Year of Devotion
So, those who have read my LJ (it's public, so it's not like it's an uber secret tome), I want to label last year as the Year Dani Got Better; or at least, I was making conscious choices to better my life. However, there was slight things lacking, and some of that caused rifts within some of Griff and I's relationship; I am somewhat spiritually unfulfilled, and last night I did a minor yoga practice both in the tub and out of it. I felt like a missing piece was finally nestled in the jigsaw puzzle of my essence. (Essence? Yeah, I said it.)
I call it devotional because I would essentially be devoting at least one day (though I will practice more than that) to yogic practice. To kind of kickoff this decision, I'm going to take a 12 hour fast (I have never done a fast, except for blood work, and I think this is a small enough fast that it'd be beneficial and a small step). I will not eat at 6PM tonight and thereafter until the morning. I also will probably get offline early and do a yoga practice and try to get my regular sleep routine down.
Part of me wants to get another tattoo or piercing to commemorate the whole idea, but with lack of funds I won't be able to. I will be working this semester, so perhaps I can set aside money to do so.
