Tiffany, Day 2

An emotional rollercoaster, very full day. In the mid afternoon, as my energy was waning- my husband gently put his (good) hand on my shoulder and asked- "Did you do that thing you challenged yourself to do yet today? Why don't you go outside now while the baby is napping and enjoy the sunshine?"

Sun salutation #1 felt a little stiff. I totally lost my way through #2 and even almost fell over once. So for #3 I slowed the heck down, focused on my breathing and used the noises around me (the droning of a plane, the discussion of 2 crows, a far off siren) to help myself hold poses a little longer. Then I sank into shavasana and allowed the world to continue spinning without my mindful thoughts of it. Bliss.

Tiffany, Day 1

So it takes less than 10 minutes. that's all. I rushed the first one. I connected to my breath on the second one and I felt in touch with myself on the third one. 3 sun salutations a day. I can do this. Day 1- done! (Who needs a stinking smartphone photo to prove it? but if you want you can envision my feet on a moss green mat, that's the image I would have captured!)
