I find yoga to be sublime. Great for the body, great for the mind. But this morning I simply coudn’t relax. I was supposed to be concentrating on my breathing and getting my leg wrapped around my head. But my mind was muddled with thoughts of deadlines, invoicing and my sore hamstring.
And then it happened. Our teacher put us in a position so ridiculous and humbling that I bust out laughing. In the middle of yoga, where all was peaceful and calm. Thankfully, yogis are a very forgiving group.
My day has been smooth sailing ever since. This flash of hilarity reminded me that sometimes we really just need to be jolted out of ourselves, especially during the workday. Yes, there are essentials we may not love (invoicing). But what if we consider them stepping stones to where our real interests reside (being creative)?
So snap out of it! Laugh at yourself. Do something ridiculous. You’ll be right back in the game and at your best with your clients.
