Day 11/365 Gentle Yoga Flow Challenge

Good morning and Tau Matia, Today is day 11 of my practice. I’m feeling more hopeful about my commitment to this challenge. I haven’t fizzled out and I’m still excited about what I decided to take on. My days feel a lot more meaningful because I committed to something that is going to require a daily dose of mediation and movement. This is healthy medicine for every part of my being. There is nothing about this practice that should or will illicit feelings of despair and anxiety. This is all just to feel better! I love feeling better about anything. There are some moments of pain during the practice but with a little help with breath and slow moving I can move past those physical road blocks. I’ve been accessing my emotions more. Less feelings of numbness, more feelings of what I’m feeling. Sometimes strong feelings of sadness arise but I aim to channel that with long periods of breath and relaxation. I woke up from a nap yesterday feeling anxious, sad, and disappointed in myself for not trusting myself to do what I needed to do to protect my family. I love to love but I have to learn to cut off that love when the feelings aren’t being reciprocated. Here I am now serving self love on a yoga mat. I give thanks for this practice. Thank you, Gabrielle
