My mom sent me some of her classes. She is my hero.
Monday October 4th, 2010-Day 15
Started the week at work last night watching my patient die. I got extremely close to this family because that was my story 3 years ago with my father. I can see how my life experiences aided in helping this family go through the process of saying goodbye. It always fascinates my watching what happens to the human body as this life ends. Kinda morbid I know. Had planned to go to the studio after work but was so drained I came straight home and went straight to my meditation stop to process the night and talk it out with God. Then hit the hay for about 5 hours of recharging. Got up and Ram offered to do yoga with me. Don't know why I don't like to do yoga by myself. Started the heater and did my meditation/prayer. Then my hubby and I did an hour podcast yoga class. Good workout, but still work harder in the studio.....I think it is due to peer pressure and I am slightly competitive and am always trying to be one of the better ones in class which is hugely frustrating since my body won't bend the way I want it too. I am now totally preoccupied with yoga now. I spend all my time doing it , studying it, and surfing web sites. After 20 years as a nurse, I am more frustrated than ever with what people do to themselves.....heart disease, obesity, smoking, ods. Since I have started doing adult ICU over the last 16 months I am astounded at what people do to themselves. I really want to help people stay well and improve their life....that is why am now so fixated on yoga. Always wanted to be an athlete, personal trainer, fitness guru. I hope I am on that journey now. I have a long way to go in my own fitness and diet but am excited to think that I could spend my days helping people stay well not pick of the pieces after the fact. Our society is rewarding poor life choices....ie disability. Time to reframe our thinking. End diatribe.
