Well I've gotten tired of my little pity party. Just when I had a theme song and everything. I've been working on my yoga lessons. I read this course years and years ago. I know I gave the link t Del, and I think it's on the site somewhere. I've started reading the site again:
www.kundaliniyoga.org/classes.html
They have re-written the course and it's a lot easier to get through than the first time. It's the same material I think, but it's better written and easier to follow. I'm already more than half way through. I've also been reading a Course in Miracles:
acim.org/index.html
It's great...
I've also been checking out a lot of life coaches, and motivational speakers on line but... well they are a bit more cheerful and optimistic than I've been able to muster. I saw this quote in my yoga course and had to smile, because it made me think of my new life coaching friends. "Denial is not happiness." I don't know if they are in denial, but they seem to be suggesting I should be.
I mean if I feel a certain way, then I do have a right to feel it, and know what it is, instead of just pushing it back. Denial is how I got depressed in the first place. Self denial and pretending stuff didn't bother me has left me miserable. I am trying to have real joy in my life again, not some plastic artificial happiness, that is no deeper than a smile.
Things are better though. My family seems to be doing better as well. I am honestly feeling more positive about my life. Things are not so bad, only that I know what I expect of myself, and I feel like I have fallen short, but maybe not by as much as I was feeling that I had.
