The biggest reason why I am doing Sun Salutations is to better my mental health and to be ready to take on the day. I am firm believer of alternative medicine and having healthy chakras. Your body is sacred and you are given only one. In order to have a healthy physical body you absolutely need to have a healthy mind. Without the balance you simply have chaos. Below is a picture of my mediation altar, which is where I also do my yoga. Each item on my altar holds a significant meaning to me. I have my favorite photograph which is when we vacationed in California with my sister last year. The cross is from my confirmation when I was in high school. The wrestler on the match box represents my husband because he is a fan. The sand and vase are from our wedding which was used for our unity ceremony. The sticks in the vase are just incense sticks. It's multi functional. The stones on the base of the altar are my chakra stones to help with my mediation. And then we have the incense, sage, candles, and oil. I am a big sucker for smells. 

I don't have a target or end weight goal. I would really like to see myself below 200 pounds first before really thinking about it. But I also feel like having a reward for ever ten pounds lost will help keep up with the motivation. Or at least try anyway. I also included a quote of the day which I pick out after I do my sun salutations. 

So I want to know..
What do you do to help motivate you? Do you have any visuals?
What do you like to do to start your day of right?
