Breathe deep, stretch yourself slowly - this takes time

Ep #251 - The parallels between working out or yoga to the journey from sobriety to recovery are so noticeable I must share this perspective with you. I learned a lot from my first yoga session in years today. I will not repair years of shortening my muscles in one session. I am not going to benefit myself by pushing into a stretch so deeply that I injure myself. I am in this for the long haul. I want the benefits of stretching. I want to release the tightness in my shoulders, back, legs, and everywhere else - and all of that will be a process that will achieve me progress the longer I maintain this practice.  In counseling, yoga, and breathing, the term practice is used frequently. Very few activities or things are mastered in life. We wake up, do it again, and commit to this behavior as a practice of life mastery - releasing the expectation that "mastering" it is the objective. The journey is the objective. The journey is the destination. Just hit play, and let’s dive in with our open minds, hearts, and energies, bringing everyone into the fold - you are in the right place, at the right time...right now. It is time. It has been time. To live is to shine. Step into the SUN. Stand up, step forward, raise your hand - it's your turn, head the call! ******************************************** I know you enjoy the show, so PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, RATE, AND REVIEW it on your preferred streaming app or click this link to review it on iTunes.
