This week got me thinking about many things. If you haven’t read my newest series yet called, “Hear it From Honey: It’s GOOD Advice” I do hope you will check it out. I ask my readers (including you!) what they would like to hear from me. It can be an overarching idea or a specific question, but it’s a weekly blog that allows me to answer any of your questions that you may have for me.
This week I spoke on rejection. I know that we have all been rejected, and unfortunately, we will continue to have and be rejected It’s how we deal with the rejection that is important. (At least in my opinion.) As I mentioned in my blog, when you are faced with rejection, take a deep breath and focus only on your self-worth. Use your positive resources; wisdom, experience, knowledge, and principles. Concentrate on valuing who you are and not on what the perpetrator tried to do to you. In other words, darling, never sell yourself short!” I hope this helps. For more, make sure you check out “Hear it From Honey” every Thursday. And, if you would like to ask me a question, please email me at info@www.honeygood.com. You will stay anonymous!
Now, on to my Weekend Musings…
Weekend Musings: 25-Min Total Body Yoga & Tension Release
I don’t know about you darling, but with the way the world is now, I know I need to release a little tension. I wanted to find a way to relax, so I decided to make yoga a regular part of my weekend musings. What I love about Yoga, is that it’s for every age and every single body. It doesn’t matter if you are flexible, or if you’re great at it, it’s meant to help you and heal you.
Yoga is great for stretching, healing the mind, and being at peace with your inner and outer surroundings. Yoga’s past is rich with tradition and wisdom, offering lessons from generations before us. If you haven’t tried Yoga, I highly suggest that you do. I found a short 25-minute video on YouTube for you to try. Just looking at her surroundings makes me feel relaxed. Enjoy!
Introduction to Yoga and Its Benefits
Yoga is more than just a workout—it’s a way to bring balance and joy into your life, no matter where you are on your journey. Originating thousands of years ago in India, yoga has become a beloved practice worldwide, and for good reason. Imagine starting your Sunday with a gentle yoga flow, feeling your body wake up and your mind begin to clear. It’s a beautiful way to connect with yourself and set a positive tone for the week ahead.
Incorporating yoga into your daily routine can make a real difference, helping you rest, recharge, and live more fully. Whether you’re reading inspiring posts or diving into books about yoga, there’s always something new to learn and love about this practice. As you begin, remember that yoga is about taking care of yourself—body, mind, and spirit. It’s not about perfection, but about progress and self-love. So, start where you are, take it one breath at a time, and let yoga help you connect with the best version of yourself.
Before you begin your practice this weekend, take a moment to choose a word that represents your motivation or intention for doing yoga. Let this word guide and inspire you throughout your journey.
Understanding Tension Release
Let’s be honest—life can get a little overwhelming, especially after a long week of work, family, and endless to-do lists. That’s where the magic of tension release comes in. Deciding to set aside just a few minutes each day for yoga can make all the difference in how you feel, both physically and emotionally. Instead of reaching for the TV remote on a Friday night, why not try a calming yoga session to begin your weekend on a peaceful note?
Many people share in the comments of yoga posts how this simple practice has helped them manage stress and find a sense of calm. Accompanied by a soothing voice or a favorite online instructor, you can learn techniques that melt away tension and leave you feeling lighter. The more you practice, the more you’ll notice the difference—your body relaxes, your mind quiets, and you’re ready to start the weekend feeling refreshed. Give it a try and see how a little yoga can transform your week.
After your session, you might also enjoy your favorite drinks to further enhance your relaxation and make your weekend routine even more enjoyable.
Preparing for Yoga Practice
As the weekend arrives and life slows down just a bit, it’s the perfect time to rest, recharge, and set the stage for a meaningful yoga practice. Whether you’ve decided to begin your yoga journey or you’re looking to deepen your routine, a little preparation can make all the difference. On a peaceful Sunday morning, take a moment to reflect on what you hope to achieve—maybe you want to feel more energized, find a sense of calm, or simply enjoy some quality time with your kids. Setting an intention, even if it’s just to start, is an important first step.
Before you unroll your mat, think about what your body and mind need most right now. There’s no need to rush—listen to your body, and don’t hesitate to modify poses or take breaks as needed. The beauty of yoga is that it meets you where you are, and every practice is a chance to learn and grow. If you’re new, you’ll find lots of helpful advice in blog posts, comments, and books written by experienced yogis. Connecting with others—whether online or in person—can offer encouragement and inspiration, making your journey even more rewarding.
Yoga can also be a wonderful way to bring the family together. Try inviting your kids to join you for a gentle session; not only will you create lasting memories, but you’ll also be teaching them the importance of self-care and mindfulness. Over time, you may find that yoga becomes a cherished part of your week, something you look forward to every Friday or Sunday as a way to begin or end your weekend with intention.
If you’re curious about the deeper roots of yoga, consider reading books or watching documentaries that explore its rich history and philosophy. There’s always something new to learn, and expanding your knowledge can help you connect more deeply with your practice. You might even want to keep a journal to track your progress, jot down things you’ve learned, or list the poses and routines you love most.
Remember, yoga is a journey, not a destination. Each time you step onto your mat, you’re taking an important step toward a healthier, more balanced life. Be patient with yourself, celebrate the small victories, and don’t be afraid to try new things—you never know what difference a single practice can make. As you rest and recharge this weekend, let yoga be your companion, helping you live, love, and connect more fully with yourself and those around you.
Creating a Yoga Routine
Building your own yoga routine is a wonderful way to bring more intention and joy into your life. Whether you’re a busy parent juggling kids’ activities or someone looking to carve out a little “me time” on the weekend, a personalized yoga practice can fit right into your schedule. Start by writing down your goals—maybe you want to feel more energized, improve flexibility, or simply find a moment of rest each day.
Begin with a few gentle poses in the morning, or wind down with a calming sequence before bed. Reading books and posts about different yoga styles can help you learn what works best for you. Remember, it’s important to listen to your body and take rest when needed—there’s no rush. As you start taking these small steps, you’ll find that your routine becomes a cherished part of your day, helping you live with more balance and intention. And don’t forget to involve your loved ones—yoga can be a fun family activity, too!
Total Body Yoga Poses
If you’re looking to make the most of your yoga practice, total body yoga poses are a fantastic way to start. These poses engage multiple muscle groups, helping you build strength, flexibility, and focus all at once. Imagine beginning your Sunday with a series of energizing movements that set a positive tone for the week ahead—you’ll feel the difference in both your body and your mindset.
As you continue taking time for these poses, you’ll learn to love the way your body feels and moves. Preaching the benefits of yoga to friends and family can inspire others to join you on this journey of self-care and wellness. Remember to support your practice with healthy habits, like drinking plenty of water and nourishing your body with wholesome foods. With regular practice, you’ll not only see the physical benefits, but you’ll also notice a deeper sense of connection and gratitude for the life you live. So, start today—your body and mind will thank you!
