You've excelled yourself @Judi9877 . The muffins sound yummy.

What are yoga breaths @TAB ?

.. eh ? I thought you said you did yoga @Dimity okay super basic version, breathe in thru nostrils, from abdomen up into lungs right up to collarbones, hold briefly, then breathe out til you feel 'like' you are pushing against your spine

Thanks @TAB . (My Yoga Nidra is just a guided app not a proper yoga practice.)

beats anything I am doing @Dimity the book that I have had for years and not used for years now is Enjoy Living through Yoga by Swami Sarasvati, its Hatha form

I did go to a few clases a long time ago at community college thing, ok unrelated, that was a real eye opener even doing a few classes, like medication and 'breathing from toes' etc I should do it again

those still sound like great Achievements @Dimity well done😊 Im curious to know what your Yoga routine is thanks Lost Angel

Thanks @LostAngel sounds like you had a productive day.

Yoga Nidra is a guided practice for relaxation you do lying on your back. The longer versions include some visualising as well. It was recommended to me by a psychologist. I'm on to my second or third app product now but they're basically the same. The 10 minute practice is mindfulness rotating through the body and is free. The longer practices go for 25 or 30 minutes and go deeper into breathing etc. The full version cost about $8 as a one-off purchase.

I've found it's quite good. I hadn't done it for a while but have enjoyed getting back to it. I'd recommend it as it's cheap soothing and non-threatening I.e. it doesn't trigger my anxiety. I do it at night to help me wind down.

thanks @Dimity The Yoga Nidra sounds interesting I wouldn't mind giving it a go

@LostAngel hope you enjoy it, mine is an Android app from Google Play

Good evening @Dimity @LostAngel @TAB @MDT @Former-Member @Shaz51 @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Daisydreamer @cloudcore @utopia @pinklollipop15 and all forumites here. Well done on your achievements!

@LostAngel you always seem to achieve a lot in your day. Talk about Wonder person! I admire that and am glad to see you recognise each thing as an achievement which is quite remarkable and rewarding⭐️!

@Dimity I like how you’re into yoga which is something I’ve tried but have never been able to fully get my head around. That’s great that you like this. I’ve heard of Laughter Yoga which sounds like a fun activity to do. Have you heard of it? My housemate likes yoga as well but never does it - just likes to admire it although she would like to get back into it when her injuries settle down.

As for my achievements, today (Thursday) mine were;

- I used the time waiting for my housemate to have her podiatrist appointment to read up on sociological research methods as part of my sociology subject requirement for uni which I found quite challenging yet also boring as well.

- I had chicken cacciatore for dinner

- I worked on both my knitted beanie and my Crazy Blanket

- I took my night meds on time

- I had a shower

- I listened to Taylor Swift on my iPhone via Apple Music

- I fed my cat Mitz her dinner

- I posted on Thumbs up Thursday - Woohoo! to celebrate and recognise different forum members achievements to the forums.

That’s all from me tonight. Keep your wonderful achievements coming as I enjoy reading all of them!

Judi9877☺️💐⭐️
