What We Get to Do (from 2016)
I get to go to yoga twice this week. Notice: I do not HAVE to go to yoga. I am not simply going to yoga. I GET to go.
As I have said many times before, yoga is not exactly my strong point. The odds are against my ever achieving a lovely lotus, a perfect pigeon, or an other than mangy mutt of a downward dog. I love it anyway.
Of course, I also love biking and skiing and other things that come more naturally to me, but learning to take joy in activities at which I do not excel has been transformative for my head. I can carry that transformation into all of my activities, even the ones I am good at, because I learn more when I release attachment to my own performance and its rating relative to perfect.
What else do we get to do this week to create health in our bodies?
