Sun, sea and Training

MO:

Remember: October 7-October 14,

you can have all of this.

Growing up :)

Back home after a great weekend with MOJO yoga TT :)

I felt my noes and sinuses Friday morning, and it didn't get any better during the weekend...

Mo insisted on it being alergy but I have decided NOT to have alergy :)

Sunday night was spent being awake, not being able to sleep, finaly waking up with even more congestion :(
At least I made a GROWN UP decision - and canceld al my privates and classes ( although it hurt to do this).
A month ago I wouldn't have done this... I would have worked until I litteraly couldn't get myself out of bed!!!
Not very smart and longterm wise I know!

So a proud Jo is now saying good night with some super C power :)




Ps do you have plans for the 13-14/5:? Join me in Varberg at Asia Spa - it is going to be powerful and soulful :)

Love Jo

Mojo final exams

Morning in Ljungsbro and the yogis are preparing fir their last supper... Oh no sorry, we mean last performance, or no, teaching their part :)




As we just read through what part of the class each participant was about to teach (let me tell you that Mojo yoga concists of 3 waves!), I read out loud to the trembling yogis:
- and Martina, wave 6!!!

Super silence in the room (as there is NO wave 6!!)

Mojo - making the impossible Possible ;)

INSPIRATION vs MOTIVATION

Deepak Chopra sid INSPIRATION is IRREVERSIBLE!!!
If you want to move/change someone - You have to INSPIRE them, not MOTIVATE!

And I agree!

I'm in a very interesting phase right now. After 3 weeks of 6hours yoga each day in NYC and landing back in Gothenburg i find it really hard to go in and do a "WORKOUT". At the moment it doesn't inspire me.
And when things don't inspire me I have a REALLY hard time DOING them!
Part of me becomes really frustrated over this behaviour and thinks - Come on Woman, get yourself together and just DO IT.
The other part of me says - chill - Listen to your body and soul, it talks to you for a reason, pay attention.

I guess I am a person who very much EITHER DOES IT OR NOT. The inbetween is very hard for me. And then ADD the ACCEPTING part... phew... Hard!

Go for a run - sure why not! But at the moment I'd rather sit and breath
Go do a BP class - yeah I could, but the idea of lifting things in a room filled with people, up and down to a set pace, in a set way, knowing exactly what will happen... I'd rather watch the clouds pass by
Go to a yoga class - I did, and I am being honest here, please it's not you, it is ME. But after getting used the the amazing teachers and classes in NYC there is NO class that I feel the SPANDA and PRANA to attend (and YES I have tried)... I'd rather meditate

This is really hard for me - Cause I am a person used to MOVING and at the moment I can't see any point in the MOVING for the sake of MOVING or for the sake of getting a tight ass - It just doesn't inspire me!!!

This is my mantra:

"Patience is waiting.

Not passively waiting.

That is laziness.

But to keep going when the going is hard and slow - that is patience."

What about you?

Love Jo

Blackmail, preparations and new pants

MO:

My day in pictures:

Beautiful, beautiful spring has reached Järntorget

New outifit.

T-shirt Loft and pants Maison Scotch.

Love them or hate them.

This is definitely an "either - or" pant.

They are dead comfy anyway.

When my husband sees me wearing trousers like this, he can´t help himself, but always goes:

"Dhooo-dho-dho-dho..dho-dho..dho-dho...Can´t touch this...

"Dhooo-dho-dho-dho..dho-dho..dho-dho...Hammer time!"

Bedtime for the Bear

MO:

LOOOONG day.

Good day.

Better mood, despite a 600SEK parking ticket start of the day.

Lots of stuff done.

Great PT-session.

3 fab classes.

Meetings with GREAT people.

New clothes.

MOJO YOGA manual finished.

EXCITING projects on their way.

And now?

Bedtime for the Bear.

Sleep tight, don´t let the bed bugs bite.

BE IT

I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.

So -
Never complain. Never explain!!!

Own it ;)

LOVE Jo

Any requests/questions out there:?

Fed up. Pissed off. F***ing enough now.

MO:

I have to admit: It´s hard to be a trooper when the cough is back for the 4th? 5th? time this year...

Actually, it pisses me off so badly that my mood has definitely been affected over the last couple of days.

Back on asthma medication, double intake of all the vitamins and minerals I can get my hands on, plus lots of angry, moody, dark thoughts.

To hell with positive thinking.

I need a bloody good moan now.

And my best new friend in this moment?

Barbara Ehrenreich´s "Smile or Die, How Positive Thinking Fooled America and the World".

Especially chapter six: "Positive Psychology:The Science of Happiness" makes me laugh out loud. Even now.

Here´s an extract from the Sunday Times´ review of the book:

"Americans, in order to have a nice day, every day, have to consume two-thirds of the world’s antidepressants, along with all those burgers and that horrible “cheese”. And as well as gobbling Prozac, they have to lie to themselves a great deal. Life coaches counsel them to look in the mirror every morning and “make affirmations” such as “I am successful! I am beautiful! I love myself!” Such statements would strike any sane person as ludicrous, boastful and untrue. Yet millions of Americans do this. The US market in “motivational products” is worth a staggering $21 billion a year."

Make A WISH

GRATEFUL for LIFE - YES!!!

This is it you know !!!


Bird poo on my feet in Venice Beach - Lucky?

It’s not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned; and not what we profess but what we practice that gives us integrity.

Thinking and planning my 2nd half of 2010

What classes to teach?
Where?
What times?
and so on...
Any requests?

MUCH LOVE JO

Pea for brains

MO:
That's what happens with a head full of pollen...
Thanks to Mango who lifted my spirit sky high as he joined my 3 classes tonight!

I managed to leave home without both this:

...my music!...and this:

...my clothes!!!

Wearing an "emergency" outfit and playing an old class I found in the car, it all worked out in the end.

What will become of me?

Will I become one of those parents who forgets their child in the supermarket next??

Amazing

MO:
What an amazing day it's been.
Little guy got me up at 7am, so by 10.00 I had already done my 7k run. Rest of the day was spent shopping for a new couch (came back without couch but with new kitchen chairs) and elk bbq-ing in the country.
Had to look for a disappeared leather jacket in the attic. Didn't find said jacket, but realized I need to arrange a garage sale b4 the roof of my parents house gives in...
So.much.stuff.
From 1980-1999. Clothes, records, photos, shoes, diaries, bags, etc etc....

Memoribillia...
