Why I need yoga today

an excerpt from my journal today:

I am feeling...Overwhelmed.  But no, I’m not using that word because it’s too easy to let yourself off the hook when you say you’re overwhelmed, make it somebody else’s responsibility.  I’m not overwhelmed, not truly.  I can handle this all.  It’s just a lot and I need to think.  no, not to think.  to stop.  to breathe.  I need to remember to breathe.  I need to do yoga.  Yoga is very very good for me. It helps keep me sane.  It reminds me to breathe.  It reminds me that I’m here, only here, right now, only now, doing this. This is my body, I am moving this way, breathing this way, breathing, strong, breathing, healthy, doing good things for my body so I can go back into my day with fresh breath, and new awareness of my strength, new vigor and tenacity, fresh perspective and clarity.  Yoga. Yoga. Yoga.
