Age

They say that with age comes wisdom. I was intrigued by the title of the article and decided to share with you all.
The main reason why I’m sharing the article is to let it be known that you are strong. And as long as you are taking the steps to live a healthy lifestyle you will be alright.
As I have seen my own body progress with being slightly overweight and unhealthy I am able to see how now I can do things I couldn’t do before. But I know as much as I train now , it won’t be like this forever. Times change and the body does too. The question to the young reader is, where do you see yourself fitness wise 10yrs from now? The question to everybody else is, what steps can you take on your day to day task towards your fitness goal?

When 85yr old stubborn grandpa broke his hip he didn’t want help from anybody else but me. I knew I had to strengthen my body to help him up without jeopardizing my own body. I did get stronger and grandpa healed and got strong again too.

Young reader, get stronger. Yes you can. Do it all and do it with good form.

To my Original gangsters you too, can get your body stronger. Not in the sense you’ll lift heavy deadlifts or snatches . But in the sense that you can have better awareness of your body. More discipline and more focus towards your health with a gentle approach.

Moving efficiently with your own breath. That’s where we all fit. Whether you’re young or an original gánster. Always come back to your breath. Whether you’re running or walking, awareness to your breath.

The big Y (Why)

Choose your why. Why do you want to achieve your fitness goal? And believe me when I tell you it needs to be something bigger than yourself. I’m not saying that “Because you want to fit in to your new jeans you haven’t wore” or you “Want to look good at your wedding” are not good enough reasons. These reasons are only temporary and will not be able to stick when the going get tough.

It can also be something simple like I tell my OG’s in class “We do utkatasana (chair pose) to get in and out of the toilet with ease”. Whatever we do in the mat (your sport) needs to transfer to real life. It needs to transfer to the bigger picture. It needs to transfer to 10-20 years down the road.

Accidents and injuries do happen. With love and patience you will get better. That’s, YWeFit.

Long term commitment. Long term health and fitness. Light and love to all.

Namaste ✨♥️
See you at the mat.

Reminder

Hello my gorgeous reader,

This is your gentle Friday love letter. From me to you, with hopes that you’re happy and healthy.

Believe,

Believe that you will get exactly what you need. Not more or less, but exactly what you truly need.

With more, you tend to get carried away, get very little done or move slower than you know you should move. You forget your breath and find it difficult to center yourself.

With less, you cut yourself short. You stress more than the rest. You arrive late and loose your balance a little more.

Believe that although you (we) take a tiny place in this earth our speck is enough. Our speck is enough to make our breath count.

Have you ever seen a picture of mother earth in space view?

Pretty tiny huh?

Yet, though we take a small part in this beautiful world with us, we carry the ability to be kind, loving and understanding. We carry breath. We carry life. We carry power. You are loved beyond measure. Wherever you are in this majestic earth of ours, please remember, that I am thinking of you. Ahimsa, non-violence. Be gentle with yourself. Be patient with your journey. Lotus be kind. Lotus be graceful.

Namaste.

“The centipede envies the snake for not needing legs to get around. The snake envies the wind for not needing a body to just be”. -Youtube video I saw this morning

The moral of the story is that we are constantly trying to make changes to ourselves. Brunettes want to be blondes ( ME I’d like to be blonde) and blondes want to be brunets.

And so the story goes. Without much thought, doing comes from being. Allow yourself to stay with your breath.

You have breath and you have body. You have everything you need to achieve your goals. There is nothing to change. Sure, there may be some acceptance and adjustments. But in the end you are enough.

You are enough to start. You are enough to end. You are enough for your journey. And As you are, you take a wonderful place in this earth.

I share this thought with you because social media can get us real jacked up. Even our family members. Only you know how hard you work. Only you know the tears you cry. Only you know if what you need is a little more discipline, or a little more will. Whatever it is that you may need, please know that it is within that you will find it.

From the bottom of my heart, please don’t ever feel alone. You are loved. You are enough.

In honor of “The Bird Who Became The Wind” I decided to try Crow pose today. Truth is, I stay away from practicing complicated poses. Yin is my thing. But oh how fun it’s to try something scary from time to time.

Now, If you’re looking for a mood booster please try our Alpha Brain. Yes, I do receive some commission if you purchase. But I take it myself. I trust the product and have felt a huge improvement in my energy level when I started to take this. I take it for a whole month. Then give myself a break from it and then I take it again. Also for sleep! I take New mood. Not every single night but just about.

Hello, World!
