Real Talk.I’m striving to be more open and vulnerable in my everyday life, and sometimes that comes out in strange ways…still hard to relate but suffice to say I had a rather…emotional yoga practice today. I’m sure it sounds ridiculous to some, but hot vinyasa is my main source of exercise and meditation, and I’ve been doing some form of yoga since I was 14. Today was not only physically taxing, because I felt physically weak and overwhelmed from my recovering cold & flu, but that lead right into my mental state as well. Wet eyes and wet biceps at the end, and it was a struggle to let my emotions open up and flow out, but they certainly did. Still reeling a little bit, but glad for the experience.The words that surfaced and tipped me over the edge? “Survival is laudable." I’ve been digesting that all day, and it’s powerful. My lifestyle, one without job security & one entirely dependent on my daily, personal ability to negotiable myself to others, is demanding and sometimes, I forget that. One can’t be strong all the time. Although dammit, it sure would be more convenient. -- source link
