For the days when you need a little reminder that you do indeed got this...
Yesterday was a serious Monday of the Monday's... Things didn't go as planned, some disturbing things happened at work and I felt jittery and out of sorts all day. I have been practicing my meditation every morning before I get up and it's working great but all of that calm zen seemed to dissipate when things got out of control at work. I just couldn't shake that bad day feeling all day, no matter what I tried and then I got down on myself for not handling things better or getting more exercise, or maybe doing another quick meditation or some yoga. I feel like I am forgetting things I should easily remember and I am just out of sorts.
Last night before bed I did some quiet time, some deep breathing, I had some good food when I got home late from work and told myself it was just a day and tomorrow I will do better with managing my time, taking breaths, getting my exercise in and since I teach twice I will have to slow down and get in the yoga groove. You know that feeling you get when you play a card game and you end up with too many cards in your hand and it's hard to hold them all and see them clearly. Yeah that was yesterday...
Today is better, even though my meditation was interrupted towards the end. I taught a wonderful group of people yoga this morning, the traffic didn't give me anxiety and outbursts of yelling at stupid drivers and well it's payday so I am everyone's favorite person and my bank account has the cash flow in again... I'm working on visualizing just what I want and seeing it, feeling it and living it. I was contacted by an incredibly interesting woman for a yoga private session and I have this feeling she is going to impart all sorts of wisdom from her 73 years of living. And...... tomorrow is Woman of the Week...
If you are finding your days challenging, try to slow down, take some deep breaths and get outside for a quick walk, even 10 minutes is proven to help you feel better, be more effective in your work and bring a spring to your step. YOU GOT THIS!!!
