I started doing yoga when I was in one of the most grief-stricken times of my life. I was in a bad place. I hired a yoga instructor to do a private yoga session with me. She said to me that if I did yoga three times a week, it would change my body; If I did yoga every day, it would change my life. I thought to myself, “I wonder if I did yoga every day, if it would ACTUALLY change my life?” So, I made a commitment. I was going to do yoga every day for a full month – and I did.
I didn’t do a ten minutes yoga video on YouTube or something. I did at least a one hour and sometimes 90 minute class in a studio or with a private instructor. I’m a pretty busy guy, so fitting an hour or more of yoga into my life every day was not easy. But I just figured out how to do it.
Because I made that commitment to myself and I was determined to keep it. After one month, it totally shifted the stress in my life. Over a 90-day period, I did yoga 82 times (maybe 83) during that 90-day period, and it completely shifted the space between me reacting to life versus responding to life. If you’re experiencing stress, you’re probably not responding to life; You’re probably reacting.
So, the two questions to ask yourself are:
- What is causing you to react?
- What are the rituals or activities that you can put into place to turn that around?
Sometimes the answer is reading. Sometimes the answer is eating healthy food. Sometimes the answer is moving your body. (I believe this is the very best way.) Whatever the answer is for you, learning to respond can change your Life.
