Happy Day 1 of the #mindbodyyogachallenge!

Today’s theme: motivation

Today’s affirmation: I have the motivation within myself to do anything I put my mind to.

Yoga Assignment: 5 sun salutations in a row

Motivation can be fleeting. You get really excited about a workout routine, a new project, a goal. It can be hard to keep up the stamina though!

That’s what today is about….asking yourself what motivates you? What challenges you in a way that propels you forward?

I set my alarm early (5:50 MST), got up to do a 20 min yoga flow that ended with 5 sun salutations (today’s Yoga Assignment for you!) When I start my day with yoga, I feel so energized, focused, ready to begin! Plus, knowing that it was Day 1 of this challenge got me pumped. What motivates you? Are you motivated by others? By music? By money? What gets you up and raring to go?

There’s motivation in motivating, so try 5 sun salutations in a row and see how you feel! Follow me @clawrencester & @mamaste on instagram along our 21 day challenge. There’s strength in numbers!!
