I am starting Bindu Wiles' 21-5-800 challenge tomorrow.
What is it?
21 days. 5 days of yoga a week. 800 words a day.
Why am I doing it?
Because I miss my life and feeling like me. I have gotten so far from the core of me that I am floating.
And I want to come back to earth. Back to life. Back to me.
I've never been one for yoga. But as I heal from my injury, I realize that sometimes you have to accept the things you cannot do and find things that you can. I cannot run. But I can do yoga. And that's a really positive thing.
I have always been a writer but have been so busy with life and work and excuses that I forget to write just for the sake of writing. I write for money. I write for a job. I write to say Happy Birthday and Wish You Were Here. But I rarely write for me. For the sake of writing. For the amazing feeling of a great sentence leaving my brain, travelling down my arm, and into my pen.
800 words a day for 21 days.
I feel some great little novellas coming on.
I'll keep you posted on how I fare.
I'm going in with all I have and hopefully coming out in 21 days a little more like me, a little less jaded, and a lot more accepting of the way things are and massively more optimistic about the way things can be if only I put my heart into it.
