Today is my least favourite day

Everyday is my least favourite day

It's absurd how much being active, or even just stepping outside every night to go for a walk changes your outlook.

For a good 7-8 months, I was deeply depressed. There were quite a few factors, but as soon as I said "Fuck this, I'm going for a walk" my mood started to change. I was out in the sun. I was taking in fresh air. I wasn't staring at my fucking ceiling, and my head was starting to clear.

And for the past few months I've been walking every day. Now I have incorporated rucking and yoga since May, and I'm down about 12 lbs. I'm eating smarter, and I actually feel good. My relationships are looking up again, and I feel like myself.

Mazirek thoughtfully clicked his tongue, then asked.

— Tell me, Pride... what is its meaning?

Setting the cup on the saucer, Vraska pondered. She sighed, searching for the answer in her thoughts... and finally found it.

— In my life, I have often encountered those who made the mistake of not taking me seriously—either as a specialist or as a threat,” Vraska folded her arms across her chest, and the snake-like hair framing her face slowly swayed.

She looked at Mazirek with her sincere golden eyes.

— If I am destined to face disrespect, then I must love myself so sincerely that no fool can take that away from me.

For a good 7-8 months, I was deeply depressed. There were quite a few factors, but as soon as I said "Fuck this, I'm going for a walk" my mood started to change. I was out in the sun. I was taking in fresh air. I wasn't staring at my fucking ceiling, and my head was starting to clear.

Here, every third teenager has "deep depression."

For the next two years, forgetting about everything: his dreams, goals, roots, forgetting about his own "self," Ailenberg reveled in power and luxury. He became the unofficial master of the city, its terror and its protector. But each subsequent day clearly reminded Christoph of the previous one; time merged into a single, viscous river without end or edge. The mage was overcome by depression; he didn't leave his huge house for days on end, lying on the bed for hours, as if paralyzed, staring at the marble ceiling. And the moment came when he broke down and left, crossing out and leaving everything behind.

Le réveil sonne : Première humiliation de la journée!
The alarm rings: The first humiliation of the day!

It seems like the internet makes a lot of people forget that not giving a fuck about something is still a perfectly valid option. I really wish more people would not give a fuck about more things. We'd all be better off.

If you don't find common ground with your body in time, it turns into a torture chamber. Yoga provides the opportunity for high-quality consensus with it.

You should not try to complete each complex from beginning to end at all costs; on the contrary, a beginner (or their instructor) should choose what is suitable for their age, health, and acceptable in terms of time. The quality of execution is more important than the number of asanas performed. You can start with the part of the complex that you didn't have time for today tomorrow.

So, what is form optimization? Every beginner, when starting yoga, focuses either on the image (photograph) of the asana or on the instructor demonstrating it. But the person in the picture or in front of you has their own body, not yours! And their physical (as well as mental) parameters (condition, capabilities) are not identical to yours, and vice versa! An adult, fully formed body has its own level of flexibility (including genetically), and as a rule, nine out of ten people cannot bend as much as young, hypermobile people who are shown on the Internet and in glossy magazines under the label "yogis."
But if I can't bend in the same way as the person in the photo or reproduce what the instructor is doing, does that mean that the asana is performed incorrectly? Not at all, the pose is an asana only if (and as long as) it is completely comfortable (unfelt), silences the mind, and is accompanied by it. How much the resulting form matches the picture or the instructor is irrelevant!

the body should not be damaged under any circumstances!
It is this moment – the complete implementation of non-violence in the practice of asanas – that distinguishes true yoga from any modern varieties called yoga acrobatics!

Diligence, however, can lead to overload, hence the rule: no matter what asanas were performed the day before, today there should be no new and unfamiliar sensations in the body, and there is no question of pain or discomfort.
