In My Mess I Forgot I Could Practice Yoga

by brittanypolicastro

The last two days I was stuck in my own fears. My own insecurities. My own triggers.

I was so confused.

I was afraid of getting hurt. Afraid of getting fucked over. Just plain afraid.

And I talked all about it. I talked and I talked and I talked.

I talked to my fiance’ Nick.

I talked to my best friend.

But mostly, I talked to myself.

In the middle of the night. In the shower. While I was trying to read my book before bed.

And I’m talking full on conversations. Over and over and over.

It was madness. Truly.

But I was upset. I was trying to get a sense of control, which really was never mine to get.

And of course I was failing miserably.

The details of all of this really aren’t important. In fact I want you to put your own messy story in place of my own.

What’s important is that yesterday I realized I could practice yoga. Duh.

But the day before I was in such a head trip it didn’t even occur to me. And I’ve been teaching yoga for almost 14 years.

Sure I meditated. I even picked several Osho cards. But it was actually taking an hour to move and breath and flow that got me out of my head.

As soon as I started practicing information started to rise to the surface. Truths began to spill forth.

Because this is how we hold information. We hold it in our bodies, our muscles, our tissues. It just came bursting out.

And I’m not going to say that I felt 100% better after. I didn’t. But it calmed me down. It allowed my mind to take a rest. It brought me back to my power.

I posted my revelations on Instagram and discovered I wasn’t the only one who felt that way. So I thought I’d share it here as well.

If you are struggling. Stop. Just practice yoga. Move. Connect. Breath. It really does work.

It’s so easy to get caught up in our own ridiculous stories. Our own egos. Our own minds.

For me my yoga practice helps me to transform it. Once I got started I could feel the shifts taking place.

Really we just need to come home to ourselves.

No amount of advice or talking it out is really going to work. We need to come home. We need to remember who we are. We need to love ourselves.

And sometimes we will forget this. So I hope this is a sweet reminder.
