Saturday. So challenging to make the time for myself to do my yoga and my writing when all I want to do is cuddle up with The Hubby and play chess. Yes, I said it. Chess. I'm learning chess. And it hurts my brain! My brain isn't used to thinking in this way and I'm intrigued. There's a large part of me that just wants to throw in the towel because I'm not automatically great at it. But then, along with my yoga practice, I want to persevere.
Also a challenge, the delicious french toast that The Hubby made for breakfast. But I have all the time in the world. I can wake up, write, eat breakfast, play some chess, and still do the yoga. And so I did.
Mom had a blood transfusion today because of low hemoglobin counts in her blood. So much suffering. The yoga is helping me manage my stress. I'm so grateful for it, because not everyone has a strong practice and tools like I do. I would really like for someday to be able to share these tools with others, but up until this point I feel like I've been forcing these tools down people's throats. What a delight to be off of social media and return to blogging, writing, and reading. As I am calling it, my "analog-lite" lifestyle. When I'm truly ready to share and teach (and not push, pull or force), I will get students again. Until then, I can focus on myself and this challenge.
