My daughter and I took a quick day trip to Northern VA today, just to get a little taste of a faster-paced life (the NY'er in me needs that once in awhile). While dining at the fantastic Whole Foods Market in Reston, I perused a free publication aimed toward women. One ad for a psychotherapy group mentioned the following:
This group would help-
Let go of self-defeating thoughts, feelings and behaviors
Take responsibility for your health and well-being
Find your own voice in becoming more self-confident
Assert yourself at the risk of disapproval
Confront social anxiety and build self-esteem
We do ALL of these through a yoga practice as well. To each point, respectively:
We learn that we can practice without judging ourselves and others by bringing harmony to our words, thoughts, and deeds
We can mend the disconnect between body, mind, and spirit
Our practice helps us to see we are more than conquerors in all we do
We listen to our bodies and rest if we need to, regardless of the ego's cues
We learn to love who we are, where we are today
It begins on a mat, a little mat.
