Day 144 Intention ~ Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

Day 144 Intention ~ Don't Sweat the Small Stuff

There are times when I get worked up over something that, really, in the whole scheme of things, is just not a big deal. 

There are many factors that can lead to this reaction: lack of sleep, if I ate junk food, if I have pms or an argument with someone I love, and many many more. 

Last night, I had one of these moments. I got myself worked up over a little thing because I was overtired and didn't want to be inconvenienced. 

In the light of day, all is fine and everything has worked out. But, I still really don't like when I react that way to things. When it does happen, it means it's time for me to take a step back and really think about what's going on around me. It's usually something else bothering me or causing me to feel frustrated. 

So, think before you react. And really, don't sweat the small stuff! It's never worth it. 

Til tomorrow...

Shanti,

Day 110 Intention ~ Keep Hydrated

Day 110 Intention ~ Keep Hydrated.

A friend of mine used to say that in college all the time when we were out at the bars or at parties. I have kept that mantra for 20 years now. 

We should drink 8 ounces of water a day. If you are exercising regularly and sweating a lot, you need to drink even more. Keeping our body hydrated is good for our organs, our skin, our head, our whole bodies. I am not going to go into a huge explanation of all of this. Chances are if you're reading a blog with the title "yoga" in it, you know the benefits of water already. 

I have been out here in the Florida heat, dancing and carrying on for a couple days now, so it is even more beneficial to me to keep hydrated.

I am just here to remind you...and me.

Til tomorrow...

Shanti,
