There's a First Time for Everything

All of Your Firsts

We all have firsts.  The first time we walked. The first time we talked. The first time we ran a mile. The first time we got a real paycheck. Firsts often require a leap of faith and a lot of courage.  

What you see pictured here is my first supported headstand without having the safety net of a wall behind me.  This is a big step because I'm a chicken. I've been working up to this for months.  It goes back to one-at-a-time.  It took me a long while to even get into this pose (and a long time of bouncing off the wall behind me), but eventually, slowly, I gained strength and confidence and with some guidance of a more skilled yoga guru (shout out to WVYogagirl), I got my form down and now, I did this! 

Slow and steady wins the race when it comes to building strength, healing the body, and focusing on wellness.  If you are in a rut and want to change things, try one small thing at a time.  This weekend, try one new change.  That's how big changes occur, with small steps! 

Happy Weekend.  Happy Veteran's Day.  May you all Bee Well!

Ideas for small changes this weekend:

• Take a 10 minute walk after lunch.
• Take a 10 minute nap after your walk. 
• Meditate, be still, or do breathing exercises for 5 minutes.
• Have a vegetarian day.  Veggie soup makes this an easy one.  (See my previous post for Harvest Stew!)
• Clean out a junk drawer. 
• Take 10 minutes to do yoga. Or research a yoga video you'd like to try!

The options are endless.

Bee Well
