YogaMOOc w5: Sharing my goals

Until this day, I feel I made an amazing progress. I really feel committed to my own expectations, and for the first time in my life I do not over think about the future, I am here.

The first week I felt exhausted, not only of my environment, but also I was tired of myself. I tried some many times to take discipline about something and in the middle I got demotivated, I always thought about "how long and complicated" the journey could be. I also made up this tragic scenarios in my head, and I actually invented full dialogues where people I know, they were talking about the terrible work I made.

I am different now, because I think different. Instead of focusing on my weaknesses, I take my skills and enhance them. I am aware of my presence in this planet, and how every decision I take will affect others. Being able to do my yoga practice 6 times per week makes me so happy. I remember when I was so concentrated in not being observed that I forgot the importance of put enough attention to my body, my breathe and my feelings.

I am more than grateful for this huge opportunity you guys gave to the entire world through this MOOC. You are saving the world with this amazing program, with your love and knowledge, and I could give testimony of it.

YogaMOOC w6: The end :’)

After these 6 weeks, I really notice a change in myself:

-Observation of Interpersonal Interactions: I noticed a difference of how I perceive the people around me. I live in huge and chaotic city, I usually hate using the public transport, I hated everyone in my way to work and returning from it. When I did the Awareness Meditation, it really turn on something in me. It was like I stopped being me, I got out of my cocoon and see myself as one with the people.  I am not mad anymore with the rest of the people. I felt like a light appeared inside of my chest. I am more patient, tolerant with my mother in law, and I am being so open with this :O. We had a terrible relationship, I don't get involve with her aggressions anymore, I just let them passed, and it helped even her own behaviour with me.

-Course Goal Assesment: I am happy of my results, I know that I have to keep on track with meditation, it is a completely new practice for me. I am happy that I accomplished my own expectations, from this point I know I can be better and use this approximation for many others goals I want to pursue in my life.

-End of Course Reflections from above: I feel different. My mind feels different, I feel calm and I think I can manage my problems from a different approach now.  I am grateful of my life, instead of all this frustration I used to feel. My chest was filled with anxiety from the goals or dreams I didn't know how to get or could not get. I learnt my life is happening now, and I have to be aware of it. I can not let go the details.

I was the type of person who do multitasking and lost keys, money, directions, and incredibly impuntual; It really is so amazing how in this time I changed, I act consciously. I love it.

Thank you guys, Stacy, Catherine, Dave and George, all your time, knowledge and effort will leave a mark in everyone of us :)

YogaMOOC w4: Practicing Mindfulness with Your  Course Goal

Following the advance over my goal, settled in first week:

Make Yoga On and Off-The -Matt a daily basis practice. 

1. How might the practice of paying attention to the present moment, with openness and non-judgment, play into attaining your course goal?

I think I am being more open and natural, by this I mean I am not overthinking about if I am meditating or doing asanas as perfect as posible. I just enjoy it and concentrate enough to do my best. Some days I feel powerful and intense, and others I don’t. So I adapt my mood and I do not feel bad if I am not making a yoga journal picture pose, or levitating over rivers while meditation flows. I am in the moment.

2. Have you noticed that mindfulness has played a role in this goal process? If so, how?

Yes, because it help to stop being so disperse. I concentrate my energy less in unhelpful activities, and instead I follow my things to do.

YogaMOOC w4: Exploring Common Humanity 3/3

i. I cannot safe enough money to accomplish my dreams, everything is so expensive.

ii. I feel incomplete, that I am wasting my money paying rent, and at the same time I sabotage my own plans to try to buy a house. I feel that I will never be able to start and finish the postgraduate studies I want to do.

iii. MY NEW WAY OF BEING: I am working to achieve my goals, I have more money flowing in my life and I invest it in my journey needs.

iv.  MY NEW FEELINGS: I am competent, successful and patient with my own results. I know money is an energy not an achievement, so I use this energy to help me and my loved ones to improve our lives. My happiness and capabilities do not depend on the number of zeros in my bank account.

[mariinzland]

YogaMOOC w4: Exploring Common Humanity. 2/3

iv. MY NEW FEELINGS: I know I am safe, I can take care of myself and no one is out there trying to harm me. I enjoy my life and I do the things that I want.

[mariinzland]

YogaMOOC w4: Exploring Common Humanity. 1/3

Next piece in my life: my own prejudices, this the most ingrained to me.

i. Every time I try to take a risk, I wait for acceptance.

ii. I feel sadness, anxiety and despair. I feel useless, like I am not good at anything. This I had an episode of depression because of this limiting belief.

iii. MY NEW WAY OF BEING: Every time I want to take a risk, all the approval I need, it will come from my heart.

iv. MY NEW FEELINGS: I feel happy and positive, realistic and capable to resolute the problems that could appear. :)

Yoga MOOC w4: The Off Switch Experience

The protocol has been founded, now it is my obligation to put in on practice :) This week I just had two stressed days:

Monday: Curiously, today my partner’s family visited us, included my mother in law. Even the visit was really short, my mom’s partner couldn't avoid being aggressive and rude. In other occasions I feel so stressed when I know I have to see her. This time I concentrate myself in my space, my senses, I put my attention in me, and really helped. When she started her unnecessary comments I wasn't even mad at all. I just let her words pass by. I NEVER felt so calm when she was around,

Wednesday: I had a job interview, I tried to keep calm and let out my nervousness. The rest of my day was also peaceful :)

right now, I am not really in my entire routine because I’m underemployed. But I really felt a difference past Monday, and because of it I am so grateful with YogaMOOC team <3

Yoga MOOC w4: The Off Switch Protocol

For this week I have to expose 4 topics in order to establish my Protocol to regulate consciously my stress response.

i. My common occurrences that invoke stress: 

Eternal vehicular traffic, high people density on the subway, long waiting lines. Living in this city, these factors are part of my everyday life.

