A Critical Critique of Adora Marie

My journey starts today. A vastly different one than say starting college or a new career. I am retraining my body and mind to be more self-aware and emotionally intelligent.

I want the AM Yoga Blog to be my selfish journey towards a better life. I want my better life to include good health (weight management, clean diet, managing labs), a focus on wellness (meditation, self-care) with meaningful and deep relationships.

I want the AM Yoga Site to be a completely online modular yoga practice site with time management techniques and live classes to improve your practice. And that, is truly only the beginning. For this is my life’s purpose: to teach and educate so that other’s may have the courage to complete their life’s mission/goals/calling.

Together, these create the AM Yoga Network. This is certainly a lofty goal and I’m certainly not the person to run it - yet. Through this blog I want to unlock my own potential to live my best life. I know this blog will allow me to focus, stay on track and remember during the most difficult parts why I started doing this in the first place. To be that teacher, I need to retrain and rethink my entire daily routine.

---

• I currently live a sedentary lifestyle, which I hate but secretly gives me immense pleasure.

• I have a terrible relationship with food.

• I always feel so stressed out, panicked, anxious and fearful - even when I shouldn’t be.

• I don’t take very good care of myself if I am being completely honest.

• My weight is really out of control. I have gained nearly 20 lbs. each year I have been working.

• I don’t have a very good work-life balance. I allow my teacher lifestyle to consume my life and at all costs.

• I allow those who don’t care about me control what I do from day to day and allow distractions to keep me from accomplishing my goals.

• I’m not certified to be a fitness trainer or a yoga instructor and certainly need the education to help me get there.

• I don’t practice or have any current hobbies I do for fun anything on a daily basis, except my lesson crafting.

• I do love all varieties of fitness!

• I do like learning.

• I do want to help and teach others.

• I’m not that patient with myself or other adults.

• I want more meaningful relationships - but I have no clue how.

• I do want all of life’s simple and extraordinary moments to be accessible to everyone.

Through this very personal blog of mine - I want to change (or encourage) all of these things and so much more. It’s hard to know where you’re suppose to start, until you write down everything about yourself. I hope you join me on my journey and find it helps you too.
