Carrying Weight: Yoga in my own hotel room: March 6, 2017: Bilson, UK

I noticed in yoga class last week I was carrying unnecessary weight and it doesn't feel good. What I love about the practice is that it allows for self responsibility and self correction. As I sit today after a long, cold, wet tour, I notice that in spite of it all, my body feels great. 

And I'm super grateful.

I've made some hard choices like stepping away from the pastries and the cheeses and taking long walks when time allows. Yet it doesn't feel like I'm missing out or sacrificing; I've been fully enjoying myself. 

I've learned to do this on the yoga mat. I'm learning to make better, more healthy choices when I can be more aware.

I've become painfully aware of a deeper weight though, and this is a more daunting task to drop. This trip to England I was hoping David would lighten his load but looking literally into his  past.

And the grumpier he gets, the more of a cheerleader I become.

I care more about it all than he does it seems, and that's the weight I gotta drop for real.

Turning to a little yoga this morning to assist me in returning to self care. Here's a little sequence that made a huge difference.

Turning to taking care of myself and to things I love like getting home to my puppies

And brighter days all around
