Day 18

The 18th day of my 21 day challenge!

Day 17:

Meditation:  I had a very nice meditation session this morning, using my 'om' mantra and focusing on my breath.  I felt very very relaxed afterwards.  I think my techniques are improving because I really feel that it is a lot easier to focus on my breathing or the vibrations of a mantra and it is nice to just sit back and watch thoughts without judging them or letting them take control.

Exercise:  I think I have a trapped nerve in my hip so this is bad times!  But I did manage to do about 20 minutes of light and easy yoga, gentle twists and moving cat to engage the core.  A bit of yoga and stretching seemed to help a little but I didn't want to overdo.

Drawing:  I started a zentangle drawing today for my EHCBJ tumblr background, maybe for my facebook page cover too.

Work on my business:  I did another mushroom design after a suggestion I got on my facebook page, of a fly agaric mushroom.  This would probably look good in pink UV.

Spending time with/doing things for others:  I had a catchup with my Dad over a cuppa which was really nice because I haven't seen him in ages.  I asked him about work and how things were going and gave him his belated birthday present.

Today has been a nice and relaxing day even with doing my challenge activities, they really don't feel like any hassle at all anymore really it just feels like the norm!  And I was able to do everything in my own time because I didn't really have anything else to do today which was nice.  Tonight I am off out with the girls which I am looking forward to!  Hopefully tomorrow my hip will feel better and I can go for a run or something.  I wanted to do this today but thought I'd better not.  ONLY 3 DAYS LEFT WOW!!! Anyway peace out lovely people!
