I've been MIA on this here blog for a hot minute. Ha, see what I did there, hot... minute.
And, tonight while in class I got to thinking. I thought about how when I was doing my 30 day challenge, so much of the benefit that I took away from the challenge was in the blog reflection after the class.
So, today in class, the instructor said something that struck me. He's said this before, because, well, he always has the same anecdotes, but it struck me differently today. When the standing series is over and we go into our first savasana, he always tells the class that this is the time for us to listen to our bodies and breath through the fleeing feeling. You know that uneasiness you get, the crazy upset feeling, this is when you teach yourself to breathe through it.
And, you know, it's true. If I'm willing to stop and think about the lessons I'm learning in yoga and I am willing to try to apply it to my life then the rest of the relationships in my life will be better for it.
Lately, I've not been dealing with unexpected delays or stresses. I've been quick to flip a switch and that isn't fair to the people who spend time with me. I'm going to start applying yoga to my life and breathe through that feeling you get in your stomach, when something just isn't right.
