Sheeps New Years resolution = eat grass, be a realist

A lot of our goals and expectations for ourselves are too high. Its like the New Years resolution pitfall, on one hand its a good for introspection and forward planning. But be real about what you can and want to achieve. Setting yourself up to fail is not fun in the long run, you just become disappointed in yourself. Always aim high but be a realist at the same time like Gerald the sheep here :)

What I find that works is to start slow, realistic goals that is not setting you up to fail. IE: 1 day a week in the gym for 3 weeks, see how you feel then maybe move to 2 time, and 3 times, etc. It is good to get something part of your routine vs yo-yo...go big, see some results and quit. Be real and honest with yourself, you know you....or you should start to.

Be vulnerable by taking action but like with anything take baby steps - in life you might want a career change so start by interviewing while you have a job just to get use to the process again, to talk about yourself and see whats doing. Or maybe take a night class just to see if going to school is a good option and/or if a new potential topic of interest is a good change for you. Online date if a relationship is something you want to find (even through I am doing it and its a nightmare but its outside my comfort zone and thats where magic can happen).

Same thing with yoga, slowly try new postures and moves. But going too fast can result in injury to your body and your ego.

Prasarita Padottanasana (spread out, foot, intense stretch, posture): Pictured below. Your hamstrings will determine how far you should go into this posture. Keeping your back straight always, so bending your knees to get your head on the floor is ok, and over time you will be able to straighten your legs and put your forehead on the floor. No need to rush to any point of any posture; you really do get the same benefits once you hit your edge, pushing is your ego talking and it could cause an injury.

Eventually another thing to try Tripod Headstand from this posture (lifting your feet in the air), right now this is out of my comfort zone but I will be trying this as my head is firming on the ground and its time to find some magic.
