Mental Baggage
Last night I came home just feeling spent and pretty down. Life ebbs and flows with happiness, sadness, anticipation, fear, worry, etc. and some days we just can't shake the stuff that's really good at sapping our energy.
Heck, I was so flustered, I couldn't remember what some of the poses were during yoga {revolved triangle... what??}. You know your brain is being overloaded when some of the basic things you know like the back of your hand just don't comprehend.
I came home and whipped up an old comfort food from childhood, pizza on bread. You simply pile on some marinara, veggies and grated cheese on to a few pieces of bread and broil for a few minutes. Comfort food in no time.
Then the manfriend suggested I take a bath and read something for fun (non chemistry). So I took the ipad, a cup of tea and a Runner's World with me and an hour later I had nearly forgot all my worries.
My point is, that sometimes you just have to give in and take a time out. So here's to letting go of our mental baggage and focusing on bigger and better things.
What was one of your favorite childhood comfort foods or meals?
Yoga fun: Tuesday night's peak pose was Flying Pigeon (eka pada galavasana), which also helped me get out of my head for a bit. It's interesting how something that takes more concentration and focus forces out the crap you just don't need (i.e. unnecessary stress and worry).
Sunrise on top of Spencer's Butte: not energy sapping (emotionally anyway)

Because pretty pictures make me happy
