Life without Bikram

I have decided to continue this blog, even though Bikram has ended.  Yesterday, was my first day outside of my bikram challenge.  And I was sick.  The evening of my last bikram, I had trouble sleeping b/c of nasal congestion.  Maybe it's allergies, the vog (volcanic fog), or maybe it's being bombarded at work. But to be done with work and everything, and home before 5pm and sunlight...My life has returned.

This blog will continue.  Prior to the new year starting, several friends and myself created a list of 11 goals for 2011.  One goal on there was to complete the 30 day bikram challenge.  One goal that can be checked off the list.  A new one pending for later this month is the master cleanse.  But we are planning to start this as a group.  I have done it annually, but never as a group. The goal is to do another 10 days without food, solely the lemonade-maple syrup-cayenne pepper mix.  Each time i do the cleanse i hate it, and each time it's a different experience.  Not every time do i last the entire 10 days, but this will be the first time in a group setting.  That is pending. 

Many people set goals for the year, and so do I, as they are things to check off.  But i am realizing after you achieve these goals, the satisfaction may dissipate.  It is all about keeping it as practice in your daily life.  I will add my goals later, but i notice they are shifting..

For me what I want to change is an ongoing practice of creativity (writing), relaxation, self care, health, fitness, spirituality, love, gratitude, and connection (in some shape or form).  The question is how does this stay my focus for more than 10 or 30 days, but daily...
