This challenge within a challenge was much harder than I thought it would be. When you turn the great spotlight of awareness on your self, it reveals quite a bit. As Mitchel said, the path of least resistance is to focus on the negative. Despite writing some positive affirmations in my journal, by Saturday morning I was wallowing in a strange cloud of misery (and for no apparent reason !) all I could think about is what I haven’t accomplished yet.
Tracy’s sunny Saturday morning class was just what I needed to change my perspective. Everyone is so open and smiling when they arrive for class, it just fills the studio with positive energy. At the end of class Tracy said… “the point of yoga is not to make you feel inadequate.” Aha! That insight allowed me to really enjoy and appreciate what I am able to do right now…and to look forward with delight. The Sunday workshop was wonderful, and I can’t wait for Liz’s class tonight.
