19-25 March 2024 a.k.a. Day 12-18 of #dailybonjoviyoga I did 38 minutes of Daily Bon Jovi Yoga, with 🎶📀 1984 1⃣Bon Jovi- Bon Jovi album💘 47 minutes with 🎶📀Bon Jovi (1985) 🌋Fahrenheit🔥 44 minutes with 🎶📀Bon Jovi (1986) 🚧Slippery When Wet album🚧 40 minutes with 🎶📀Bon Jovi (2015) 🌉🔥Burning Bridges📦 And 48 minutes with 🎶📀Bon Jovi (2020) 🌎2020😷 Which means from the 7 days I did yoga on five. Progress! Last time I wrote you, I hit three out of seven. “Not even halfway there,” I sulked, referencing of course the lyrics of Livin’ on a Prayer. But this week your girl has clearly picked up the pace and I would even say I am on fire, because I came up with a SYSTEM! Oh…. I forgot how much I love a good system, don’t you? Now I wasn’t able to execute it fully, yet. It was a work-in-progress, that I didn’t even know I was creating until it was almost finished, and all it needed was me filling in a few blank spots. But I now have 7 days of yoga, all mapped out, with my publicly available schedules, as I promised at the beginning this project would not have materials that I have not shared online; And I teamed them up with Bon Jovi’s top 7 shortest studio albums. So I have a lineup of 7 Bon Jovi albums with 7 schedules. And either I will stick to this for a few months and then change it as a whole, or perhaps introduce some longer albums on days I have more time; I don’t know yet. I do know I’m pushing all live discs, the 2004 box set, “disc 2 extras”, and definitely all their greatest hits albums all the way to the back. I mean we have 365 days! Who knows what deviance is called for at later stages. 😉 Now without further ado, here is the first 7 Day Bundle of #dailybonjoviyoga

1/7 38 minutes

🎶📀 1984 1⃣Bon Jovi- Bon Jovi album💘 38:33 schedule 8 from the booklet Daily Bon Jovi Yoga This is almost like a “cheat day”; Only restorative poses, and you will probably still have worked through them before you would have to flip your vinyl record to the other side. Yoga always ends with a long relaxation, so you could just make it an XXL one, or alternatively add in some extra poses. It’s YOUR cheat day!

2/7 40 minutes

🎶📀Bon Jovi (2015) 🌉🔥Burning Bridges📦 40:22 AM Ulrica Norberg schedule + the (day 1) restorative schedule 8 from the booklet Daily Bon Jovi Yoga Text day 2/7 to follow in future blogpost.

3/7 44 minutes

🎶📀Bon Jovi (1986) 🚧Slippery When Wet album🚧 43:49 PM Ulrica Norberg schedule + the (day 1) restorative schedule 8 from the booklet Daily Bon Jovi Yoga Text day 3/7 to follow in future blogpost.

4/7 47 minutes

🎶📀Bon Jovi (1985) 🌋Fahrenheit🔥 47:10 Yoga Miracles from the otherwise still not published booklet/blog post The 9 Steps of Yoga (but I’ll get to finishing the booklet somewhere these 365 days, that’s for sure!). Yoga Miracles is definitely somewhat of an acquired taste, but since I forced myself to think along the lines of “In a post-apocalyptic world; What would people NEED to know about yoga?” You can understand I could not be taking half measures here. If my The 9 Steps of Yoga is the only yoga book surviving our civilization, it better be good, right? And this series works miracles.

5/7 48 minutes

🎶📀Bon Jovi (2020) 🌎2020😷 48:08 Reboot Vintage Yoga 2009 Text day 5/7 to follow in future blogpost.

6/7 49 minutes

🎶📀Bon Jovi (2002) 📡Bounce🪨 49:10 Date night with Wall Text day 6/7 to follow in future blogpost.

7/7 50 minutes

🎶📀Bon Jovi (2005) 🟥Have a Nice Day😡🥊 49:40 Schedules 6 + 7 from the booklet Daily Bon Jovi Yoga Text day 7/7 to follow in future blogpost.

To be continued!

So I don’t know about you, but I think last week was absolutely 🔥lit🔥, having all these results. Five yoga sessions in 7 days AND an apocalypse-proof framework that I already absolute adore doing yoga with. I’ll also be picking up making yoga videos for YouTube channel (including always a nice Life lessons in Bon Jovi songs video, to balance it out!) to support this series. So subscribe there if you haven’t already.

13+14+16 March 2024 a.k.a. Day 6,7 and 9 of 365 days of #dailybonjoviyoga I did 47 minutes of Daily Bon Jovi Yoga, with 🎶📀Bon Jovi (1992 bonus cd) Live cd 2 from 🛐 Keep the Faith album✝️ and 48 minutes with 🎶📀Jon Bon Jovi (1990) 🏜️Blaze of Glory album🏍️🦅🏜️🌵 and 43 minutes with 🎶📀Bon Jovi (1986) 🚧Slippery When Wet album🚧 Despite this challenge, I missed my Daily Bon Jovi Yoga practice at Monday 11 March, Tuesday 12, Friday 15th and Sunday 17 March (day 10). Meaning that from day 4 to day 10, I only did yoga 3 days out of 7 days. That is not even halfway there.  But the good news definitely is, I am actually loving it. And more importantly, I knew it would be incredibly difficult to fit into my schedule. That was the whole point! So I’m on track, in that respect. Because more than doing #dailybonjoviyoga, I desire the life designed around doing Daily Bon Jovi Yoga. I know it’s going to require drastic changes, and these have not been implemented yet, obviously. But I’m definitely getting there, we’ll make it I swear.

