Mercury enters shadow

Astrologer Nadiya Shah, has a great video on mercury retrograde. As mercury enters shadow the events during that time will be revisited with clarity once it goes direct .. October 24ish. 

So this is the first time that I am looking at the mercury retrograde influence on a deeper level. Normally, I look for minor tweaks of delay in communication, sometimes it's very prominent, sometimes it's not. Apparently, the sign that mercury transits will be more reflective of the 'feel' of the retrograde. 

Transit Record : Mercury Enters shadow 

Well I wanted to record that I started this week with urgency to get things going with my group. The conference call situation on Sunday was something sad if one was to have expectations of commitment and passion lol. But I went with the flow and was practicing more for myself how to work on my own issues and to experience the stress I managing a group in a more empowering way. But everyone was all over the place and in an emotional weak place in which 'business' was not the priority. I can respect that. I know that not everyone is on the same level. But for me, this will be an experience and a test or more a challenge on how I can get business done with this astrological weather. 

How to get back INTO THE FIT JOURNEY

...I allowed myself to take break and let life be for the past few weeks. It's been quite a journey dealing with myself and my own thoughts. As well as dealing with outside projections. I found me doing pep talks on the side... Changing my thought patterns so that I don't walk away with guilty feelings after any indulgence. Pep talking myself about my body as i watch it go through changes. What I discovered... my fittest body to my not as fittest, is still better than I've ever loved before. There are parts of your body that honestly looks better when its softer. And there are parts that miss the muscle tone. Okay... well at least on my body. The key here; learning to love myself in my intense fitness phases and when i'm not as focused on fitness.

Today I felt the pinch in my shoulders and the tightness of my back. I sat in bed, and just started with the stretch. Just stretching my arms... reaching the ceiling then off to each side. Then rolling my abs. As I felt the fiery burn of my muscles... i knew i was ready to start with a workout right there right now. ... I started with a yoga routine. One of the projections, from a beloved person in my life, but still a selfish projection, was asking me..." You still work at the spin studio right?" .. Me "Yep".. "Oh okay...good". Now i'm on this.. DON'T TAKE THINGS PERSONAL vibe, but I couldn't help but see it as a projection. A need to tell me that I need to get back to working out. An .. "Oh ok..good cause without spin you reversing back."Maybe it was my own insecurities. But anyhoo, as I digress, I loved that I chose a yoga workout as in my fitness journey I want to have a plethora of workouts that I love and that work!

So the best way to get back into your fitness routine after a rut? Start with something you LOVE <3. For me, its spinning, yes. But also BUTI YOGA. I have an excellent video that I watch that will give me a good sweaty workout and its soo much fun. Its so sexy. And sexy really works for me in my workouts. I love to feel like i'm practicing my sexy and working out, it only motivates me even more. So, I think i'm back. I'm happy to be fitting in workouts on my daily routine again. It does make me feel so much more alive! Tomorrow..... Spin. :) on my own terms. always <3
