A Little Less Toxic

A new semester has started and a whole new schedule of work, school, and craziness has commenced.  I'm excited for my classes and in particular, my yoga class.  I was worried that it was going to be too weird, and all I want to do is become more limber.  So far, it has been wonderful.  Yesterday, the instructor shared some very interesting information.  Stress causes us to forget to take less and less deep, full breaths every hour of every day.  She reminded us to be conscious of breathing more fully and readily when feeling 'stressed.'  She challenged us to 'breathe deeply several times' when we feel we are becoming grumpy, irritable, in short, when we feel like we are becoming 'toxic.'

I really appreciated that challenge and reminder to take control of our faculties and be proactive in our lives as we face any number of life's challenges.  When feeling angry, take a few breaths to make sure that's how we really feel.  When attempting to do homework, or dealing with work issues, take a few breaths, and the solution will fall into place, or you will be clear headed enough to make wise decisions.  I'm making a goal to be less toxic in my day to day life.

A little less toxic, and a lot more breathing in life!  Stay Sexy!
