Set Higher Standards by YogiRavi

We are always changing. In fact, science shows that the very cells in our own body are constantly regenerating. Every day our skin is regenerating itself. Our internal organs are recycled every few months. Bones are replenished. Blood is create. Old cells are broken down and replaced with new cells. In fact, our entire bodies, from head to toe, are replaced at a cellular level every 7 to 10 years!

Science has shown this to be true. It also shows that it really is never to late to make a fresh start. We are never really “set in our ways.” Old dogs can learn just as many tricks as young dogs…sometimes more!

If you want to take your life in a different direction – improve your physical shape, be happier ever day, laugh more, create a new career, create a new and better way of being with your family, anything – decide and take action to make it happen. A fresh start is always possible – you can always decide and become what you want to be.

Quick post – it’s been a while since I last wrote and I’ve recently discovered something so simple that I just have to share. Sleep. I’ve been very busy of late, with a new job at work, a bunch of travel, teaching yoga and taking some workshops, and getting ready for an upcoming trip to India. The one thing that has been lacking is sleep – and I’ve been getting by on 5-6 hours a night pretty consistently for the past several weeks.

I’ve noticed that I’ve definitely been a lot more irritable, less energized and haven’t been as mental sharp and generally optimistic about things.

Starting last Friday, I’ve been making it a point to sleep a LOT. This means getting to bed by 10pm at the latest and getting a solid 9 hours every day (over the weekend I got 12 hours a night….which was a bit too much). The change is dramatic. I find that my entire day goes better and I feel generally happier, mentally tuned in and my relationships with people also seem more connected.

Sleep is important….speaking of which…gotta go to bed soon…teaching yoga in the morning!
