So, for three weeks I stuck to a program called “3 Week Yoga Retreat” and saw incredible changes in my body.
I was hungry for a break from my “normal” routine. I like to walk in my clients’ shoes every now and again because quite frankly, I’m not at the beginning of my journey and as a human I can TOTALLY forget what it’s like to be sore for the first time or feel hungry and deprived when shifting your diet around. Sometimes along our health and fitness journey we find ourselves needing to understand what it’s like to be back at square one. When I was asked “why” I would do such a thing (get strict with my food intake, cut out all alcohol, coffee, refined sugars, and processed junk + only do yoga everyday), I simply just responded that “I needed to…it was time.” I needed to do something for me…to get out of my comfort zone, but also to love on myself a little bit. Before on the LEFT and TODAY on the RIGHT!!! For the last three weeks I decided to challenge myself in this regard. We can practice behaviors that allow us to speak words of encouragement and kindness into our souls. We don’t have to beat ourselves up and listen to that negative voice stir within. But the best news of all is that we have the power to change that.
I think we all are…would you agree? I mean, don’t get me wrong, there are battles we face with our jobs, our coworkers, our families, friends, and especially fellow sharers of the road…but I think the biggest enemy often times lives within.
