Hey followers.
So, the time has come where I must present what I have been working on for the past couple cycles. I always dread this part of the project, as I am not that good when it comes to giving presentations in front of large groups of people. I always talk too fast, or don't annunciate enough. One time I just stopped talking for what felt like a minute because I completely forgot what I was supposed to say. But, I am happy to say that I feel confident with that I am presenting tomorrow. My ending is my favorite part, and no I'm not going to tell you what it is. You'll just have to wait and see.
There isn't really much to update you guys on from the past couple days. I've been trying to do yoga every chance I get, but with spring sports starting, I get home so late every night that I barely have time to finish all my homework. Obviously, the yoga helps me stay calm with all of that stress about being up until all hours of the night working on some biology lab or silly math worksheet, but it's still really stressing me out. And preparing for this, and the Les Mis project (which will be amazing because my group is amazing) were taking up a lot of time. Hopefully, it will all be worth it in the end. This entire project has already been worth it. The changes I have seen in my mood, stress, and anxiety are unlike anything I could have imagined.
My title for this post is vichara, which means reflection or continuous self-examination. This was perfect for this post, as it is my last post before I present. My presentation is all about my journey to where I am and what I have learned, in regards to yoga and the brain, but also what I have learned about myself.
Well, wish me luck with my presentation tomorrow. I'll be back on to tell you guys how it went!
Namaste.
Hi! I think it's amazing how yoga has helped lower your stress and anxiety levels. You're going to walk away from this project with something really valuable/applicable in your life. I can't wait to see you present! Your Ted Talk will be great, own that stage!
ReplyDeleteLizzy, your TED talk was absolutely amazing! I'm glad yoga could calm you down and lower your anxiety levels. I will need to come over so you can work some yoga magic on me! Also, I just saw a new hot yoga studio opening on Bethlehem Pike and thought of you. Thought you might want to check it out!
ReplyDeleteHey Liz,
ReplyDeleteI was a little upset you didn't wear the blue dress you always wear for your presentations and talk about how blue is a calming color to work with your theme of relaxation with yoga!! Anyway, you did fantastic and I am slightly motivated to do yoga... but not enough to actually do it. Just enough to think about doing it and trying not to think about how much I want to eat ice cream and sleep. Hope you become a hot yoga instructor... okay that sounded better in my head.
