A Mantra

I've been feeling a little down these past few days, and there's nothing like an anecdote to cheer me up! How about an anecdote from yoga class? A yogacdote!

Yoga class (with the exception of hot yoga, which is a very different bird all together) doesn't really have an agenda. My teacher will say to us "and now, if it's available to you, raise both knees to your elbows." And so I can do this (I can't do this) or I can just chill out and wait to transition to another pose, which I can do. If it is available to me.

I think I'll adopt this into my daily life, especially on days when I'm working on projects at home. First, I will wake up and get coffee. Then, if it is available to me, I will open my email and pursue the tasks. If it is available to me.

The truth here is that, really, everything will be available to you eventually. Yes, even Baksana. Fucking Baksana.