9+10 March 2024 a.k.a. Day 2 and 3 of 365 days of #dailybonjoviyoga I did 40 minutes of Daily Bon Jovi Yoga, with 🎶📀Bon Jovi 🌉🔥Burning Bridges (2015)📦 and 70 minutes 🎶📀Bon Jovi 🏚️This House Is Not For Sale (2016)🙈 Why I chose these albums: On Saturday I chose Burning Bridges because I was feeling so badly, and the vibe of Burning Bridges was the closest I could find to saying: “Just lost two months and possibly a handful of relationships (among which ones that will be missed) on a project I dropped like a hot potato today.” In 2015, being contractually obliged to deliver an album, Jon had thrown in the audio files in a brown paper bag (hence the emoji of a brown paper box, the closest I could find!) And he intended that to be the last thing he ever did for the record company. Burning Bridges was the album born under the most bleak  of circumstances. And on Sunday I chose its follow-up This House Is Not For Sale, which was released by the same record company. I don’t know exactly how it worked, because the labels appear differently, but it was a mother-daughter company, kind of a change. It was a happy ending, and Bon Jovi did not change companies. I also chose This House Is Not For Sale, because I had time for a longer practice and I only own this album in an extended version.  

God Bless This Mess

👩🏼‍💻 the day 2+3 story 

. The duo Burning Bridges (2015) and This House Is Not For Sale (2016) – an album followed by a tour with the same name that would run from 2016 to 2019- symbolize both the all-time low of Jon Bon Jovi dropping of the Burning Bridges album with the record company, as well as the story of the band’s resurrection with This House Is Not For Sale. On Saturday I chose the album Burning Bridges (2015) because I too, was at my 2024 low point. Not counting January first, when I made actual pictures of my crying run-mascara raccoon face, so that I would remember to never let it get to this again! (which it did not) But I also laid out 2016’s This House Is Not For Sale for Sunday, hoping I too, would have a resurrection that would last me for years to come! It did not disappoint.   Because although it had been more wishful thinking than trusting I would shift into a more positive mindset, that is exactly what happened today. Sacrificing a good part of the night to intense feelings of restlessness and doom, feelings which could not be pinpointed to having an exact cause, the night also brought me new insights into ( I kid you not) the nature of reality. The why, of my final four years, six years maybe even seven years, feeling like a slippery slope of contemporary doom. A feeling of something having its fangs in me that is not one of the older demons (of which I have at least one). A foe a younger me has never needed to face, and probably because of that, one I have rarely named, nor even tried to express what it was. The good news is: Last night I found out what it is, that has been disrupting my life from the deepest layers, messing with my sense of reality. The bad news is: It is something so common, now in the modern world, it will be hard to live without. In particular because I am a writer, and consider myself a contemporary writer too. Not a writer of novels or non-fiction which would be outdated the moment they hit the shelves. In my opinion, a contemporary writer, is a blogger. And, also in my opinion, my reality, your reality, everyone’s reality but some no doubt will be more prone to its flaws than others, has gotten severely disturbed, creating not one but three realities; The reality of the “real world”, the part that has not changed since the 20th century. And the two new realities, the Bee Hive (email, Facebook, Whatsapp) and the Matrix (internet at large, Twitter, YouTube and so on) I spent the best part of my day writing about these worlds. Writing, about the two new levels of the Bee Hive and the Matrix. And how having become aware is in my opinion the first step, to full recovery. If you would like to learn more, you can read my article here: I found the World Between Worlds | 20th Century Lives, Bee Hive and Matrix And I also went out for a celebration today, in the real world, and did not make any photos because I did not want to take anything away from the real world experience. I had gifted this experience to someone, and taking a picture even before they arrived or after we had parted, no longer felt right. The real world felt more sacred than ever. Now of course, it is not a miracle cure, realizing there are three worlds. All the pain of the past weeks, of this whole year even ever since the first of January- it is not gone. And it’s almost as if I am more aware that the toughest world really is, the real one. There is a reason we are so eager to disappear into all these extra communication devices. The real world, reality, it bites. More often than not, I feel social interaction is like claws going through my aura! It feels so intense, so painful. And it seems like ever since the pandemic it has gotten worse. Like I feel it more intensely, like my guard no longer functions. So did I feel perfect today? No. Am I healed, fully confident I am going to crush it at any layer, of reality? The real world, the bee hive, the matrix? No. But I was feeling much better this Sunday, than I was Saturday. It was literally, a world of difference. And the good news was, that painful as it still was, I was feeling it all, in the real world. Old-fashioned, 20th century, and terribly messy.

. “I must confess, I’ve lived, I’ve died
God bless this mess, this mess is mine”

God Bless This Mess, Bon Jovi