Familiar issues (mainly because we have different perceptions), intolerant or passive aggressive people (for example 9 of 10 times I coexist in the same room with my mother in law).

ii. My body sensations that arise with stress:

Tachycardia, strong heart palpitations, high blood pressure.

Tachypnea, anxiety, despair and sometimes anger.

iii. My own personal statement of intention:

I will be aware of the situations that provoke me stress in daily life. Deliberately, stop my predisposition to the moments and I will focus myself in my surroundings, listen to my body and relax.

iv. My own off-switch protocol:

Minimize my disgust over my stress triggers.

Notice my body during the moment I could feel stress.

Focus in myself and in my environment.

Breathe long and deep as necessary.

Remember good or funny memories.

If the sensations do not diminish, take a few minutes to go outside the stress factor and make 4-7-8 breathing exercise.

YogaMOOC w3: Reflecting your goal

This week I have to clarify my own answers and get feedback of the path linked to my personal goal.

*Why is your goal important to you? Will it be personally meaningful for you to reach your goal?

Going back 3 weeks, just to set up things striaght, my personal goal is “ Make Yoga On and Off-The -Matt a daily basis practice. “ Startting off from this idea, my goal is important to me becuase I want to stablish a discipline in my head. Meditation and yoga have been a positive exprience in my recent life. Since I started continuosly (5 months ago) practicing asanas, meditating, pranayamas and understanding this life philosophy, I feel less anxious and less unhappy. I think I am more realistic and ready for life.

**Do you notice anything about your goal that you want to change? Does it need to be more specific? Does it need to be more aligned with your values? Maybe you’re pleased with your goal and it’s working out well for you. 

At this point I believe my goal it’s working with me. The point where I have to keep working is my attachtment to my schedule, find the strenght of my willpower and embrace it.

[mariinzland]

Yoga MOOC: Monitoring your Goal.

The first step for this exercise it is recognizing my goal: "Make Yoga On and Off-The -Matt a daily basis practice."

Secondly, I decided, the action I could take this week to achieve my goal it's SET SCHEDULES, so that's what did. honestly the reminder of having an appointment with my own self pushed me to attend the course. There were days where I didn't followed it enterily, but I keep it going. I choosed early mornings to be myself, in full concentration.

Finally, today I feel great, because I stayed in tune with my schedule and my own expectations. Want can I do today? Keep my motivation and congratulate myself for accomplished my times :)

[mariinzland]

Yoga MOOC: Wiring in the Pause.

After my first exercise of week 2, I took the notes to answer the questions required:

-What was your ability to stay committed to the exercise? Well, the first times, not much. After doing it a couples times it became easier. I really found a relation, the more bored I was, the more I wanted to stay connected with my smartphone, it was like trying to avoid reality.

-How did you feel at the end of each 5 breath pause? Calm most of the times, but some other times my mind was really dispersed.

-Did you feel any physical sensations? Yes, anxiety every single time, that’s where the 5 breaths helped me.

-Did the pause open up any clarity for you? Actually it did, as I said in my last answer, I felt with no direction but it was calming, my way to explain my feelings during this process, I had my mini-me inside saying: “ok, this is not productive for me, so... now what?”

-Did you re-direct your actions because of the pause? Sometimes I did, because it was completly unnecesary, for example I was scrolling Facebook at a class: FAIL, I stopped and get my attention back to my teacher. But other times I actually thought “I don’t have anything more productive to do know” which was a lie, I could draw (I love to draw), study for my upcoming exams or read anything I like.

-Did you find yourself taking the 5 deep breaths outside of the asigned times? Yes, I did it twice, before I actually took the cellphone. I breathed and leaved it where it was. I felt proud, but still with anxiety flourishing :O

This was cruel, I never thought I was really so attached to this device. For sure I experienced a wake up call for my productivity. 

[mariinzland]

YogaMOOC: Awakening to Habits.

The “Awakening to Habits” part was tricky at the beginning, but after really making it with conscience, I could realize how much time I touched my cellphone for unnecesary reasons, just because “why not scrolling a little?” It was disturbing. I guess when I actually started to be aware of my  action and the mind told me “put your cellphone down, you don’t need it”, my true awareness begant.

Actually, I identified that most of the time I just give a scroll, it is because I am bored, as you guys said in the lectures, so why do not use this boredoom to motivate something productive with my own phone? Also, one of the topics for this exercise included a question about what could be possible to do if I give a purpose to use my cellphone, and I think I have an idea, which answer my two questions: 

I have this app clalled “Duolingo” where you can practice languages. My new goal now, will be to be productive. Everytime i feel bored I will look to pratice with Duolingo, instead of doing nothing in Facebook or Instagram. I know there could be times when I just simply cannot pratice with Duolingo, like in any type of uncomfortable reunion, I think here is where my real problem resides.
