Getting into Yoga

Today we are talking about one of my favorite things to do for my own physical and mental health... YOGA! It has taken me many years to embrace yoga but has truly transformed both my mind and body.I took my first yoga class when I was only 18 years old. A friend and I decided to try hot yoga and we soon realized that it was not for the faint of heart. Needless to say we did not make it through the entire class. But this started my wellness journey.I always looked at exercise as a way to keep my body looking a certain way. Through my 20-30s exercise was just something that I did, it was not a mind and body connection. I tried light weight training which led to high interval training. But ultimately I felt that disconnect between my mind and body.Since then I have rediscovered yoga and it has been a fantastic way to stay present and healthy. One of my favorite online yoga resources is Yoga with Adriene. She has an amazing YouTube channel full of great yoga videos. Follow along with her below!Yoga with AdrieneAdriene's YouTube Channel If you practice yoga or decide to try it for the first time let me know!

Zero Sum Thinking

Today we are talking about Zero Sum Thinking and the troubles I see with this theory. The basis to this way of thinking is that is someone is doing better than you, they are winning and you are losing. That there can only be one winner in life. I have a really hard time with this, I don't feel that there should be one winner and one loser in life. I believe that everyone can win in anyway that servers them in life. I encourage you to put your blinders on and worry about your own game of life!Need more inspiration? Take a listen to these previous episodes that build upon this conversation!
