Getting Over It on FOX NEWS
Carol Alt’s “A Healthy You’ feat Lisa Kirchner’s “Yoga for Getting Over It.”
One of the things I love about yoga is, built right into what you call it, is the idea that it’s something ongoing. A practice. There is no one and done. Some days you hit your mat like a rock star, other days you long for svasana. That’s all part of the process, and part of what I had to learn. After two days without any, yesterday I could barely get in a half hour of practice, but as always, it worked anyway.
So that’s me up there, really wanting people to know you can heal yourself physically, mentally and emotionally. The simple truth is, the better you can be with yourself, the better you can be with others. Especially when you’re not getting what you want. (Or think you want!)
I’m writing this from Pittsburgh, because my mom is back in chemo and it seemed like the right thing to do to come back for a while. Not what I want at all, not any of it. But after a pretty shit day yesterday, movement and meditation totally reversed that and I had an amazing evening. Because no day is 100 percent anything. The more in touch I am with that truth, the easier it is to be open to the possibility that exists in every moment. Because time and again I sell myself short. My plans and designs just aren’t nearly as big or grand or terrifying as what the universe has to offer.
Getting over it, whatever “it” is, is incremental. Change can be radical, but mostly it’s really really small. We get way more opportunities to do little things differently. Every day in fact. What did you do differently today? I’m taking this to Facebook.
