World Mental Health Day. For the past few months I was being a little extra hard on myself for not being so disciplined on my asana practice as I used to be, but then I remember why I got into yoga in first place. A while back my anxiety was at its worse. Obsessive and repetitive thoughts made life pretty hard. For while that obsession for sure was transferred to my practice, and yes I must have let it slipped out a bit of it these days, but at the same time sometimes I wonder if I am not brain dead lately, and no I'm not even on drugs haha, maybe I'm wondering what I will get for lunch or dinner, it sounds crazy I know, but how privileged I am to say I genuinely have no worries. Like not at my jobs, relationships, or future. I am just here, and nothing defines success for me more than getting to bed and falling sleep straight away for a solid 7 hours. Yoga, as Patanjali famously defines it, is the “restriction of the fluctuations of consciousness.” In another words, not to think, So yeah F#%k all the other stuff. 📸 @mandysarkis
