Exploring my resistance
2 years ago
Today in my yoga class we were doing poses where we held them for a long time, and the last pose was a forward bend. I thought the teacher said we could do a standing or seated forward bend, or plow. I did a standing forward bend and she came and asked why I was standing. (someone else had imitated me, actually, and was also doing a standing bend).
I switched to seated, but I felt a little embarrassed and a flash of anger. Why? I also thought that this is why I should do my own practice, because then we don’t all have to do the same thing (this was still out of anger).
Why did I feel anger and embarrassment for doing something different? For doing what felt best for my body?
I still have a ways to go before I fully accept myself, I guess.
Veggie stock is cheap
2 years ago
Veggie stock is versatile and SO cheap. You literally use trash.
Save the waste you create from chopping veggies (like onions, celery, carrots, apples, pears, green beans, etc but NOT cruciferous veggies like broccoli and NOT peppers) in a plastic bag in the freezer. When the bag is about 1/2 to 3/4 full, put the contents into a big stock pot with water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and simmer till it smells good and has turned a deep brown color. Voila! Veggie stock for FREE! Plus, you just kept waste out of the landfill. Look at you! Saving the earth. Your mother would be proud.
