40 Days of Hot Yoga.
Two months ago a few of us embarked on a 40 day challenge at
Pura Vida. We gave ourselves eight weeks
to practice yoga for a minimum of five days per week to reach the full 40 days. With our busy lives, most of us didn’t quite
realize how committed we would have to be to accomplish such a goal. When you consider having to work all day,
take care of our kids, pets, and our homes.
A few of you got sick along the way and were set back almost
instantly. Others got distracted with
social events and just couldn’t pass it up.
And yet others were able to see it through and finish right on
time.
Congratulations to those of you who
accomplished your goals. I don’t need to
tell you how great you must feel at this point.
Feeling lighter, stronger, accomplished and better then when you first started. You should be very proud of yourselves and
this should give you an indication of what you’re capable of doing when you set
your mind on something and simply go after it.
This is how effective you can be when you’re focused and
determined. Congrats!!!! Awesome job….
For those of you who had a difficult
time finishing today, we congratulate you as well. The truth is that it takes guts to take on a commitment
such as this one. Practicing yoga for 40
days is not that simple and unfortunately sometimes life gets in the way. But that’s exactly what will continue to
happen for the rest of our lives. It
will always get in the way be it a social invitation to an event or getting
sick and not feeling so good. The whole
point of taking on the 40 day challenge was to help you realize something about
the importance you place on your health.
Your commitment to finishing what you started. So, I will keep your names on the board until
you finish your 40 days. Not to point
out that you didn’t finish, but to remind you that you will see this
through. That you won’t simply walk away
with reasons and excuses for not finishing.
All of you have good reasons for not finishing on time, but that doesn’t
mean you won’t finish. The challenge
wasn’t intended to be a stupid diet. It
is intended for you to set the bar high and keep up with your health. To learn not to quit or give up just because
you feel bad. Please. We all feel bad from time to time, it doesn’t
mean shit. I don’t care if you have one
more day to go or ten days to go. Get
your butts into the studio and finish what you started. I want everyone’s name to be circled on that
board. I expect you in there today! You guys know I say this with love. There will not be one person on that board
who is allowed to quit. Get in here and
prove to yourself that you’re a finisher.
Break the habits that hold you back and raise the bar for yourself. I’ll see you guys tonight. Congratulations everyone.
To your health & success,
Marco Gamez
