Self Revamp

I'm a whimpy kid, that's what my boyfriend would always jokingly tell me. It seems like I don't take it seriously, but I do. Only because I really am a whimp. Haha. I always trip and fall. I never was into athletic activities. Unlike most of the kids, I hated Physical Education way back when I was in school. Not because I wasn't interested but because of my small built and lack of physical activities, I'm not strong and skilled enough to excel and even just enjoy the activities. Haha.

Now that I am already part of the working class, I face stress and fatigue everyday. Having a desk job, glued on my computer everyday gives me that feeling that I don't feel healthy anymore. Not to mention getting sickly more often these days. So, last Janauary, I told myself that I should start living a healthy lifestyle. I'm now watching what I eat where I avoid junk and fast foods, keep myself hydrated all the time and maintain a healthy and balanced diet. Since I'm cleansing myself inside, I shouldn't forget to pamper myself in the outside as well. I'm more conscious now of what cosmetics I use and I keep my skin hydrated with body lotion and facial moisturizers. I'm on the constant look on finding healthier options for beauty products and so far I'm quite happy with what I have now. You can check my healthy beauty haul that I will post soon, I promise! :) 

Since I'm done with the cleansing and pampering part, I've decided to try out a physical activity. Yikes! After all the searching and the research of what I can do, I decided to go for some Yoga classes. I had my first Yoga class yesterday (yes, I'm no longer a Yoga virgin!) and I did enjoy every single minute of it. It was such a relaxing yet challenging activity where I felt that every inch of my body was covered with the stretching and the calming effect. At the start of the class, our instructor told us to ask ourselves, why we're trying out yoga. It was a big question for me. All that I have in mind is that I want to stay fit and that I thought it was the easiest way to be. But as we started doing poses, it wasn't really that easy. It was actually hard! Oh god, our instructor was right. He was about to torture us. Haha. As I test my body's flexibility and stamina, I felt that I was terribly shaking from time to time. As our instructor approached me telling that he's a body reader, he blurted out the real reason why I was there and that it is because I wanted to be strong. I do yoga to be stronger. Stronger physically and emotionally. And this was true. I no longer want to be a whimpy kid, a weakling. 

From then, I started to really feel the moment without judgment and without caring if I was shaking. I was in full contact with my inner self and my will to give my body that strength that it needs to have. Absolutely, there's this sensation that creeps on every part of me whenever I do poses, struggle to keep it still and finally surrendering my body whenever we're asked to rest. It was such a great feeling. After that session, I was wanting to do more yoga and I felt that I finally found an activity that I feel passionate about. 

I'll be doing more yoga from now and will continuously improve myself. Cheers to a healthy life! 

TTFN!
