I went to yoga for the first time tonight.
I don't know what I was expecting, but I left feeling so enlightened and so sweaty. It really took a lot out of me, but I think I took so much more from it.
At one point, I was focusing on how I wanted to eliminate all the dirt out my life, and ended up visualizing my mom in a white cloth as a Jesus figure hanging white laundry on a line while sheep move in and out of the scene. It's not clear how I got to this picture, but now I want to paint it.
And I want to focus on not being so hard on myself, and making that inner voice be more encouraging. That sounds stupid, but when your muscles are aching and you're holding a position, it makes perfect sense.
