I’m not the most active yogi but I do find it to be really restorative — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. I’ve also had a sore shoulder lately, in large part due to stress, and yoga has felt incredible to stretch it out and help me move my body in positive ways. It’s a great indoor activity on these days when leaving the house feels unpleasant.
And I’m pretty sure it’s that my job is draining me of my life force at this point lol Restorative or yin yoga helps me with this as counterintuitive as it may sound because it forces me to truly and deeply rest but I’ve been slacking lately!!
I specifically made plans this year to be alone on my actual birthday. And it’s been so nice. The best in years, no tears! I got up early to walk around a wildflower garden, tried a new coffee shop. Read a lot. Thrifted. Sushi for dinner and a peach crepe for dessert. The only thing missing was that I never went and celebrated with my favorite paintings at the museum but I’ll have a belated party with them later. Happy birthday to me.
