Sometimes it happens that everything seems to be going wrong in our life. Everything seems to be worsening and our efforts to prevent that from happening seem to be reversely messing up the things. I'm currently experiencing it and you might've experienced it too. I'm lucky enough to have friends and family members who love me and are always ready to help me out during the times of need but before going to anyone else for help I like to practice yoga as it often changes my condition during such times.
Given below are 4 ways in which yoga helps me during the bad times:
- Teaches me shaking hands with my discomfort. Frustrating or leaving hope isn't ever going to change the condition. Several times it has happened to me that I felt as if I'm about to fall while holding in the Warrior I pose. However, when I stopped thinking about it and started breathing deeply while relaxing my mind I was able to balance for a longer time. This useful lesson that I learnt on yoga mat can be applied to other parts of life too.
- Reminds me that I'm stronger than I think. At first when I saw a person doing arm balances I imagined how strong that person is. I also made an assumption that I can't ever do it. However, when I started looking deeper into my body, strengthening my body and understanding the level of my strength in my body I was able to do it within a matter of one month! We increase our hurdles by thinking that we can't handle them. We should always remember that we're stronger than we think. Whenever I'm suffering from bad times I just remember that first time when I was able to arm balance perfectly.
- Increases my focus on positive. Yoga practice helps me in realizing the positive that's around me. Too much negativity also worsens our scenario in all cases. It tells me that no matter what's happening in the life, I'm lucky enough to be alive and my breath is still coming in and going out. It provides me huge comfort.
- Reminds that everything is temporary. It's also a very useful lesson that helps in downgrading the negativity inside me. Of course, everything is temporary in this world - from poses to pain to happiness to bad times. Life keeps going on no matter what. So by dwelling on how good everything would be we do nothing instead of missing out on the beauty of current moment. Don't miss it out!
