Glancing at the clock, very aware this root cannel procedure
is taking longer than the 90 minutes appointment. Thinking:
Can an open mouth be an asana? How long can I hold this edge? Translating the words “we are almost
done” to the voice of my yoga teacher saying, “take three more deep breaths”
while holding plank.
Fast forward to this morning and reading a short section
from Attitudes of Gratitude: How
to Give and Receive Joy Every Day of Your Life by M. J. Ryan:
“Is the world a wonderful place or a hellhole? All of us know the answer to that
depends on our attitude on any give day.
Has the world changed? Most
likely our thinking about it has.
When we consciously cultivate positive attitudes such as love, joy and
gratitude, we “remake” the world. “
Yesterday in the dental chair, breathing through my nose, I
practiced gratitude.
Grateful for:
- Clear sinuses
- Amazing technology to find and fix a root infection
- Gentle hands of a very young desist
- The new assistances desire to learn
- Time for a nap after the appointment
- Dental insurance
Life coaching teaches:
What We Focus On Expands
Kripalu yoga teaches:
Practice Curiosity and Compassion
Life is good when I remember to ride the waves of life just
noticing and letting go of judgments.
There is power and peace in focusing on gratitude.
