Listening is so so important and a short note about it

I know that I wrote about listening to your body the other day, but I just feel the need to share again.  


Today at lunch I shared with a friend that I was not feeling great, and frustrated because I had so much to do. Starting with a to do list, so I would know just how much I have to do.


She said,"Loren, remember what we say in Yoga.  Always listen to your body."


This is one of the biggest gifts that I get from yoga on and off of the mat.


We can make food choices that are healthy for us.  We can practice yoga or do what ever exercise we do.  We can make to do lists.  If our body is not up for it, then we must rest.  Perhaps, it is our bodies way of reminding our minds to rest as well.  Ah ha, another lesson from yoga and from life for that matter.


Heal yourself by listening to your body.  Heal yourself with food.  Healing Through Nutrition.
