Well, I am off to Bridget's Hen weekend in Leitrim, which should be a blast! Unfortunately I will be missing my posture clinic tomorrow, which is a huge bummer as I found it really helpful :(
I have been thinking of more goals for TT and another huge thing is the heat!! I WANT TO BEAT THE HEAT! Its one of my major worries and I hope that my body will adjust before the 9 weeks are up! As another trainee said last TT in Spring, no matter what, stay in the room! So I guess that would go with the whole beat the heat mantra as well! I can do this, I know I have experienced worse! As Bikram says " which do you prefer, 90 minutes of pain or 90 years?". I'll take the 90 minutes boss..........

Hello to anyone/everyone! Well, only 4 weeks to go! I just want to send a HUGE thank you to Anne at the Dublin studio, for volunteering her own time to coach/inspire/critique all 8 of us trainees going in the fall! I really got a suprise when I realized how hard it is to speak and direct people during the Bikram postures without stuttering on my words or going completely blank! Yikes!
I'm thinking of goals for myself during TT and there are many. I really want to keep my focus, this is soooo important to me, and lately I feel I've lost it a bit. I know Bikram talks about self-realization and not to make excuses to not do something, but damn its hard sometimes to stop and just be in that moment. This is my number one goal, and maybe it does have alot to do with my own self-realization. I need to know I can do this, but there is always this little voice saying Im not good enough or not as good as everyone else. I know this is something I need to work on and maybe when I'm at TT I will find it.
