My yoga teacher was sharing how the other day, she had to
resort to imagining herself doing Sun Salutes in order to re-gain her
composure. Her circumstance involved a five year old.
We have all heard of take
a deep breath before you…say something you might regret, pull out your
hair, tell someone to **off. Visualizing yourself decompressing certainly would
be valuable. But just for one moment, picture yourself just stopping and doing
a Sun Salute. Anywhere, wherever you might be. Just stop, in the middle of
a bad customer service transaction, opening an unexpected bill, at work when
you’re dealing with an ignorant customer/co-worker/supervisor.
Wouldn’t it be
great to just STOP and say, Just a moment please I need to collect myself before
I can deal any further with YOU. Wouldn’t that be liberating? Doesn’t that
just make you smile?
Yes, STOP and go into your Sun Salute, honour yourself and
your feelings and tell the recipient “I’ll be back…better”.
