Becoming Still – Inside

Greatest moment of joy today? Cycling back home from yoga class and noticing how still I had become inside.

This day had brought with it so many unpleasant feelings. Nagging and doubts and the need to fill myself with something: more coffee, more food, sweet things, water, more coffee… Arrgh – living felt like a chore today; carrying myself around was a chore.

When I arrived at the yoga studio, I so welcomed the hot yoga class. I knew it would be tough and that was just what I needed. It helps to create balance – and as it turned out stillness.

The big, wild, feral, crazy cat I resembled when coming into the studio turned into a sweet, calm, purring cat when coming out.

Now it’s into the shower and off to bed – hopefully I’ll purr all night and wake up to my usual positive self!
