let the pain go

Today, I am grateful for my yoga practice.  This moving meditation grounds me.  The act of focusing on my breath, intentionally drawing gratitude into my body...this brings me joy.  

I am learning work isn't the only thing that makes me wake up with anxiety.  My fear of being late, which is really my fear of rejection, can spark a reaction.  It is directly tied to past programming, my past dependency on pleasing others, my previous belief that your opinion of me mattered more than mine.  

I accomplished going back to bed to give myself some much deserved and much needed rest. 

I delighted in catching up with a dear friend, in receiving an invite to celebrate a milestone with my soul sister, and in the comfort of my warm bed.
