breath in & out

hello lovers time for another post from A.....so sit back, relax & take a breath in..then out, in & out......can you guess where I am going with this....

Patience is an acquired attribute, and achieving it can be very beneficial. Patience is not a part of me, and it certainly is not in my family members. I know I lack patience, so I decided to try a new tactic that may help me: yoga. One night, after a few too many glasses of wine and obsessive stalking on face book, I encountered a Groupon selling 20 yoga sessions for 25 dollars. I had always wanted to try yoga and actually take more than one class, so I decided to buy it. And I have to tell you I could not be any happier. 

                The first class was challenging because I got stuck in the first row and found myself looking at the clock way too often. I think people have misconceptions about yoga and think it is easy because it is centered around breathing, but it is actually very difficult ( especially if you are always in a rush).

Although I enjoyed my first class, it did take me a few days to get myself motivated to go back.
I ended up going back a week later, and I left with a completely different mind-set than before. I felt calm and at one with the universe. I really enjoyed myself.

I guess the point of this post is to reach out to anyone who may feel like they never have time for themselves, or for those who are just as impatient as I am. I know its tough taking an hour out of your day to just relax but it may be worth it.

Sometimes you need to be in a peaceful mind set in order to accomplish your goals.
