Hi!
Today I going to write about running and meditation.
Why? I have been expericience some signs of anxiety. It recently develop more since we moved to this new state where everything is new, different and very unusual for our lifestyle.
In 2014 when I had my baby I thought it was depression post partum but it when off. I started at that moment taking yoga classes and meditation, and it help me a lot to handle that issue.
Recently I started to run again since I decided that this is my moment for me, for me , and for me. So I’m thinking if I add to my life a little bit of meditation It could help. Before it work I hope this time too. I need it.
I recently decided to take this step that I have been procastinating for so long but I haven’t the courage to open about it. And now is the time. I know I’m not alone.
I have been suffering anxiety
It took me a long time to talk about this because it hard to accept that something is happening to me. In the moment that I accepted it, I felt a little free.
So I’m considerating add this practice to my routine. Do you meditate?
Today is April 2, 2017.
I ran 0.50mi This run was very peaceful and very quiet. I thank God for this run today.
Yesterday April 1, 2017.
I ran 0.50mi. This run turns into a dark place when someone decided to be a bully and scream something that I’m not allow myself to repeat because I’m a better person. I’m a good person, that kind of person, if you need me, I will be there for you to help you stand up. I learn that if you cancel the negative, That thought goes away so that was what I did it today and that’s why my run was a succesful one.
Sorry if this is not what you want to read. This is my life and I write about my life.
This is the Diary of C.P.
Thanks for Visiting

PS: I’m deciding if I post this or not… It’s hard to let’s others know this part of me. but I you see it is because I decide to keep it up real.
Peace and Love C.P
Yoga when you’re sick
Hi Everyone!
Today is December 2, 2014.
Today here where I live was a gloomy day plus I’m sick. I started to feel a little bit sick since saturday night after the yoga class. I was super sweaty. When the class finished I went out of the building and the weather was like 28 Degrees Fahrenheit. I wasn’t prepared with the correct clothes.
On my 3rd day of sickness I just can’t handle this. Is hard trying to take care of your almost four months baby when you’re feeling sick. So I decided to move my body and my soul trying something new. Like I told before I’m beginner on yoga. So I search from my favorite yoga youtuber Adriene and I found a video for when you are sick.
It was my first time practicing yoga when I’m feeling sick. and let me tell you I used this video and it was very helpful, refreshing, peaceful and powerful. Nothing more to say.

Day#14: Rest Day
Day#15
This Saturday morning was lovely. The great start of the day was when I open the curtains and saw that was snowing. So for a moment I contemplated to stay at home so I do not drive in the snow. But I think twice and decided to go. I said in my mind this day is a wonderful day to relax and enjoy the rest of my day with my family. So I went to the class. I took the soft flow class in the morning. Let me tell you was a little bit challenging but at the same time powerful. I release all the negative of my mind; I introduce a positives thoughts; and relax my mind. Was a wonderful experience. The teacher was amazing his voice was incredible relaxing. He explained so well, and show how to do the poses. It’s nice because I’m a beginner on this practice.
You know when you are in the right place and time, when you feel comfortable with yourself. That was my moment, my space, my time, my peaceful and grateful instant to enjoy my life. In this class I found a little bit more about me. It felt so good to have this occasion to review my life and be grateful with everything is happening.
Thanks God for be present in our lives. Thank God for my husband, for my baby girl, for my home, family, and friends.
Theme of the class was Acceptance.
I accepted in the class to be more positive, if I’m that way everything in life is going to work with me.
Routine time: 75 minutes
Favorite pose of the day: Side angle = Utthita Parsvakonasana

Hi Everyone!
Today is November 6, 2014.
Day#5
Rest day. Like I told you before, I’m a beginner and I need some rest because I was feeling a little bit of soreness in my body. I regretted that I not did anything at all for the challenge, but in the end I felt good to have a day off.
Day#6
Was a good day for me. I woke up very early 5:44 am since then I still up. I drank a coffee to help me to stay up and function normally since I never wake up at these time. I did some house work. “House work never-ending you know“. I take care of my baby. I take advantage of one of her naps so I did my routine for this day.
I searched on youtube.com |yoga for beginners| and there I found a bunch of videos for novice people like me. I used a video from a girl named Adriene her channel is Yoga with Adriene. Also she have a web page: http://yogawithadriene.com I think the video is very informative and I felt it work for me.
Routine Duration: 15 minutes {Yoga for the lower back pain} For healing and preventive care.
Favorite pose of the day: Two-Knee Twist
Thoughts of the day: It felt so good doing this routine I absolutely love it. I recommend it if you having problem with your lower back.
How to do Two-Knee Twist pose:
Lying on your back, bend your knees into your chest and bring your arms out at a T. As you exhale lower your knees to ground on the right. Keep both shoulders pressing down firmly. If the left shoulder lifts, lower your knees further away from the right arm. Hold for 1-2 minutes each side
Fact: Listen to your body and find what feels good.
