purpose

Keep staying on purpose

Let all distractions fall away

Keep your focused gaze 🙏🌟

~ M. L Adams

A little motivation for today and everyday.

Today’s world can be full of distractions but ultimately we decide our point of focus.

Stay focused, stay on purpose 🙏💛💫

Staying Focused

Staying focused on your fitness journey isn’t a simple linear path, it requires many adaptions along the way.

As you progress, new challenges can come along that you may not have had before and this is where the adaption comes in.

In times such as these stay focused on your path yet think outside the box, find new ways to look at the same journey and new ways to do things.

For example;

Creating more diverse workouts

Adding core challenges

Getting creative

These are just some ideas that can not only help you to stay on track, but also keep things fun and exciting.

‘Stay adaptive, stay focused on your journey‘

Keep on track, enjoy the process and you’ll see the progress 💪

To your healthiest and best 🙏💫

Listen to your body

When exercising regularly or even when not its important to learn to listen to our bodies.

Learning to know when your are training just enough and when you’ve gone too far and adapt your training accordingly.

Without doing this we can easily end up overtraining, when we become very enthusiastic or at the other extreme not doing enough and feeling fatigue from this.

Find your balance and always listen to your body, as this is constantly changing as we are on our journey.

The more you do this the easier it then becomes to pick up the signs of when you are going a little too far in over or under training.

Find your way, stay balanced & centred in your training 🙏

Coping with Stress

Coping with stress is something many of us have to manage on a daily basis, as we are thrown in to situations that can be challenging or difficult to cope with.

So what are some of the best ways of coping with stress.?

  1. Balance– having a good work/life balance is essential, make sure you get enough time for you.
  2. Exercise– stressful situations can create excess energy, which can then be discharged healthily and in a positive way through exercise. By doing this you are making these situations work to your benefit.
  3. Relaxation/Mediation– having a daily practice of relaxation and meditation can help you perform well under pressure, as having a calm mindstate that will come more naturally to you.

Explore other ways and options and find what way works best for you. Stress can work positively for us as well as negatively and it’s important to make it work for you. Following strategies that can make all the difference and ultimately put you in charge of the situation.

To your healthiest and best 🙏

Maintaining positive habits

During the winter months maintaining positive habits can be difficult, however all the more important.

Keeping fit and healthy during the winter will help you to stay mobile and maintain good health, where you may otherwise be more likely to get under the weather.

Sometimes the weather may seem off-putting, when you have to make your way to the gym for example. However remind yourself always of how important it is and how good you will feel afterwards. Stay positive and keep up with your positive habits.

The effort will always be worth it. 💫

3 ways to note progress

It’s important to recognise our progress in training and there are many ways to do this, the following are a few I recommend.

  1. Physical, have you increased your weight, your reps or speed where possible, these are all great progressions, take note 🙂
  2. Cognitive, has your focus and concentration improved, these are very possible outcomes as well as improved memory. Take note and track your improvements when you notice these too.
  3. Emotional, do you feel better in yourself, happier and more engaged socially. Take note of these as it’s a great outcome that can sometimes get overlooked.

Important also for us to recognise, is if any of these factors begin to reverse, this is something that can happen with overtaining so is helpful to be aware ofas early as possible.

When keeping our own progress notes we can keep on top of our training and ensure we stay at our best, something well worth doing.

Enjoy the process and progress 🙏💫

Practicing Presence

So often in our busy lives we can be caught up by where we have been, or where we have to be, rather than simply being.

This has become such a way of life for many that it’s important to learn to be fully present once again, so how can we practice presence.?

Practicing presence first has to be realised as important for our health and wellbeing, more important than any past or future moment and truth is, this moment is really the only moment there ever is, and why it is most important. For if we miss it we are missing out on life.

The greatest way to train ourselves to be more immersed again in the now and practice presence fully, is through our senses.

Our senses are interacting with the world around us in the now and the more we become in touch with the sights, sounds, smells, tastes and sensations all around us the more present we can become.

Make it a daily practice to become absorbed in one or more of your senses on a daily basis as a mindful meditation and observe how it can help you to become more constantly present.

Enjoy the practice, enjoy the present 🎁 🙂
