A quick reminder to be kind to yourself today. A few weeks ago, I was invited to hot yoga with a group of friends. Having never tried yoga, let alone hot yoga before, safe to say I was very much outside of my comfort zone. Not being afraid to step into the unknown, I decided to tag along. For those who have never heard of hot yoga before, imagine the warm-up stretches you did in PE class on steriods, and instead of on the school field, you are inside a sauna with the best of Ben Böhmer playing in the background. Doesn't sound too crazy, right? Believe me, if you can keep up with the class for an hour without collapsing to the ground, you should be very chuffed with yourself 😅 After the gruelling 1-hour-long session in the heat, we were encouraged to stay back, lie on the mat, and take up as much space as we'd like. Lastly, we were instructed to simply "be kind to yourself" for the next 5 minutes. What a simple yet outrageously profound sentence that is! Her final instruction to "be kind to yourself" hit me like a ton of bricks. Without knowing it, we tend to be our own biggest critic, bully, and enemy. We know all our greatest insecurities, always observing them and calling them out. We are constantly telling ourselves we should be better, stronger, faster, richer, and happier, and very seldom do we take the time to simply "be kind to ourselves." Please don't get me wrong, I'm as ambitious and competitive as the next person and am constantly seeking growth in my life as I believe this is a large part of what makes life worth living. However, there is a very fine line between ambition and self-degradation—a tightrope that few navigate successfully. Reflect, appreciate, feedback, plan, attack, repeat. Since that hot yoga session, I have made a conscious effort to build 10 minutes of being kind to myself into my daily routine. For me, the morning commute to work post-gym seems to work well, and I highly recommend that you try this too. #SelfCare #BeKindToYourself #HotYoga #PersonalGrowth #MentalHealth #WellnessJourney #DailyRoutine #Mindfulness #SelfCompassion #HealthyHabits #FitnessJourney #SelfImprovement #BalanceInLife
