Stretched Thin?

"If you don't take care of yourself, the universe will overtake that responsibility for you." ~LT

Did you know it is possible to stretch yourself so thin that your body physically shuts down? I've always known this, but today made me really think about what Ive been doing. Whether it is internal or external, our universe has a way of stopping us in our tracks if we refuse to take care ourselves. We've all seen this. People get sick, injure themselves & have to break from busy schedules, etc. The month of April seemed to be exhausting for all of us. Rushing for the summer we have pushed our limits & disregarded our bodies. I myself am learning to take more time for myself in order to heal so I can heal others. What are you doing?

You have two choices: Be the change you wish to see or be the person you are now that is watching the 60 year old next to you kick your ass crossing the finish line. Today, I learned while watching an older man crush me in a workout that yoga IS NOT the only thing that'll keep me alive at the end of my days, but putting myself first will! We have those gut feelings, we just need to listen...

Poses that came to mind are two that relate to being stretched too thin (Trikonasana) & being able to open our throats in order to communicate better with ourselves & others (Matsyasana).

Fish Pose- Matsyasana

Triangle Pose- Trikonasana

Happy Friday!!
