Keep Going

Yesterday, I did a little too much and don't know what happened but my arm was giving me serious pain.  I rubbed and massaged and finally fell asleep after changing my focus.  I understand the agony of having pain in your body you just want relief and get to sleep.  Finally, I fell asleep.   Although my arm was still sore this morning,  with some difficulty doing simple movements, I decided I would attempt to go to my yoga class.  Thursday's yoga class can be extremely tough, but I delight in what I learn and the challenges I can overcome.  This month's theme is on acceptance, so I accepted what I could do and modified the rest.

That's how life is, we are sometime presented with painful situations, but always we must keep going.  I listened to a podcast by Marianne Williams, last night which changed my focus from the pain in my arm to something different. I know that if I had continued to focus on how painful my arm was actually hurting, I would have been stuck in that cycle for a long time and would have never gotten any rest.  Moral of the story, focus on solutions, a nice vacation, your dreams anything to change the negative into a positive.  Thankfully I am much better now.
