This week we have another round of Vintage GMW. These are the 2011 posts that survived a website crash back in December and made GMW what it is today. Check back periodically as I will be posting the best of the best.
Sometimes life gets in the way…
With everything we always have going on in our lives – work, stress, obligations, duties, responsibilities, appointments, relationships, etc. – it can become very easy to let our emotions get the best of us.
Everyone has bad days at work, ominous deadlines and days where they just feel generally unmotivated and sad. And you can definitely count on life throwing you a few curve balls – after all, that’s what makes it interesting.
We become exhausted, cranky and anxious because we either have too much going on or things just don’t seem to be going our way. This not only hinders our psychological well-being, it also affects our physical health in negative ways.
Yoga has taught me that when this happens the best thing to do is just clothes your eyes and listen to your breath in an effort to immediately start calming the mind. The rest requires somewhat of a mind shift as we learn how to deal on our journey into adulthood.
If you are ever feeling stressed, overwhelmed or generally sad check out some of these great blog posts. I promise they will help lift your spirits and give you a new perspective on life.
