Have you ever noticed your body holds on to stress?
I most definitely have noticed that in the past AND, most recently, in the past two weeks. I try to balance it out with yoga.
Today I moved into my first downward dog and I could barely get into it, I was so tight.
I've heard you store stress in your hips (yes for me) and I also think you store in your shoulders.
As I moved through our extreme flow yoga class (which is exactly what I wanted today) I was patient with myself and let myself slowly open up. I think this is not only physically, but emotionally too.
Yesterday at the office, everyone was ready to offer their critiques of the conference, which I appreciate and know are very important. At the same time, I couldn't carry a conversation about any of them to explore solutions. Part of this was pure exhaustion. Part was the stress still lingering, I think.
I worked my way through the poses and gradually opened. By the end I was in scorpion...against the wall...let's not get crazy.
